  1. you're dreaming if you think a 4runner is almost as capable. maybe you should go to lite brites channel and see how they wheel their jeep.

  2. imagine trying to pass off constant 4wd and a centre diff lock as being cutting edge or high end. jeep had quadratrac in the 70's some jl's come with selec trac so they're everything rwd, constant 4wd, 4 high, 4 low. always peeves me off when they have an offroad course that could be done in 2wd.

  3. it's a lot better than $6200 for a dodge nitro with low range and jeep badges.

  4. 112mph so it wouldn't have effected the outcome of the race

  5. tommy can put disc brakes on the front, a lunch box locker, fix the radiator, ditch the top and fit the new tyres and he's all set.

  7. i don't know who's been bull shitting to you but a 70 series landcruiser has the typical cheap shit interior toyota have been using since the 80's. crappy plastic, am fm radio and two tiny speakes, the wind up windows still fall down when you hit a bump. but that's the least of their inherent issues considering the alternator is mounted under the engine it has two different track widths and the rear axle is too far forward on the dual cab. so yeah quality and 70 series should not be used together.

  8. $6200 for a dodge nitro with low range and jeep badges. he's not the sharpest tool in the shed is he.

  9. here's some of the things you're wrong about or are ignorant about. the cj5 was available with power loc clutch type lsd's which are extremely tight and durable and they will equal or better brake lock traction control, detroit lockers were invented for early jeeps the first widely available diff lock. free wheeling hubs were also invented for jeeps to save fuel, they were optional and can be left engaged indefinitely if you want, so you can put the tiny violin away about locking the hubs. all jeep cj's have shift on the fly 4wd, you don't have to stop or use the clutch to shift into 4wd you just back of the accelerator and pull the high range lever back into 4wd. it was noted that you tried to make it seem difficult. the parking brake is on the back of the transfer case so engaging that would do nothing for wheel traction. it doesn't work very well like lots of things on that jeep because its 62 years old and you haven't fixed anything. the cj5 has 2wd,4wd, high range and low range. the compass has constant 4wd a centre diff lock (high range 4wd) and no low range. so that leads us to facts all those trails the compass couldn't hope to do because it's not a true 4wd with low range well a lot of those trails were pioneered with a cj5. i also don't think we'll see any compass doing around the world expeditions, towing vehicles, digging trenches or drains, plowing fields or being used as forklifts. i doubt we'll even see a compass on the road in 62 years and we certainly won't see a 3 decade production run.
