I've browsed through this forum along with FB groups for the past few days. I'm making a new truck purchase soon and really am lost in my options and want to get some opinions of the JT guys here.
I've owned a few jeeps, an XJ that was amazing, a CJ that was a bad ass (left me stranded a lot, but I DD'd a heavily modified CJ fwiw), and my wife's Liberty which was a POS.
I've also owned an F150 that I loved, but that was a 2005, and don't really have an interest in an F150 anymore.
I'm considering a JT or a Tacoma, but am horribly stuck.
I love to hunt, don't care about MPG, like to off road (nothing too insane), do a ton of home restoration projects, and I have 2 little girls to occupy the back seat.
I'd probably buy a Sport S or Overland and upgrade to a small lift and 35's for the time being, and if needed in the future, I'd buy an aftermarket rear locker, but I don't think I'll need it honestly.
I'm just concerned about reliability with the JT. Have anyone had any real problems here with their Jeeps so far? I loved my Jeeps and consider myself a Jeep guy, but I want to keep this till at least 100k - 130k and don't want to be stranded in the middle of the woods or on the side of the road.
I've heard so many complaints about JK's and JL's, that I'm worried about the JT. Id love to have another Jeep to rip the doors off and plow through the woods again, but I just have a bad feeling about reliability. My XJ ran amazing, even with the cylinder head issue of 2001 and would love to feel that Jeep pride again that I know I won't get with a Tacoma.
Any opinions? Any Tacoma converts?
