Probably still better than any Wrangler before it.
And no one buys those for crash worthiness. They'll still sell millions.

Yankees? I thought you were on occupied northern Virginia.
Shhhhh. I see Yankee people. I believe @JohnVee had people in the group he wheeled with who reside above the Mason-Dixon Line. That or all the old people he is feeding while at his parents just have bad accents, ill fitting dentures, or something totally mean/judgemental on my part that make them hard to understand. I gotta go to church more. Ha Ha!!
When I moved from Fairfax to college in Wingate years ago, I had to frequently defend my right to be accepted as a southerner by reminding people that Virginia housed Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy. If that didn’t work, I’d point out the fact that they were from “North” Carolina.
Virginia. The taint state. Taint yankee. Taint southern. I hear ‘tis for lovers. I wouldn’t know personally. I don’t travel up into yankee states.

Ran into a guy at cars and coffee who is in the middle of collecting things for his van/house build.
The van is going to be an 80's ford high top camper like the one I posted int he ONSC chanel thread.
Engine is going to be either a 2.8 cummins or 2.8 dirtymax tuned to around 420 ft/lbs. Although he isn't against using a period correct 6.9 or 7.3 IH motor (pre power stroke all mechanical)
Trans depends on the engine choice but he wants a Zf6 manual trans and matching t-case
Really that could be done for 20k ish depending on actual van price.

We'd welcome you with open arms Dave. Just bring some rust free cruisers with you.
I suspect the answer is; he thought he could aquire competence with dollars.
I am a mind reader - I accept Bitcoin and Cash - small bills:
@roadstr6 is thinking "I'll send you some crapped out Carolina-crawling 4Runners and Tacomas - - I aint sending Cruisers up there to rust."

I remember my father spraying the underside of our vehicles with drain oil. He used an old metal pump sprayer, twice a winter season. He also steam cleaned them at a big rig garage his buddy ran. They still were consumed by rust but not nearly as fast as neighbors that did not treat their cars. Heather's family come from Maine and upstate NY, they all had what they called "winter rats". Some beat up old car they only drove in winter, parked the good cars.
Winter beaters, a common rust belt solution. I've been looking for a 24 Hours of Lemons car, but it's tough right now because people are out getting their winter beaters for the season.
Waste oil used to be the way to go, but some of the by products of combustion can make it a bit acidic and the environmental impacts of it washing off everyone's cars has made it less prevalent. Fluid Film seems to be gaining in popularity.
Those would sell too. When I moved from VT no NC, the local VT dealer had offered me something like $7k for a trade before we left. No one in NC was talking more than $1k. I missed the boat on that one.
Fluid film is amazing stuff, but everyone else thinks so and so does the company - prices are going up for it!
Back in upstate NY, we would always run our vehicles through DeltaSonic weekly, the under-carriage option was it, remove as much as you can from the salty roads. Worked fine, little rust.
Go Army!
Oh, yeah. That's why my dad's glued to the TV upstairs! Forgot it was today.
