    Xj vs Zj vs 4 Runner

    As I've thought about it more, I've realized that the pickup will just be a little to obvious. It definitely would be the most comfortable though What do you mean about welding the boxes? My sisters talking about maybe getting a travel vehicle, so, if she does, I can have a little more fun with...

    Xj vs Zj vs 4 Runner

    Thanks for the clarification. It seems like I should be able to get close to 20 mpg on trips. On past trips in my Ram 2500 with a 360, I've gotten 14.5-15, so I'd think with the same driving habits and a much lighter vehicle, I should do ok. That's surprising to me how little your 7" lift and...

    Thanks for all of the help guys! Really appreciating it. At this point I think I'll just keep my eye out for a good deal, and get whatever seems like it will work the best. Regarding MPG, I'm referencing strictly highway driving. Not sure if you still think those numbers are optimistic? Going to...

    Thanks again for all of your advice! I really appreciate it! Cracks me up about your seat moter quiting in your Toyota. Nice rigs! I've enjoyed looking at all the pics you guys have posted! The more I think about it, the less I think camping in the back of my pickup will work. I just think it...

    Xj vs Zj vs 4 Runner

    Wow guys, thanks so much for all the info! I really appreciate it! Sorry for not responding sooner, had a busy last few days. I think in my original description of what I am looking for I might have overstated the amount of offroading this vehicle will see. It's not going to be much at all...

    Xj vs Zj vs 4 Runner

    Thanks a TON for all of your detailed responses! I really appreciate you all taken the time to share your experiences. I'm going to add the WJ to my search list then. They don't sound like they're something to be dreaded. I'm planning to keep whatever I get stock height and tire size to...

    Xj vs Zj vs 4 Runner

    Not sure, wasn't purposeful, lol. I've heard some bad things about the 4.7, idk if it's true or not. I would definitely consider one. How do they do on fuel? Some of them had the 4.0, right? Do you think that would be a better option for my use case? Thanks!

    Hmmm, I probably won't lift whatever I do get, but I would throw some slightly bigger tires on it. That's been my delima, maybe I should run what I have.

    Xj vs Zj vs 4 Runner

    Hey guys, not sure if this is technically overlanding, sorry if it's not, but I figured you guys might have some applicable knowledge for me. I'd like to do some ~1,000 mile round trips this summer and stay in my vehicle kinda incognito. My parents have a 5 speed Previa that they do this in...
