Default my next rig...?

well my little brother is turning 16 soon....and well he loves the xj....just like me or may be even more!.....i wanted to get a new xj and...mm...have an xj duh...but im getting an itch for something different....this are my options....give me your opinion...."this rig wont be DD".

1) 1990-1995 toyota 4 runner 4 banger and do the SAS swap.
2)1985 toyota pick up which is a 4 banger with solid axle already under it.
3)jeep yj 6 banger
4) jeep tj banger
5)1990-1996 ford f150 single cab v8
6) early bronco (1967-1969)
7) k5 pick up
8) jeep mj
9) idk...what else could i wheel?.....


plz dont tell me this a jeep forum...go jeep...because yes i know jeep rocks! but is not the the best rig at ALL situations....every rig has an advantage over the other one....

i dont want to change from jeep for dumb reasons...i just want to build something different....and not only that but i will help my brother finish the white elephant (white xj)

Because a YJ is cheap to lift and much less expensive then a TJ. Dont have to deal with airbags, very simple electrically.


Also when they are stretched they look BA.

Broncos are the ****, build one and whip every jeep out there! Or you can go with an IH scout!

I'd do the Bronco...I've always been a Chevy guy, but I've always had a soft spot for those first gen Broncos. Tough, not too big, but still have room in them...The MJ would be pretty sweet too, but it really depends what you will be doing with the Vehicle...I know you said not a DD, but there's still about a million and one things you may want to build it for. So it's kind of tough to answer...
