what would you choose for an off-road rig?

+84

 

Unimog!

 

i miss my 86 4 runner with MT 33s and a small block 350 wasnt pretty but it could mob on the sand and mud. was going to put dana 44 under it but sold it for a focus then when that stupidity left me i bought my 06 then 09 tacoma

 

after my last trip... one of these

 

Sweet! More pics! Year? Specs?

 

samurais are the best.you cant go wrong with them

 

My dad used to have one of these and it was awesome! 1968 ford bronco.

This isnt his by the way, just one I found with google.

edit: got rid of HUGE pic lol

 

money no object. early Cj7, or an early bronco.

on the cheap...samarai.

 

we all had them in high school( many many moons ago) and we beat the crap out of them and they kept going.they were cheap back than.$7k new. they fit anywhere a quad fit and a truck didnt.

 

My dream since I was 13 years old was an Early Bronco. I found this 1971 Early Bronco and it was completely rebuilt from ground up. It had Ford 351 w/ a 4-barrel and 4-speed with Dana 44's. So I took my tires and wheels off my '99 Dodge. So far so good my dream was coming true.

Then the dumbest thing I could ever do ------ I painted the damn thing and ruined it for its intended purpose. All I could do after that was sell it to some guy in Houston for a street machine.

 

x2 Nice buy

 

I had a '99 Cherokee that was crazy capable. That thing would go anywhere I pointed it. And I liked the solid front axle.

 

99 Cherokee are sick. Sux they got rid of them for the fugly liberty

 

its a fukn sin the killed the inline 6 for all jeeps and put the crappy 3.7 v6

 

My previous was a 2000 cherokee xj. 4.6 stroker lifted with 33's

thats what i would get for a rig. cheap to find, easy to work on, easy to lift, mod etc. reliable and tough.

btw they are not unibodies, they are uniframes. there is a difference, its a bit stiffer than a unibody, but obviously not like a full frame..but i never had a problem with the body flex, the suspension is so flexible it didnt really seem to matter that much other than maybe the steering box mounting is pretty weak, but thats an easy and cheap fix to brace.

they are tough, i cant believe the places i could take it even when it was open dif on crappy tires.

 

Your 07 is my fav TW truck, now you throw this at me...jealous! Awesome buy, look forward to its progress. A guy at my office has a nice one about the same year as yours. I already told him to let me know when he wants to sell it. I hope it is tomorrow...lol

 

Awesome find Silverback!

I've already determined that once it starts gettin warm up here, I'm on the hunt for a 84/85 4Runner. I'll probably have to go a ways to find one (I would like one without any rust or anything, so I'll mainly be looking south and west)...but summers about road trips aint it?!

 

One for each rig.
