There are plenty of people in the world, particularly in the US, who use CJs, FJ40s and Wranglers as their daily drivers, even though its not really the vehicle's natural application. Yes, nowadays for various reasons, its rather rare to meet the knuckleheads who still drive their jeeps on a daily basis, but they do exist!
Out here, its not easy or cheap to build or buy/restore a normal CJ or FJ and even more so to get one prepped for daily driving pleasure. Maintenance really varies with the quality of the build and can range from demanding to rewarding depending on the quality of work. You do end up getting to know workshops and mechanics well, one way or the other...
Look through "You know You Drive a Jeep When..." thread out here and if you still find yourself thinking about this, we can discuss further....
