Chevy Trailblazer

infiniti G35x (XD get it? cause it has AWD LOL)

I'm such a jokster

You wouldn't happen to know of a place that sells old Army Hummers would you??? Also Trailblazers aren't exactly in the same class as the Jeep Grand Cherokee for off-roading.

Depends on the Jeep really. My dad's friend has an '04 Grand Cherokee since fall of '03 and hasn't had any problems yet. This girl I know from school has a '99 Jeep Wrangler X with no problems. Also my friend's dad has a late '80's Cherokee and the only thing he's ever had a problem with is the clutch and that goes out ever couple years, but they hardly drive it at all anymore.

I see alot of breakdown jeeps. One did it in our culdisake once

[Andydg]

That might be but what you should look at are Consumer Report type of things...just because you see a few broken down doesn't mean that Jeep reliability is in question. I've seen a lot of broken down Hondas and Toyotas, but that's most likely because there's so many.

Well, jeeps arent as bad as Fiats and jaguars lol

In my opinion you can't beat a K5. I had a Full size Jimmy with lockers front and rear with 33's and there was not much that it would not go through.

I agree completely, perfect size, wieght, power, etc. for just about anything.

I too would have to say K5 Blazer. I have a 3/4 ton Silverado, and it does great completely stock. I've pulled some lifted toyotas and nissans out of deep mud, then go through myself only to see them try again and get stuck once more. The K5 Blazer is pretty much the same as my truck, just shorter which makes a BIG difference on trails. If you end up getting something other than a K5, buy anything but an import. They do ok... but they break a lot more than beefy American made trucks. After all, you don't get good gas mileage by having lots of steel on it.

id say early model bronco if they werent so damned expensive, toyotas are nice, k5's an broncos are great for it. the truck i reall want is the new ranger with the fx4 stage 2, friends has one and thing is great off road.

I would like to add a Jeep Wrangler to my recomendation. I have a buddy with one, all he has is a 2" "budget boost" and 31x10.5 tires. He's probably spent less than $800 for the lift, tires, and rims; and it will go just anywhere a K5 will go. It's lower up top, and narrower, so it will fit through tighter trails. Although, in a big truck you can push trees a couple inches out of the way :-D

For trails/sand I would definitely go with Toyota Tacoma TRD with rear locker, however for mud slinging...you need power...Chevy Z71.

Yeah those Wranglers can really do well. They probably have the same power to weight ratio as a K5 too.
