Yeah as a jeep owner I agree. Even after 37 years my jeep + many others run great. Can go to Matara and back with 2000 diesel. can go at great speeds. Amazing reliability [ not found in Land rovers + defenders]. Any mechanic can repair it and infact many repairs can be done by onself. Many engine and brake/clutch parts are the same that are for pajero. so easy to find.
Amazing vehicle and can buy cheap too.
