I know where I would spend my $77 large. What about you?

I tried to talk my wife into a TRX, she wanted the 392 wrangler. Her 392 build was $81610.I know where I would spend my $77 large. What about you?
We think alike. I’m actually debating a truck for a second vehicle (while keeping my JLR) and I want a Power Wagon (would love a TRX but the Power Wagon is more practical). But my budget for a second new vehicle puts me solidly in the base JTR or half ton bracket.If I could keep my current 2-door JLR I would actually take the TRX. Actually I’d take a Power Wagon... I’d want the increased towing capacity. I mean if we’re in crazy town and I had $77k to blow on my vehicle I would actually just build my 2 door jeep with a hellcat engine, stretched wheelbase, giant axles, 40’s, etc.
That escalated quickly
Pay 77k for a 392 to drive slow crawls up and down the trails? I wonder if the paddle shifter helps on the rocks?Isn't the trx(and raptor) a Baja truck? More meant for high speed travel across desert than what most people think of as off-roading, slow crawls up and down trails?
Yea well I've never heard of someone driving a wrangler fast anywhere. Big engine is not going to help with high speed stability. It's still a wrangler.Pay 77k for a 392 to drive slow crawls up and down the trails? I wonder if the paddle shifter helps on the rocks?
I totally agree...Yea well I've never heard of someone driving a wrangler fast anywhere. Big engine is not going to help with high speed stability. It's still a wrangler.
Just get the half ton. The PW isn't nearly as "practical" as one might think . The payload is pathetic, power form the 6.4 is disappointing and the off road goodies mostly rendered useless by electronic nannies. Besides, it is mostly just too big for trails. So not a good 3/4 ton truck, not a good off road vehicle. been there, done thatWe think alike.
