    Very nice trucks and tastefully done! If I lived in Utah I would probably spend a bit more and go wheeling whenever I could. Sadly, here in the flatlands you have to drive 2-4 hours to get to two parks. Hard to invest a lot of money when that is the case.

    I was looking for an FZJ80....they are extremely hard to find. The ones that were for sale, they wanted 8K on average for them, same with the 4 runners :( earlier pickup trucks are non-existent. Toyotas must be more plentiful out your way? I ended up picking the jeep up for 4K...which was pretty decently priced for around here. It's not too bad a shape. right now I have been using it as a second car to the tundra. Probably start with a 3" lift and 32s. I'm so poor right now I can't even afford that :(

    Just gotta be willing to travel. I live in Utah and even though I found some FZJ80's locally, they weren't the right ones. The one I ended up buying was in Houston. Flew down with my wife and drove it back over two days. We've had the truck for almost 10 years and 150K miles and its been great.
