IDK the answer - hubster wants to go out and get a newer truck but I don't want another payment and insurance.

You are right, they are excellent vehicles, especially for off-roading, but with the economy the way it is and used models becoming more rare by the day, some parts are very ... difficult... to find, and nigh on impossible to find cheap. <BR/><BR/>It would depend on what your needs are. You say you have an older Jeep... what do you mean by that? Since you mentioned a computer, I would assume either a late YJ or early TJ... (unless it's a Cherokee). I personally would stick with those because parts are abundant and you can find them cheap. Then again, I am a huge fan of older trucks... no computers, can work on anything that breaks, and parts are found in almost any scrapyard. But then fuel costs become an issue. <BR/><BR/>New vehicles are going for dimes on the dollar, but then you have computer to deal with. Better fuel economy, and hopefully something wouldn't go wrong for a good long time, and you should be able to get a warranty.<BR/><BR/>Guess it all depends on how much you can afford and what you need. Good luck with that man!FarmerGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274846096761160244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594902428992225313.post-87750868014597186232009-03-24T19:56:00.000-04:002009-03-24T19:56:00.000-04:00Toyota FJ-40 Land Cruiser.

Will put any other 4X4 to shame, I mean any. Used one are like gold and run about $4000.00 or more. But worth every penny. In a tractor pull a stock one pulled a full pull of 10,000. They are geared for anything. The only 4X4 that can crawl over obstacles in 4 wheel low without touching the gas, at an idle (been there done that). Designed to do that. Check one out you will not be sorry.Pat Riothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362192287441286015noreply@blogger.com
