I like my jeep, and I like Samurais.

I hate my 15mpg though, so I like Samurai's more now.

I dont have a grudge against jeeps, just the "stereotypical jeep owner"


.Both samurai's and wranglers have their niche. If I wanted a good ride, ac, power steering, and more cargo capacity; I wouldn't have even considered a samurai. However a wrangler would have been perfect.

Edit: I take it back, I hate ALL grand cherokees.

theoretically 46 but that'll damn near pass a samurai on 33's on the highway lol and it's a trail rig with ridiculous gears (16.67:1 in the axles) . . never known anyone to run 50 mph down trail, in mud holes or over rocks (well maybe the crazy ass rock racers but don't think they are running 50 lol). . . . but i'll hook up to any one of ya'lls toyota, jeeps or samurais . . maybe a couple at a time . . .oh yeah at good friday (wish i got it on video) a full size pulled two samurai out of the same hole (side by side) at the same time. . . was great lol

Jeeps are great for "Trail Riding"

Sami's are great for "Crawling" (and everything else)

Yota's are great for parts.


You can't lift a jeep for the cost of a built Sami, plus jeeps had NO* articulation really before the TJ. The XJ took awhile to catch on (which is still my favorite trail vehicle)

* I know it was possible...just unlikely.

are you crazy? there are a lot of trucks that will hit close to 50mph in a mud bog. I know two guys local in Roanoke that can do it when the conditions are right. One has a full size chevy, spraying a zz502. The other has a cj spraying a bbc. On most bogs you will see them just gliding across the top of the mud.
