Ok, another hypothetical question... just because it's fun.
If you had $75,000 to spend on a rig and mods, what would you build?
And... go!

I think my dream rig would change depending on where I planned to take it. I'll go away from what I think most folks are gonna say, my rig would be a teardrop style trailer. Full off road suspension, standalone battery system with solar, freshwater reserves, onboard toilet, internal and RTT sleeping, awning, built in shower...
Basically any one of the high end expo trailers you see online but with a dedicated bathroom (a must have for the wife). Then I would tow it with a diesel Jeep or Ranger.

I think id stick with an xterra id use the money to learn more about auto repair and maintenance. Also how to weld and other useful skills to build the rig up. I have always wanted to do a trailer build too. There are a lot of great manufactures and fabricators out there, but doing something myself the way i imagine it is rewarding beyond the item itself.

I like the idea of staying small (no Earth Roamers), so you can get into the places no one else can. Everyone agrees that cargo weight is an issue. Instead of dividing the weight by four, what if you could divided by six? Even though $75,000 would not cover it, this is my "Available in the U.S." dream rig...

I was gonna say that, but 75k may not get it done...

I'm gonna have to go with my oldies. I'd jump to a Willys Wagon with a diesel conversion, probably put 44's and disc brakes under it for parts and reliability. Put a tear drop with an RTT on the top of it and I'd be set for the family to go on an adventure with me.

I would probably build up a new 4Runner and pick up some crazy adventure trailer.
And with the other $20K I would finish my damn cabin in Vermont!
