I have a '97 that I bought with just over 100k on it and I just blew a head gasket at 254k miles. It's a limited with the locker in back and other than height I have no complaints. I've taken it places that make people scratch their head.

I too would NOT recommend the FJ. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

I recently bought a used Jeep JK Unlimited Rubicon and again except for the ride height it's great. Lockers front and rear, sway disconnect, shut off traction control if you want. Rear seat folds flat. TONS of aftermarket support. I will probably put an aluminum V8 in mine when I get my wife a new rig and it becomes my primary.
