My Jeep Yj was reliable as well. Because it had nothing. No AC. No auto trans. No power windows. No windows.
But the auto trans models and auto xj's had a nearly 100% failure rate. And the rear axle was made out of wood. Soft wood. Not sure that I want a new Jeep?
So far I'm ''meh''. It's not a cc truck, or a jeep. I suppose that legroom, and that availability of light and cheap campers for it, could swing my opinion. Not if it has toothpick axles that we'll slaughter on the first trip though.
My aunt could change the cv's on 'burbs and k5's when she was 12.
My grandfather changed them out nearly twice a year. Reliable and durable are 2 different things. Imagine if your cv's and all of your ball joints were shot at 30 000 miles on a modern truck! Don't forget how trashy the...
F350 DRW or 450 XL. XL so you get the steel wheels. The aluminum oem wheels are junk.
I think the base DRW can carry 7000#. Subtract a ton for each option. 1500# if diesel, 800 for CC etc. etc.
I've been driving DRW's in snow forever. Get quality tires, and don't let the trucks...
Statistically, most people go nowhere. Back and forth to work, then starbucks once or twice.
Try going to 3 completely new spots a day for few years. Ask field technicians. I'll bet that they have far greater numbers of occurrences.
Our dirt roads are 15' wide, our jeep roads are maybe 5' wide if we're lucky. So size isn't a deal breaker here. Jeeps don't even fit on their own trails. Bikes and bigs.
But getting high centered is. This jeep truck looks about the same as a pickup there. But maybe it'll have a nice...
Super Dana 60. Same or similar to all other SD's going back more than 10 years now. Detroit Locker, Trutrac, Yukon Grizz, Yukon Zip, ARB, Eaton E locker, Yukon Spartan, Ox, Torq, there's even an Aussie locker for the 60 now. I'd only use the ones in bold. I recommend the Yukon Grizz or...
FM King OEM upgrade 2.5 Coil overs. 2.5 King Rear. Fresh Deavers, tell them your camper weighs 1100#. Helwig rear sway bar, if available.

You can exchange front coil springs with FM if you don't get it right the...
My only concern is taking out of the holster and putting it back. One of my rules is not to finger f#$% pistols. It stays on my belt, until it's ready to be put away for good.
Sometimes it stays on my belt over night. Pants, belt, holster, curled up on the floor like a firemans...
If you skip the bling, they're not all so bad. Mine was 38 000 otd thanks to rebates. You can get regular cab plow trucks all day long for that.
You're not going to get any breaks on ''off road'' models with suede leather floors and Italian coffee makers built in.
People still think I...
We've been doing the opposite over here with great results.
Autolocker front, selectable rear. Yukon Griz, Yukon Zip. I think the new PW's only come with 4.10 gears. So building your own makes more sense if that's not enough gear. I could have swprn that o'der ones had a decent 4.56...
It's a good time to go long arm.

Your budget would be good for a yj, not so much with a tj unfortunately.
It doesn't matter that, that vid was in Australia. It was an example of the muddy roads I drive on every weekend. Did you think I was from Oz? Did you think that there's no mud over here?
-Wet grassy fields
-silty and slick river crossings
-soft beaches (not that packed down Daytona cake)...
