You know I may be thinking a little more old school. I watched one around 90 or so Rover that did some pretty narly stuff. Ugly as sin but I was pretty inpressed at its capability.

This just goes to show that everyone has their personal preference, and the best 4x4 vehicle for one person might be the worst for another.

I think the Hurricane is a killer design that I wouldn't mind playing with for a day or two. I definitely wouldn't want to own one, due to the maintenance nightmare, and I severly doubt it would ever be slated for production. The thing I like the most about the Hurricane is that it shows Jeep likes to pursue new ideas.

I personally think that the Rubi is the best stock production 4x. Plus, with all of the money you save from the cost of a Hummer, you can customize it to your liking. And still fit it in an average parking space...

2 WORDS DODGE RAIDER/ MITSU MONTERO SORRY COULDNT HELP IM A RAIDER DRIVER

Chris,

I'm not going to call you an idiot, but your post reflects the majority of 4x4 vehicle owners that promote their personal bias for anything they have purchased.

I passed one of your montero's on the highway yesterday; I couldn't help noticing the narrow and tall profile this rig has . . . wouldn't take much of a trail to lay it on its side.

You obviously have had very little time acutally four wheeling to even begin to compare the montero to the few vehicles discussed above. Guys like you should keep their comments restricted to sites where the posters have a similar mentality, in my opinion. Attempting to stir-up the pot in this manner is just going to get your ego stepped on. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I would recommend you first attempt to actually four wheel your montero for a period of time before revisiting this board; or after you purchase a capable 4x4! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

Actually Fred I have taken it "actully 4wheeling" i used to live in virginia and we used to go out to the shandoah mtns almost every weekend. and your comment about them rolling not a problem, look in the MOST USED FORUM on here the mitsu/dodge forum about roll-overs in these. Its not an issue. also not to be rude but most jeep drivers i have encountered on the trails seem to be really cocky about their jeeps when they see my Raider and what it can climb. And i am not bias towards mitsus, i do like them but i would take a Rubicon, i couldnt justify spending 28,000 on one. But thats just my opinion.

You continue to miss the point! We're discussing vastly superior rigs! Montero's <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Hey, Chris! Just having a little tongue-in-cheek fun! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> What do you expect, anyway . . . this is a Jeep board! BTW, you can buy a Rubicon (TJ) for around $22-$23 thousand. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Everybody's gonna have a different answer for this one. What about the unlimited class trucks that race the Baja 1000? Theyre pretty hardcore. I could probably design some exotic tube type rig that would be my ultimate 4x4 but I doubt it would ever be a reality. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I think we are considering stock here... Just about any tube buggy will beat our jeeps. If you want the ULTIMATE in ability to go places, get a dirt bike. I bet with my bike I can go twice the places anyone here can in half the time....

not if i'm on my dirtbike! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Show me a bike with 4 wheel drive and I'll call it a winner. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
