“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up

My vacuum cleaner quit working, so I pasted a Jeep logo on it. Now it sucks again. If you want your vehicle out on the trail instead of the repair shop, get a Toyota!

Hey...to each their own.....
I will probably never spend money on an American-made (whatever that means anymore) car. Just can't get past the inferior build quality.
Except...EXCEPT...
If I'm slogging through Michigan's upper penninsula I bet it'd be easier to find spare parts for a Jeep than a Land Cruiser. That might affect my decisions. As-is, I'm okay with my Expedition.
But then again, the LC will likely out-last...they are built better/stronger...(sigh).

That's because the 4-banger is always working.. it's underpowered.
A buddy of mine stopped by the house yesterday afternoon and took me for a ride in his 'new' 2006 Durango with the 360 Hemi in it. He put it in 4WD and romped it on dry pavement, that big bastard spun the tires! It's almost as big as my Suburban, had a 3" lift and 35" all-terrains... I was impressed.
When he was driving normally with no load on, 4 of the cylinders cut out. Getting 22 MPG is damned good in a large 4x4.
