I just feel short-changed by the JL: the jump from CJ-7 to YJ was pretty dramatic, and from YJ to TJ was another massive leap, but the JL just feels more like a mid-run refresh rather than a new generation. Then again, that's basically what Toyota did with the third-gen Tundra so what do I even...

Speaking as a backpacker, the one spice that makes everything taste incredible is hunger.

Thanks! I love that poncho, and not just because I'm a Frank Zappa fan.

Yeah, all I can really say that's right about the JL is that they fixed the JK's face, otherwise it's still just a JK with a diesel option and lighter frame. If the Gladiator had an extra cab longbed option I'd consider it, but as it is right now it has too much cab and not enough bed to be...

That's what I'm sweating, too. This thing already squeals a bit in overdrive and slips on a hill, it's just a matter of time before it's a brick.

I see that you're in Ca, are you anywhere near Sonoma County? My Dad is part of the Sonoma County Radio Amateurs club and helps teach licensing classes, they typically have a class every few months, it's one long weekend.

I'm hopeful that the new Bronco will kick-start a new round of cool heritage-inspired 4x4s and break us out of this jellybean-car crossover rut. The fact that it can come with three pedals and a proper gearbox is also really encouraging, too. The slushbox is the absolute worst thing about my...
