Realistically, I'm looking for a commuter/daily driver for 110mi. daily round trips to work with my wife that will have a high price tag, mediocre road manners, loud interior noise at highway speeds, barely adequate bed storage, & unimpressive gas mileage, and awesome offroad capability that I will probably never use just so I can become part of JEEP culture and maybe get away from my current GM fanboy mentality by getting into a Fiat.

<Rose colored glasses> I want the coolest offroad truck in the parking lot at work and maybe something too tall to mall crawl into parking structures. </Rose colored glasses>

Foul weather commuting machine that I can load with stuff, like mulch, household appliances and other items.

I’m looking for a best friend. :fingerscrossed:
may I suggest go visit your local 'pound' and rescue a Dog - they make GREAT Best Friends and they won't ever argue with you . . . well unless you mistreat him/her ! Go great in the back of your JKU while waiting on the JT ! ?

I’m looking for a Wrangler and a Tacoma, rolled into one.
That just might be the forthcoming WAGONEER. ? But I'm inclined to WISH for a 'africa'-concept Jeep, like the other poster . Either will do and would require, in addition to the NON removable roof, a manually-operated Large Dual "sun roof" -- think freedom panel Large and Dual, as in sun-screen glass & heavy duty Mesh-screen ! The Glass hand cranked open & shut while the Mesh, can be easily Slid closed (rear to front - similar to the Bestop accessory!).

To be honest with myself, I don't want to spend (with trade) +$25-$30K on a JT, or even a JLU of some kind ! I feel I need one or the other because I'm too 'OCD' about putting pinstripes on my 2016 G.C. ! I've got a few and they piss me off, no end ! However, your dream is my dream too -- The AFRICA concept is/was Awesome imo ! And IF Ursa Minor Vehicles could incorporate a J30 RTT ! Oh Yea ! At that point I'd fully succumb to the "want" regardless of the cost ! Well, to a point anyway. And that's what I'm looking for . . . but I'll probably be settling on something less than the africa-concept (JT) with a CAP on the bed.

I'd say I just want a wrangler with the extra towing, but I realistically need a bit more cargo space inside. I could care less about whether the top is fixed or not. I won't take it off, but I will remove the doors and I need that. I will put a fabric cap on my JT, or if there's a decent looking fiberglass one that looks more like a jeep or defender top than a truck cap, I'll do that.
