I bought my first Toyota 3 yrs ago and i'm crazy about em! As it sits my truck needs a new turbo, after 220,000 miles! Just out of nessesity, in thoes 3 yrs, I put in 1 new universal joint, brake shoes/pads,new exhaust from the cat back and tires. I own 1 jeep that I drove in stock form at the same time I drove my turbo truck and as it turns out 100,000 miles was about all it (or my wallet) could take. I won't even begin w/it's parts list. So now it's a project Jeep. I think it's all about what your into. Jeeps do have a heriatage about them, for what its worth, but everything about them is expensive, and it's a domestic vehicle. The way I see it is, I could build 2 well equiped Toyotas to 1 well equiped Jeep, hands down. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />
