yeah ive wheeled with a rubicon a few times, i really dont see the hype. technically its the most capable stock vehicle, maybe besides the h1. but you can buy a s10 or jeep for $1000 and put another 2-3 k into and kill it on the trails. i tend to do really good cause im not worried about damage

 

hmmm, sounds like a problem....the 4.3 is stout and the 4l60 trans is pretty tough too, when pullin people out....if there vehicle runs let em help ya

 

a zr2 is more capable than a rubicon, i hope

 

Good luck finding a jeep for $1000. My roommate is looking for a XJ 4x4 to toy around with, you will have no luck finding one for that price. Hell he can't even find one that isnt running for that money. The cheapest one he has found is 4000 for 150000 miles and a straight body. I'm trying to convince him to go for an FJ cruiser but he doesn't want to spend that much. They are pretty sweet vehicles with the exception of the interior and it's Tonka sized everything.

 

Yeah I've been diagnosing this problem for a number of months, after my indepth testing, I'm leaning towards a MAF

I live in Ontario, canada. We get lots of snow here. went offroading on a warmer day, the trail was a mix of huge ice chunks, soft sticky snow, and deep sticky mud. me and my friend kept gettin stuck in the ice and mud and takin turns pulling each other out. he was drivin an early 90's dakota with 31's, and i have a stock height 01 blazer 4door 4x4. i notice the blazer will go through anything...until I stop, then im stuck.

 

I normally am an xj driver 4 to 6 inch lifts with various tires and winches across the three of them just got this blazer for an a to b for work 2000 ls 4wd and i took it up the mountain trails usually left for the lifted TJ and XJ s to my surprise the 4wd drive in this thing was amazing and 4lo surprisingly unexpected torque and low gearing this is the second barebones stock vehicle I've ever seen make this trail and this is a three out of five trail known to eat vehicles with the rocks and the grades almost 70 degrees uphill and it did all that for an 1100 dollar vehicle not bad in my book
