I'll mention this again. ford explorers came with an option in. the 302cu in v8. The power train is bullet proof. I can't say the same for the 4.0 OHV or DOHC v6's. Again I'm not saying one is better than the other and like stated before they are too different to compare. Both have their pros and cons. Lets just drop this discussion already.

comparing modified vehicles to modified vehicles is kind of silly. how capable an xj or explorer is off road really depends on how much money you put into it. now, how they start off is another story - but then again a completely stock xj or explorer aren't exactly rock crawlers, it just depends on which one is a better platform to begin with. so there's that...

All in all, I love my Cherokee. But Id still love to grab my grandfathers Toyota off of him.

My 89 died. Haha. My 90 is still running strong though.
