Now you are at 400K already - Much rather get a Fortuner! There used to be a saying "You upgrade to a Rubicon". It's been a long time since I heard that!
A Fortuner? :erm:

Yeah... If you followed the thread, I said earlier that the 3.7L is not that good and that is why I would go for the Wrangler Rubicon 3.6L for a few grand more. I will also add a lift kit, bigger tyres and then I will drive over your Scooby... Haha. Just kidding
And I agree it's not that good! I think the FJ is also around R400K. We'll have to hear from the OP but I doubt he'd be looking at this model if he could afford the Rubicon. End of the day I would not recommend the regular Cherokee, would you (which is what he asked)?

I don't like the face of the new one - too much chrome. There's a reason they are one of the top sellers though. One of my good friends has a fortuner that he modded a bit and that thing goes over everything! They were in a head on collision recently (driver fell asleep at the wheel), the other car was a write off. They only had to replace the bumper and bonnet on the Fortuner

Jeep Cherokee 3.7L Limited... R399k (OP's choice)
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 3.6L Sahara... R404k (price not much of a stretch, but superior capabilities)
Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 3.6L Rubicon... R425k (price a bit of a stretch, but even more capability)
Now, your FJ and 4tuna 4x4 starts at about R460k.

Thanks. Yes, I have the "softie"... It is also better and cheaper than most other softroaders with the same specs.

Better depends on what you want to do with it. Which is where we need the OP to pitch in.

Buy a Fortuner if you want it stolen. We had 8 stolen in 30 minutes in PTA one weekend.
Trying to stay away from the fortuner. Insurance company also did mention that it's high risk. Premiums are higher

They break out one of the side repeaters and short the wiring out which blows the fuse that the alarm is connected to, replace the computer box with their own one to which they have the corresponding immobilizer fob and drive off.
