If I couldn't have an XJ....havent put much thought into this one....

I'd have to have a Commanche....closest to a XJ....plus I like the looks of it.

As far as best to worst Jeeps..... XJ IS THE BEST ALL OTHERS FAIL , lol....but I still like the other ones too. Not trying to "dis" any other Jeep types out there

Order from best to worst in my opinion, and the order in which I'd take them:

XJ - Cherokees just have it all in one great package.
MJ - The best qualities of a XJ with a pick up bed.
Honcho/J10-20series - Beast. Just plain beast.
SJ - A full size Cherokee is awesome; you just can't go on small, tight trails.
TJ - The best of the Wranglers: great offroad, just a tad too small.
WJ - Near XJ capabilities, just softer.
ZJ - Cushier than a XJ, but a little weird looking IMO.
YJ - Front leaf springs make for a bouncy ride.
CJ - Classic: uncivilized on-road, tons of fun offroad.
WK/WK2 - The Soccer-mom mobile in Jeep form. And vehicle of choice (SRT-8) for men who just realized they've turned 50.
JK - A 4-door Wrangler? Just bring back the XJ!
XK - Room for 7 and nothing else.
KK - 2nd gen of the "XJ replacement".
KJ - This is the "new Cherokee"? Yeah Right!
MK - Puny cross-overs aren't worthy of the Jeep name.

I know I'm gonna get slammed for this but...

Over here in the UK we only have the cherokee or grand cherokee to choose from and I'm not a fan of the grand cherokee. The harcore offroaders all swear by the old Landrover defender 90/110 but they're so cramped inside!!

IIRC i don't think this is available in the US but please correct me if i'm wrong...
This is my old truck and despite it's size (over 18ft long!) was surprisingly good in dirt appart from when I got it stuck on it's front bumper and tow hitch in a ditch. I'd still have another one tomorrow if the cherokee became extinct.

If I couldn't have an XJ?! That is my definition of HELL. My next choice would have to be MJ, looks exactly the same but it's got a truck bed! I also like the Patriot Extreme, looks a lot like an XJ...

Default my take on this

1. Xj- duh
2. MJ- just as sweet and good looking
3. TJ- rubicon, with the 4.0. probably the most capable stock jeep
4. J10 truck- those things were awesome
5. FSJ- its a shame there isn't more around
6. SRT8 with the hennessey package. faster than a ferrari
7. CJ- i'd rather have one over a YJ
8.YJ-short and bouncy, but still very fun to drive
9.ZJ with a V8
10. anything but the liberty, compass, patriot, commander, or grand. although the new 11' GC looks pretty nice.

for me, it would be a tj, but i have a couple of those too, so then i'd say an old cj3.

if i were choose other than jeep, it would be hands down, an early bronco.
next choice, old scout.
