Hey there. I did quite some research earlier this year when looking into buying one. What would you like to know?

Hi Doug and welcome aboard. :) How long did you have your TJ for before you switched to the JK? And what do you think after comparing the two different Jeeps?

Thank you everyone for your opinions, this will be the final social post regarding this matter. As so many people now are closing their businesses and losing their livelihood, if you as a responsible business can comply with the guidelines then you will make every effort to forge on.
We have received clarification from our local Federal Member, this is part of that reply. the Premier has advised ALL camping areas within Queensland national parks, state forests and recreation areas to close as of 26 March 2020 until further notice. People who have booked a camping permit will be contacted directly about how to obtain a refund for their booking.
In addition they advised, it should be noted that Four-wheel drive trails, mountain bike trails, walking tracks and trails, bushwalks and national park coastal walks, remain open. People who are visiting these areas and taking part in recreation activities in national parks and other areas, should continue to follow the Queensland Health advice about not travelling outside of their local area and for public gatherings and social distancing.
At this stage there is no direction regarding closure of privately owned camp grounds, businesses need to comply with the public gatherings and social distancing guidelines at this time. We have and will continue to do this.

Hey Josh. Any updates on your buying decision? Did you go for the Prado or the Jeep? Have you done any test driving? Whether you're in the area (South of Brisbane) you could come for a test drive in my JKU. :)

Hey there. First of all, NICE TJ. 35s on that wheelbase look so massive! :)
I've got a Wrangler JKU 2012 (Pentastar, 5-Gear Auto, 3.73 axle gear ratio, 2.5" lift) and I had 315x70R17 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ. I got about 13-14 L/100km around town, about 11.8L/100km on the high way and offroad up to 17 L/100km. Now with a roof rack I lost about 1L/100km.
Hope that helps. Can't wait to see what you are going with. Both will be fine :)
