The Anti-Tech
My first 4wd rig was a '67 Jeepster Commando. I rebuilt it from the ground up. Loved that thing. Then I got a FJ55. It was all over after that.
My suggestion, get over yourself and buy a damned 80. Or not.

You say "bias" as if it's a bad thing. The track record is proven. The Land Cruiser is a superior machine. End of discussion.

Keep it to Land Cruisers and you will do fine. Go to any Mustang forum and start bragging about your Camaro and see what kind of love you get. Just sayin'

Yeah, but he's got a bike rack...
Is that a 4 door Mustang?
youtube says Crown Vic
I know they can go places - back in '89 I wheeled a Lincoln Continental on dirt roads and through a creek in Olympic National Park, WA - their weight helps

No kidding? My first Jeep was a 1970 Jeepster Commando. I rebuilt it from the frame up after the fuel pump went out. I was in Graduate School at the time so it took me over three years to finish it. I loved the way the old Buick V6 sounded and the transmission was bullet proof. My 92 Cherokee had a reliable drive train too. I sure wish they made them like that still. I do love how the Land Cruiser is rock solid, comes with factory installed lockers and is simple enough for me to work on. I could have bought two Jeeps with what I have into my Land Cruiser now, but I much prefer having a vehicle that has been proven by the United Nations in third world countries. The UN folks in Guatemala schooled me well on what they can do with these vs. the alternative (Mitsubishi Montero) that some of them were offered.

There are loads of Crown Vics laying around that used to be cop cars. Should be able to pick one up on the cheap. Shocked that he was able to make it up without it being 3X locked!! HAHAHAHAHA
Is that Mustang trail rated?

The bumpers and slider alone are worth $3k.
