There are some beautiful examples hitting the market as the Bronco looks good and some of the G wagons come down in costs.

I would also look a G wagon, at least consider it. Triple locking differentials, very solid MS build quality.

Check out my site offroadrover.com

These are great, but pricing has gone insane vs a number of years ago. The triple locking diffs are not as great as you would expect.


Btw own a 2009 L322 Supercharged myself. IMO best mix of price/capability out there. The Supercharged (Autobiography included) all have rear locking diffs. In my experience the Terrain Response, mixed with a rear locking diff in most cases beats the G Wagon off-road in almost all cases. The G Wagon does not have the ground clearance and/or off-road angles to fully compete with L322 Supercharged or Rubicon off-road. The LR3/LR4 with rear locking diff is imo a nice option to fall between L322 and Rubicon. The LR3 has most flexibility other than Wranglers. You can find snorkels, and lift kits along with winches for the LR3. The LR4 and L322 Supercharged though good luck.

I placed a set of Terra Grappler G2s on my L322 Supercharged and it gets most anywhere on any trail it can fit width wise. G Wagon though build quality is another level. I went with the compromise L322 of Ford electronics, BMW design, Jaguar engine. From my research and experience those 08-09 LRs are most reliable.
