I've been wheeling and drove a brute for quite some time. It is very cramped and I would not recommend one."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

you can't have the seat much further past vertical, and only like a few clicks back. It's terrible.Originally posted by Pokulski-Blatz View PostOne of you is like two and a half of me.

Sliding seat rails? If so I imagine it wouldn't be awful for someone with shorter legs. Shit, I thought that little white Jeep I had had enough interior room, I remember you in it. You seemed a bit .... cramped.Originally posted by CJ View Postyou can't have the seat much further past vertical, and only like a few clicks back. It's terrible.

In a TJ I'm fine with the seat all the way back. I cut and welded my rails back another few inches so my knees didn't smash into the dash when I was wheeling. But on the brute I was in, the seat was much closer, and it was against the hardtop, you couldn't do much about it. Add in a cage, and you have even less room.Originally posted by Pokulski-Blatz View PostSliding seat rails? If so I imagine it wouldn't be awful for someone with shorter legs.

XJ's are cheap, that's pretty much what they have going for them. If you were going to make an LJ into a truck, I would just suggest you don't cut so much material off when you're glassing your hardtop. Easy fix.Originally posted by Pokulski-Blatz View PostGross, I guess I will continue to fantasize about it. If I were to buy another Jeep it would be another XJ, I just cant ignore the functionality you get."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

For a broke mother fucker like myself, that is perfect.Originally posted by CJ View PostXJ's are cheap, that's pretty much what they have going for them.

The thing that keeps me from seriously considering a LJ is cost. I just cant get past that $15k price. I would have to make it my primary daily to even consider, then the gas mileage just wouldn't justify it. I toyed around with the idea of selling my Tacoma and buying a nice Comanche and some sort of late model econo box. Honestly though, I think the XJ fits my needs much more closely than any other option other than selling the Tacoma and buying a 4X4 version.
I think something like this with lowish mileage is in my future. Minus the roof rack ... Hate those things.
