what would you choose for an off-road rig?

I chose this. Gone wheeling three times this week already...and I bought it last Tuesday! So far. so good!

 

awesome another toy/zuki owner on the board!!

 

see another sammy.they are the best for wheeling cheap

 

My friend had one of those, the odometer was stuck at 464,000 miles

 

funny how that goes huh.... I was looking for a 4Runner like yours when I bought my truck.

 

Get a ZJ with a 4.0. Engine is bullet proof. A great mod community out there and they are kick ass. I love mine.

Not mine, but you'll get the idea.

Dream Vehicle, probably pretty impractical to find parts and what not, and it would be tough to wheel a 40K + (used) vehicle...but if I had the coin...these defenders are bad ass.

 

A buddy of mine just bought one for $13k and it's bad ass. But it's going to need some refurbishing.



The thing is, comparing stock vehicles, I think the Tacoma's are at least as capable, given the bells and whistles that they have (locker, etc.). As it turns out, in fact, given the choice, I got another Tacoma.

 

I don't see a price anywhere. How much our those icon's

 

Thinking about gettin this for a project.

What do you all think!?!?

 

I just got to get the wife on board.

That rig is actually a friend of a friend. My buddy saw it in person and said it look alot cleaner. Pictures don't do it justice. I am going to go look at it some time next week.

 

Thanks for advice

 

Holy crap! I've got to give it to them they make some beautiful machines but a 100 grand is steep imo.

 

AEV J8 is a worthy contender. It certainly has some cool features.

It needs rockwell axles & an Atlas transfer case.

 

me to. Such a cool concept.

 

Went to look, no go. Way to much work for me!!!!! Great buy for those that have the time and money

 

I love AEV. The brute was on the show dangerous drives on the speed channel. It was Sick!!!
