    I had a yj and besides the Dana 35 it as bullet proof. But a ford 8.8 fixed that.

    I'd consider the Jeep Renegade Trailhawk. no lockers, but it has some decent offroad capability. Either that or a Subaru Forester with A/Ts.

    I don't know some pins out the back. They appear to hold some springs in place. Couldn't get the drum off becuase it appears to be messed up inside. Then I remembered I'm under warrenty. Called Toyota and they said it should be covered if I didn't modify the rear brakes. Got a free tow. Should know more tomorrow

    Not to mention smart stop disables the throttle if you hit the gas while breaking.

    Not supposed to. Have to hit gas before brake, gas must be at least 1/3 throttle, and must be over 5 mph.

    Don't do it... Jeeps suck. Sorry to all the jeepers in the past few pages who have expressed their undying love to the brand they no longer own, but they are unreliable. Toyotas are legendary for reliability, with awesome off road capability. Jeeps are legendary off road capability, and for breaking down, weekly. All that neat gadgetry available on the trail hawk will be really cool as it sits in the dealer's repair bay. If you're dying to spend $40k on a nice 4x4 suv, think land cruiser/Lexus.

    Best of luck, just trying to regain some Toyota pride in this bitch

    I agree I like them, to rich for my blood though.

    Hahaha no way!! That's pretty cool actually, if you go to the game on Sunday(last reg season game) they are giving away a 2016.
