2000's-Rubicon
Solid Axles, Lockers, decent sized tires out of the box
1990's-Land Rover Discovery
Solid Axles, Lockers, coil springs, V-8 engine, no low hanging stuff underneath
1980's-S10 Blazer
Yeah it's IFS but posi front&rear, decent flex for what it is, gear ratios from hell, full skids and good power/weight ratio. piss poor departure angle tho
1970's-Cherokee Chief
401 V-8, wide track width, long WB, solid axles, available trac-lok, good ground clearance and quadra-trac which is comparable to the 242's seen on XJ's
 
1985XJLaredo-Have you ever driven either of the trucks you posted?

I was in the military for the better part of my life and I've driven just about every Jeep enlisted, lastly being the M38A1 if I remember correctly, but before the 1st Gulf War my unit was one of the first to recieve the M1037 or Humvee and I was disapointed. When driven thru the very same mudholes or sand pits we took the Jeeps thru on countless ocasions the Humvees got stuck more often than not and it was kinda scary in Iraq. I do give them this tho, they do keep the elements out a hell of alot better they are nice for water crossings where there's not so much mud and they have better heaters.

I love those old S10 Blazers. I had a few of them and you just can't kill them. I've never had a vehicle that can take a beating like they can and just keep coming back for more. Plus, they last 300K+ miles if you halfway take care of them. Both of mine had nearly 300K miles on them when I sold them and I abused the shit out of them. I took pretty good care of them mechanically and appearance wise, but they had a HARD life. They were in remarkably good shape when I sold them.

They do wheel pretty good. One was 2wd and the stuff it would make it through really surprised a lot of people. :D
