[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 1553976, member: 16101"] So... the other thread caused me to reminisce. And that led to this thought; What is the future of four wheeling? And I don't need any doomsayer to prophesize that the future is trail closures. What I want to hear is what do you think will be the vehicles out wheeling in the future. But before we get too far along, let's look at the past. First we had WW2 army jeeps, and their civilian counterparts the CJ2s and CJ3s. Followed by the CJ5s (and M38s) the old Ford Broncos, the Scouts, the Nissan Patrols, the Toyota FJ40s and whatnots. After the mini-truck explosion, we had Toyota Hilux and Pickups, and they were followed by Suzuki Sami. Then came the game changer of all time; the Jeep YJ. The YJ was massively popular (far more than any earlier 4x) and allowed far more people to enter the trails. Somewhere around twenty years ago, the first of the tube-chassis buggies started being built. About that same time, the Jeep TJ redefined off-roading, with civilian manners, and extremely easy to modify. So what's next? I'll post my opinion later on in this thread. [/QUOTE]
