Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
In addition to the two-part, detachable segment roof, the bonnet, rear door and all four side doors open. It goes without saying that the vehicle provides enough space on the inside for four Bruder bworld figures. Alternatively, the rear seat can be removed to create space for accessories compatible with Bruder standard connectors. The additional drag link is intended to facilitate steering through the roof hatch and if it is not required, it can be stored in the vehicle underbody.

What's the best BIFL item you own?
2003 Jeep Wrangler TJ 6 cylinder 4.0L. I dont know how or why its still kicking, even though the a/c is out and the transmission slips sometimes, but 250000 miles later, best tank i ever purchased. And no, I dont have ducks.

Name your top 5 BIFL items
Some of these have been mentioned already, but repeats are worthwhile when they’re this good! 1. All Clad pots. I use them daily and with a little barkeepers friend they still look good as new. 2. My grandfather’s cutco knives. They’ve got to be 60 years old now? I don’t even get them sharpened, and I use them every single day. 3. My cutco garden pruners. I was going through crap pairs all the time. Dull, breaking, etc. These things are so durable. I love them more than anyone should love garden pruners. 😂 4. My aunt’s gold hoop earrings. I inherited them, and they’ll never go out of style. 5. Vitamix. Going strong for about 15 years now. 6. Bonus. My old Jeep wrangler. 26 years and still kicking.

In an age of things designed to be replaced, what currently-produced 1) trucks, and 2) cars come closest to BIFL?
Realistically, we're in a period where technology being added, and replaced with new and "better" versions are coming at a very high rate. Even Toyota, often praised for long life is having issues with there new lineup. Cars just have a lot more "Stuff" on them now, safety, accessibility, creature comfort, "brains." And even if all of that is well made (which can be a big if in itself) there is just a lot more of it. A 95 Tacoma has a lot less things that \*could\* break than a 25 Tacoma does, and there are more of those "things" on the 25 that are critical to the vehicle. My general rule of thumb (and I've been a car dealer for 30 years) for a newer personal vehicle (often my wifes) that we intend to keep long term (10'ish years generally) is to buy something that isn't on it's first year revision... something relatively simple (not a tesla or a truck with a 20" ipad in the dash) something that shares a decent number of parts with other vehicles (so that in 4 years you aren't going to be looking for part that has been discontinued and was only produced for 6 months for this one specific model) and maybe most importantly for me... something with a following. So Wranglers, Tacomas, etc... a vehicle with a fanbase of Youtube Mechanics, so that when something does (and it will) fail it's likely somebody has already had to deal with it and has posted the hurdles and tricks they found to fix it. At auto dealer auction the vehicle I see most commonly with over 300k miles is a prius. Ymmv
