The TJ is the best Jeep yet. If it won't go there maybe a Unimog or something really serious, expensive, and unhighwayworthy is your best alternative. With a real engine (none of them ceramic things with wires hooked on in the cylinder head) and a fulltime 4WD case it'd really be something.

Or a CJ5.
The CJ-5 and the CJ-7 sheet metal are identical from the shifter forward. The floor and external sheet metal rearward from that point are different, especially so in the rear and tailgate. Likewise the running gear from the transfer case forward is identical but the rear propeller shaft is different.

That's pretty much it. That, and the differences associated with the longer wheelbase.
Somewhere I have my pic taken at the top of Test Hill at Silver Lake Dunes...
Nope, traffic is one way on the big hills, to avoid collisions with the ATV's buzzing around like flies. But it isn't as steep going down as going up. I'll be there next month, I will make sure to bring my camera. Care to join us?
Looks like Test Hill but not as tall, or as hot...

Unfortunately, except for Silver Lake and Drummond Island, there isn't much else as far as really challenging 4-wheeling in Michigan...
