    I generally hear bad things about jeep resale value, especially when compared to Tacomas and LCs

    I have had a 71 FJ40 Land Cruiser, and while it is a fun and cool vehicle, my 85 pickup has been a much better user friendly and more capable wheeler.

    I would love one of those as well, but I had to narrow it down to a few cars. :( love the look of a blacked out bronco
    If I didn't have my Tacoma I would be driving a 1st gen 4Runner everyday. I can't have them all though :( I just prefer the fj to the 4runner

    Of the bunch I vote FJ and slap a new engine in it. Have seen many Chevy 350 small block kits
    Would be pretty badass to be able to daily drive a FJ

    I'd do my best to keep it original aside from wheels tires and headlights, but if it will need an engine I'd prefer to stay with Toyota.. 5.7 would be first pick >4.6 >4.0 pending on price and work required

    Since you have a car on that list how about a muscle car, especially one pre 75 so it's smog exempt and you can mod up your engine without having to worry about California smog laws :D

    Personally I'm not an old car person. I prefer 95 & up on cars for the most part. Trucks on the other hand I like old and new

    Old bronco as stated above, international scout, fj 40, late 80's land cruiser, so many cool things... I looked at a surplus Humvee but it would be a pita to drive. I had a 72 fj but sold it before restoring. Got an offer I couldn't refuse.

    Humvee would be for off-road use only most likely, I would imagine street driving would be very hard considering how wide it is
