Not jealous at all...

Saw this one while out running errands yesterday. These guys rank #2 in my ‘would love to have as a 20+ year old 4x4 vehicle’ list. I love my 3rd Gen, but these old wagons are the bee’s knees.

1. Defender
2. Land Cruiser
3. 4Runner
4. Disco II

 

Bad ass for sure!

 

The TRD colors look great on that old LC!

 

Don’t forget the jeep grand wagoneer from the 80’s

 

And the old Scouts and Broncos

 

Yeah, that’s a closet fetish for me. It’s why I watch lots of apocalypse movies... the old kindly farmer folk always have one to escape in.

 

I have a 25 year old 4x4 Jeep XJ. 103K miles.

 

I just sold my 88 a month ago.

Bought it for $2500. with 130k miles drove it for 12 years/75k miles, and sold it for $6500. Was not all bee's knee's. No AC, crapy mpg, and handled like a boat.

But never broke down. If you want the best of both worlds, 96/97 Fj80 is where it's at.

 

I would love to have an FJ60 with an LS swap and 6LE60 transmission.

 

Or the Cummins 2.4l turbo diesel.

 

If you drove a Scout, Wagoneer, Jeep or Bronco as a daily driver back in the 70's-80's you'd truly understand just, how spoiled we are with todays vehicles...

 

My 2019 DCSB MT doesn’t have a granny gear like my 68 f250 or 80 Bronco did. I miss that option
