You have no idea what you're talking about. Absolutely none. Let's start with the simple fact that 80 - 90% of the rigs on rock crawling trails are either Jeeps or Toyotas with a sprinkling of old Scouts and Broncos. Nissans are indeed rare.I have been so far in the boonies first with my 92K blazer and now with my 2010 Nissan pathfinder that there was no cell phone service. Seriously if you feel that your Chrysler is such a piece of shit that you need a welder you should stay home. You are assuming that the broken tie rod won't translate quickly into a broken skull and that is not always the case.Pure junk as are all English made cars. They were junk long before Americans began making junk. Now there are no English car companies of any note remaining. The same route American brands are following. Today Chrysler brands are actually Fiat and that is truly lame. A note of ironey is that previous English brands are now either German or funnier still Indian owned. How's that for revenge?
Well I managed to keep the three MG's I had running in the 70's and 80's (SU downdraft carbs). The Land Rovers had/have their reliability problems and one reason I went with a new Jeep over a used D90, but I wouldn't call them "junk".
I'm not sure you did much better beause latter day Jeeps are junk too. When I was a rock crawler those things broke down constantly. I lost count of the Jeep tie rods I've trail welded. One good thing about that was that I didn't need to haul as much beer and ice.
LOL you bring welding equipment with you or you light a flare like MacGyver
I have an underhood welder and I carry a spool gun, welding rod and a welding hood in my gear along with a compliment of tools. There's one thing you can be sure of when wheeling out in the boondocks and that is that AAA ain't coming. You either somehow fix it yourself or start walking. You should see some of the McGiver trail fixes though. How about repairing a busted tranfercase with beer cans and JB Weld for example. However, It held oil and that was all that counted to get to the end and off the trail so it was legit.
Or after this happens more than once it is clear that new heavier not made of Chrysler steel rods are needed
A 2019 Ford GT is simply a better looking/performing version of that car, but i do love GT40s.I'll take my GT40 MkI over a modern car any day of the week
Because a jeep is a piece of shit that no one cares if they lose it.You have no idea what you're talking about. Absolutely none.

Rattletrap is the best rock crawler | Change my mindThe Land Rover D90 Defender is one of my favorite vehicles. I almost bought a used one in 2003, after they stopped being imported. It was $30K, and since I wanted a daily driver, I passed and bought a new Jeep Wrangler TJ for $20K which I still have as a weekend vehicle. They are getting huge bucks today.
Pure junk as are all English made cars. They were junk long before Americans began making junk. Now there are no English car companies of any note remaining.

Well mine is a 2003 TJ Jeep Wrangler with 206,000 miles on it. Half its life was spent in the Colorado Rockies, and doubled as a daily driver and weekend rock crawler. No tie rods broke, and only normal maintenance required. I did replace one water pump. Yes, anecdotal, but my experience, and it's still running strong with the same clutch.
Unless it's really built, I bet I could take that thing to a trail not thirty minutes from my house and it would be broken inside of a morning or afternoons wheeling. If it's stock, it wouldn't last an hour.
You own a GT40? Consider me impressed!A 2019 Ford GT is simply a better looking/performing version of that car, but i do love GT40s.I'll take my GT40 MkI over a modern car any day of the week
Yep. I like the 2005 version as well. But mine has history, and it sounds better than the new ones.

Unfortunately or fortunately (whichever way you look at it) I hate, hate, hate most of the 70s and 80s cars, think they are the ugliest pieces of junk Detroit ever put out.
With few exceptions (Trans Am) they were ugly, poorly made cars
Lazy ass Union workers, who thought their gravy train would last forever?
I agree.
.
Union workers did not design the cars, they did not buy the parts, they did not set quality standards
It took a combination of commie auto unions and inbreed, clueless management to kill Detroit and they did a through job of it. Teamwork!
You are both wrong.
It isn't the workers, it isn't the management.
Well, it is not entirely one or the other.
BOTH use GOBERMENT.
It was, in the final analysis, THE MAN, that destroyed the industry. It is primarily GOVERNMENT that did in the industry, and still meddles with the free market. It does it to death.
Okay, we got it, you don't like English vehicles or later day Jeeps........ Nobody cares.......The Land Rover D90 Defender is one of my favorite vehicles.

I thought you went everywhere by bikeYou know I spend a lot of time watching Velocity and a lot of the car building shows they do on it.
And, I've figured out that if I decide to buy another car someday, it's gonna be an older model that doesn't have a computer in it. Why? Because if that day ever comes when a nuke war is unleashed, the cars without the computers are going to be the only ones that will still work.
Besides, I don't like the thought of having to use a computer to diagnose an engine. My Grandfather could listen to an engine for around 30 sec. and know exactly what was wrong with it and what needed to be done to fix it.
