Toyota, give the world a little offroader

Met this smart kid on the trail that had just purchased a 2024 Willys. Smart because he went for a simple not too expensive Jeep. 285/70/R17 mudterrains, rear locker, Dana44s front and rear, 4.10, BLD(Jeep's A-Trac equivalent), plain 3.6L Pentastar V6, and 8 spd automatic. His only mod, a cheap $150 swaybar disconnect.

Look at that elegant flex, mouth watering stuff! Come on Toyota, give us a little thing like this, a better built Jeep. Bring the FJ40 back, please! The doors and top don't have to come off, I just want a short wheelbase double solid axle little offroader from Toyota. They will sell like hotcakes.

Ha!

 

That TJ on 39s?

 

I was trying to get this thing. And move the thread to where?

 

Closer to 40, giant tires.

 

40×13.50r17

 

Soon

 

Probably served enough by the 2-door Wrangler and Bronco already - but on a similar note I see a 2-door RAV4 occasionally and it’s always cute to see.

There was a house I’d pass by every so often back in Virginia that had three 2-door RAV4’s and a more common four door parked in front - all first gen’s. Clearly an individual of refined taste!

Now I’m wondering what the take rate for 2 doors are. Heard of Bronco owners complaining about the 2-doors shrunken tank.

 

2 door Bronco is not small enough.
