The Land Cruiser crowd is large and proud group of owners. There are chapters and events all over the country.
Mine is much the same. It's a 2015 and it just turned 18,000 miles. I last changed the oil on 10/1/23, almost 3-1/2 months ago. I just checked the, "oil change meter", (or whatever they call it), yesterday, and it's been driven 283 miles since then. I keep it on a Noco Genius 1 Battery Tender.Yes.
My Jeep is a nice weather vehicle, sees less than 3000 miles a year. Every time I go to drive it after winter I have to think for a minute about why all these people are waving at me.
They can’t - cars have to stop where the road ends …People with cars are embarrassed to be driving with Jeeps.
Post the video !They have to promise not to cry when there Wrangler with $50K of aftermarket parts installed by some shop somewhere gets shown up by a 15 year old Xterra some guy improved with parts they made themselves.
Hence the reason Jeeps are never much liked, the arrogance.The Wrangler in the photo is a pretty stock looking TJ which would have no problems running with the modded Xterras it's lined up with. I own both , the Xterra is on loan to daughter. A highly modded Xterra can run with a mild Jeep. A stock Xterra gets left behind by a stock Wrangler. The IFS just holds the Xterra back. I like both but the Jeep is just better offroad. You would never see a blinged out mall crawler Jeep lined up for a trail run at Moab.
You're right but this photo isn't an example of it.
BMW CCA and PCA conduct all sorts of driving events (HPDEs, autocrosses, TSD rallies, etc.), tech sessions and social events.Depends on the group.
Packard Club does multi-day group tours including luxury accommodations, and fine dining. A annual banquet in SoCal. They look like great fun.
Mercedes Club has get togethers, including garage sessions in which more experienced members help diagnose and/or fix cars, and including nice day drives, or multi day tours.
Just because you haven’t heard of it, doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. Granted, Mercedes owners, and Packard owners, aren’t like Camry owners, but there are enthusiast groups outside of Jeeps and Motorcycles.
Thats pretty cool. I can't remember the last time I saw a fiero.I'm in the largest Fiero club in the country and we have several events each year; a Spring and a Fall driving event plus our annual show each September.
I think when you meet people that have common but unique interests, everything else becomes more interesting due to the common thread.My fishing buddy is in a Porche club - him/her go to out of state stuff with all they can cram into a 911 … Always excited to tell about the people and places - even more so than the cars …
Not sure why you’re making this a wrangler vs xterra thing. I own an 02 xterra and an 02 wrangler. Different vehicles and I like both of them. If you want to compare vehicles to seat 4 comfortably talk about gen 1 exterras and LJ wranglers or Gen 2 xterras and 4 door wranglers. There are plenty of examples on the boards and YouTube of idiots wheeling both. Your video is a gen 2 pro4-x so you should be comparing it to a 4 door wrangler rubicon. I don’t do groups so the stuff that bothers you doesn’t affect me. The whole duck thing the street jeeps do is idiotic but it’s their deal.Hence the reason Jeeps are never much liked, the arrogance.
Your the one who made it such. I commented that Nissan groups are welcoming of other brands, if someone would vouch for them, but other off road group brands don't reciprocate. To which you immediately replied with these, which essentially proved my point?Not sure why you’re making this a wrangler vs xterra thing. I own an 02 xterra and an 02 wrangler.

The Jeep likely has to promise to try very hard not to show up all the Nissan whatevers on the trail.

I rented the trail rated Cherokee - was surprisingly comfortable - and still kept it real with 4Lo in the mix of automated drive combo’s …Not sure why you’re making this a wrangler vs xterra thing.
