The only real Toyota competitors to the JL are the Series 70 trucks and the Hilux, both are unavailable in the US due to emission controls and not meeting safety standards. Look both up and they are very stripped down and simplified vehicles regard electronics and controls. Both are very austere in any refinements and creature comforts. Not much to go wrong with the mechanicals and pretty easy to maintain and repair in a shade tree mechanic sort of way. Makes them very popular in 2nd and 3rd world counties.
We used a Series 70 crew cab in Namibia last year and while I found it very capable and reliable there was not much more to praise in it. All the outfitters use them but they still have problems.
