Having four wheeled a number of Toyota pickups over the years in the company of various Jeeps, one thing that seems to be a recurring theme is that Jeeps don't have nearly the "design margin" that Toyotas have. In other words, modify them somewhat and you're going to find the weakest link in a hurry.

They are great off road vehicles, though. If you keep it relatively stock (and only go on trails that a relatively stock Jeep can traverse) I think you'd be happy with one.

The Landcruiser suggestion is a good one (especially an FJ40), but they have gotten waaay too expensive, IMO.
