Hey guys,
Relative newbie.
Been looking at Jeeps as i like the look of them but someone mentioned maybe not the best choice.
So simple q;
If you had 50k to spend on an off roader you can also use as a daily what would you be looking at/for?
I prefer manual as like the control but really just want advice from everyone and a nice pros and cons list type thing to steer me onto the path of happy off roading.

I've always found driving autos quite a soulless experience. Maybe different off roading but I've always enjoyed having that control.
Will take a peak at the nissan though cheers

Dont lesson to him is old & lazy (joking), find your self nice Wrangler with manual (you can try the auto at the beginning but am sure you will be back to the manual when u become expert)
you can find TJ 2005/06 around 30-40k ot JK 2008-10
If you want easy smooth drive during daily use the options are Pajero/ Patrol/ Xterra/ Cherokee/ Grand Cherokee/ Prado/ Fortuner

Can't say I'm bothered by a smooth ride daily. I have a little hot hatch sports car that I think they have forgotten to put suspension on!
Someone on my intro thread mentioned Jeep was a mistake as I always had a wrangler in mind as like the look. Thus this thread! Those Nissans xterra don't look so bad though.

I was teasing on that as we always argue between jeep and other cars.

Focus on the future, that's where your life is going. Focus on the past and you will go nowhere.

Genuinely thought I was being a spoon considering a wrangler!
Will enjoy chipping in when I have a bit of experience under my belt

Wrangler is a great car ofcourse, the best in the desert - But I always say, it is not a daily drive car. I have a Wrangler which I only take for offroad - you can do the same, buy an on road car and a Wrangler to enjoy in the desert
