scguy Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 NC and TN are absolutely crawling with JTs. As much as I like the look of a regular cab truck, they're just not very practical as a daily driver if you have any sort of family. Link to post Share on other sites

Need to pick up a cubic yard of fill dirt? Try that in an SUV. The great equalizer? A trailer. You can always hook a trailer up to a SUV, truck, shoot, even a minivan. That's why I don't worry so much about bed size. Link to post Share on other sites
Pete M Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 the tow rating of a JK/JL is abysmal. the Jeep truck can at least tow a thing or 2. Link to post Share on other sites
Jesse J Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 those are very valid points. definitely agree with the trailer equalizer. Link to post Share on other sites

89 MJ Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 When's the Hemi swap? Link to post Share on other sites
billyblankss Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 It's weird but I fell in love with the comanche before I even really started to like Jeep as a brand. I've grown way more fond of the brand but for some reason i still prefer the look of the XJ and MJ to the wrangler. I got the comanche because i wanted a small truck with 4x4 and it was rare and beautiful and when i put it in 4low it will go up any hill. I like that they're trying to make a truck now but objectively the gladiator is pretty ugly and still not a truck. The comanche is literally the best of both worlds, jeep and truck. Comanche > all other jeeps for me for whatever reason. Also it's very funny to me that the MJ is a dude magnet, as i explained to my wife. There are some cars/trucks that get girls to look, but this truck is pretty and chicks are dumb (jk). However, nearly everywhere I go some dude will come up and tell me how sick it is. I have never seen the KJ8 before today and I immediately texted my JK friend that we need to do this to his. Link to post Share on other sites

I have never seen the KJ8 before today and I immediately texted my JK friend that we need to do this to his. I've never been the biggest wrangler guy either. I always loved comanches/old gladiators and LJs (most unique wrangler) but when I first saw a JK8 it was something I had to have. The amount of aftermarket support, the single cab styling, the uniqueness etc. Since I liked the LJs so much I decided to make a custom top for camping that can easily be changed back to the jk8 top.
