    I know but it also takes my wallet for a while. A RTT isn't the most practical tent for me since it does get rid of the use of my roof rack for surfboards. The only way I see myself getting one would be with a trailer and that would blow my budget and then some. One day, I may learn to weld and make one, but it's too much overkill for my needs.

    Looking at the Ozark that @dtaco06 recommended and it looks pretty rock on for the price. I'd do the 4 person instead of 6 but it should definitely suit my needs for the time being.

    Either looking at 08-09 GX, any V8 4th or an early 5th.

    Just get one of those tents you can throw on the ground and pops up for you. Get two cause they're one manners. They're like ten bucks.

    The Ozark is $60 for 4 people and is a minute set up. Looks crazy easy

    I hated them with a passion when I was looking for new runners, but now I really like the way they look with a satoshi grill and a lift.

    I like both looks. The newer look is definitely more agressive but I've seen some nice builds on the boxier look.

    Seems like there are more high clearance bumper options for the newer front end

    @dtaco06 said he has the 6 person version and loves it. 4 person is just more practical for my use. If you youtube Ozark 4 (or 6) person instant dome tent, you'll see how easy it looks

    Haha I'm good. I'd rather drop a V8 in the runner someday. Worst thing toyota has done is eliminated the V8 4Runner.

    I could definitely see myself dropping a 2UZ in mine down the road. There's a guy on T4R in NC that has done a few. Would need a 2" body lift for clearance issues but 35s would make up for it.

    Would need to do tons of research on V8 vs diesel too

    Doesn't the new 4.0 have more power than the 4.7?
