I'm good driving older stuff due to that alone... now the kill switch they plan to mandate by 2026 is a real deal breaker. Please don't feed the trolls!

While I'm not sure it's exactly something I'd want again because if the rust issues, I had the 2nd one of these in the south valley here, back in the day when every pickup wasn't a 4x4 and the Japanese had just begun to make them. It's an '80 and still had the 20R in it in this photo. By the time this one was taken on what was then the Queen Charlottes, now called Haida Gwaii, it had been partially repainted a couple times and I'd put a 22R into it, which I thought was a much better engine both for power and fuel consumption. It was by far the best bush truck we've ever had and we bashed it all over 4 western provinces and a couple states too, but as noted by others, it wasn't a great rig for trips. While I'm cognizant you've stipulated trucks, I'm currently wheeling and dealing on one of these - '87 Cherokee 2 door - from it's second owner. It's not that one, but it's in decent shape with original paint, no rust and I know the entire history from purchase. It'd be just a hunting rig for me again - we'll see. Thanks for the thread and thanks to all who've put up their favorites. All the best. Dwayne Last edited by BC30cal; 12/04/23. The most important stuff in life isn't "stuff"
