Remove the fiberglass top and you have open air wheeling.Get one that is an SR5 & you also get a sunroof, even open-er air. 
Here is one for $2,500 already lifted, all you need is lockers, gears & a plane ticket

I am a jeep wrangler guy for off-road but this would be my choice if I was doing another off-road vehicle. Of the two options you mention I would go with the FJ. Straight axles are the only way to go for harder technical trails. You can do solid axle if you have the ability and/or resources, but I would rather have a vehicle with it from the start.
I highlighted is what set the 4Runner apart from other off road vehicles, for me anyway.
