Comparable jeep replacement
Got that pentastar tick getting it fixed but I would like a vehicle that will last without any major problems such as engine issues. I've had this rubicon for less than a year. What are some compairable vehicles out there. I've been looking at the Xterra, Tacoma, FJ and Frontier, My 1st car was a lifted 2001 pathfinder with 32's on it and it was very reliable but the pathfinder has become a crossover. I cannot get over how ugly the FJ cruiser is even if it is the closest thing out there to a jeep and I've been looking at other American trucks but the fact that they don't come in stick is a deal breaker. Any advice or should I just suck it up with the jeep and hope it doesn't break down the road
It's really been the only major problem with the >2012 wranglers.

In the last decade, I've owned a 2nd gen Xterra, 4th gen 4Runner, 5th gen 4Runner, Tacoma, 07 Tundra, and a TJ. The XTerra and both 4Runners were pretty capable off road, way better on road, more comfortable, and much quicker than a TJ, and most of that holds true relative to a JK. Having said that, none of those vehicles would go where a TJ or JK could. Also, the cost of modding a non-jeep can be significantly more expensive. I'll probably get a JKU and keep the 4Runner as well; Jeeps are just more fun.
There is some truth to the idea there is Jeep and the rest. It comes down to what you want and need.
