Help my wife pick out her rig
« on: January 12, 2014, 10:55:52 AM »
So I'd like to get my wife something so that she can do more than just ride along in my Jeep. Right now, we have narrowed it down to two choices:

1995 Range Rover Classic- loads of custom fab, straight panels, new paint, beadlocks, 35's. I have a feeling the axles would need to be built up to make sure they don't grenade.

2000 Taco Truggy- d60 kingpin front, 14 bolt rear, lockers, gears, exo, straight panels, good paint.

I like the Taco since she could wheel it without worrying too much, but she likes the Rangie since it is so different and is inherently cool for mixing "luxury" with great offroad capability. I just worry about the axles. Let us know y'all's thoughts.

Not even close.  Yota from those choices.

If she were going to drive it to the mall or work everyday I see her point but for a trail rig those profits will not serve get well.

Where you going to find parts for that rover when you have a trail failure? Big city dealer...if he doesn't have to fly them in. They are also an electronics nightmare.  

I'm a Jeep guy so my choices would be

Yoga at of those two. Jeep would be best choice. The guy that owns the Toyota lives down by lake Allatoona

Yeah, I've been messaging him back and forth. I agree on the spare parts argument. We already have the Jeep, so we are looking for something different.

Something similar means common parts. 

Danny had a Toyota buggy for sale.  Not sure if he still has it.

I'd vote Yota for the trail, but that being said, that has got to be the most badass range Rover I've ever seen!

I like that range rover, but I'd go with a Toy.

Toyo for sure, that thing has the bones to take a beating and keep on wheeling   //SLAMIN//

Toy hands down. The rang rover would have some sheet metal damage quick. You won't hurt the toy axles.
