Why? Much like JB I often look at my pile of parts. Is it wicked fun at Alto? Hell Yes, but for serious rock crawling like Katemcy, Clayton, etc... it will never compete with a lighter truck or buggy. Also full sizes will always require more maintenance than a smaller vehicle due to weight. Look at Cook's rig, look at all the odd problems he has had because of the weight associated with a full size. Seriously, sometimes I want to stab BDR in his cherokee, it does pretty much everythin JB and I's rigs do, but it has a full cab and A/C... I love JB's rig and I love the Klogger because of the image, a Bronco, a Crew Cab, etc... but at the end of the day it is not the best base to start with.
I'll give you your 78/79 is holding up well, but at the end of the day, some d-bag with dana 44's and a toyota is going to crawl past you.
