I tried my uncle's Toyota Highlander Hybrid in September.. it's a bit small for a true 4x4 stature but, this thing is rapid up to 90mph and in gear acceleration is excellent..

Or a Land Cruiser!

I grew up on Land Rover S2 trucks in east africa, my father loved these cars - we had a V8 pickup that my dad bought from one of the catholic missions and that was mean.. but, personally I go for reliability and real off road ability without having to modify the car. I had a Land Cruiser 95 LWB for a few years and I really loved it, off road it was great and never ever let me down.

No, all primer grey, all woodgrain removed with a 4" lift and a missing front bumper from the previous owner's adventures in road rage.
It's been sitting in the same spot of my garage for going on 14 years.

Right on top of that project....eh?

I told you that I have a longer list of projects than I could ever complete in one lifetime.
I was driving that when I first moved to PA. At least I had an opportunity to put 4 feet of air under the tires before I parked it.
The Chevelle has been sitting where it sits almost as long too and should be the priority project anyway.
I would like to make the Jeep run again though, it was fun.

The same consumer reports I quoted on page 1, ranked almost all Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles at the bottom of their class for reliability.

I test drove a brand new '06 Jeep Liberty when looking for a new 4x4 suv, and had 2 problems on the test drive.  It would not go into reverse consistently, and fan setting #3 did not work - the fan just shut off.  Otherwise I liked it, but I crossed it off right away based on that experience.

If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

+1 on the Liberty, I had a 2004 and in a year and a half of running around upstate NY I managed to put 85k on that thing and it was "almost" unstoppable. It was my fault for taking it down a seasonal/snowmoblie path and after five miles I decided to turn around (not so smart).

That thing never skipped a beat, never was in for any repair at all, was stoopid easy to drive and park, the 4wd was easy and flawless, mileage was around 20 (but I've got a VERY heavy foot, and don't have to pay for gas ;D). I'd recommend it , hell I'd even buy one if I needed a car.


+1 on the FJ, My friend has one and we convinced him to dune it one weekend, it never had an issue. [thumbsup]

have you had issues with your windows?

my parents bought a 06, and both of the rear windows have fallen down while it was parked in the driveway. they just fall....one of them busted when it hit the bottom of the inside of the door.

thats not the only problem, there have been many more, but that'd be a big issue with me...especially if they fell while I was at the mall and all my shit got stolen  [laugh]
