Why would anyone hate jeeps? That's like saying you hate girls or hate having extra money.
I have a 69 Gladiator. It has Dana 44's in both ends with 4.27 gears, Turbo 400 with the Dauntless V8 (350 Buick) and Dana 20 t-case. And I would trade in a heartbeat for a Blazer/Jimmy.
Nothing against the Kaiser, but Blazer/Jimmy is worth lots more $ in same condition.
