    Why are Craigslist sellers so flaky?

    Is it too much to ask to answer your damn email within 48 hours or pick up your f$%king phone or even set up your voicemail so I can leave a goddamn message? And can you take down your f$%king ad after your vehicle has sold so that I'm not wasting my time wading through sold goods? For crying...

    Looking for a reliable 4x4 for accessing backpacking trailheads

    Looking for a reliable 4x4 for accessing backpacking trailheads

    Awesome! I'm leaning towards the 4runner anyway. Now to find one... I'm vacationing at the Oregon Coast this week... will be back on Sunday and maybe, fire up CL to see what's available. I'm going to Costa Rica for 2 weeks on July 3, so might realistically have to wait until I get back. And...

    Moving to CO! Looking for a drafting job!

    Second that. Being in the PNW, there aren't to many other places I'd rather live in, but the Mountain West is something I would definitely consider.

    Looking for a reliable 4x4 for accessing backpacking trailheads

    Just trying to benchmark price vs. age/mileage. I'm the kind of guy who plots price of various CL offerings over a few months on a graph to estimate a general idea of the price band and what would be an outlier in my favor :) This is a bit above my admittedly arbitrary budget of 5K, but I...

    Looking for a reliable 4x4 for accessing backpacking trailheads

    Thanks for the post, guys, especially KidV. That was great! I like the Trooper but am definitely worried about not getting spare parts. Well, I got some more ideas from this thread, so I'll keep looking. No big hurry here - will try to get something before the fall, as I am going to be in...

    Looking for a reliable 4x4 for accessing backpacking trailheads

    Thanks man, appreciate the help! If you see something worth pursuing in CL or wherever, feel free to PM me! I was astonished at the prices of the Explorers, for example. Granted, these may not be the typical offroading vehicles but for my use case, they may be sufficient. But there must a...

    Greeting, just joined!

    Thanks! I made a thread in the 3rd gen forum about what I'm considering. Budget is about $5K. Looking at 3rd gen, 91-94 XJs, and also 91-2000 Explorers, as well as Isuzu Troopers. Hopefully I can find a nice 4Runner! Trails I want to access are in the Mt Adams wilderness, or in the Alvord...

    Looking for a reliable 4x4 for accessing backpacking trailheads

    All right guys, newb here, making my first posting in the newb forum, so go easy! I've been trying to push my comfort level a bit in terms of backpacking trails and I'm thinking more and more of trails that are at the terminus of dirt roads that either require more clearance, or can...

    Greeting, just joined!

    Not a Toyota owner (yet)... looking for my 1st 4x4 to get me to some backpacking trails that are off limits to my passenger car, and wondering if a 4Runner is in my future! :) Hope to hang out here, learn more about the 4Runner and perhaps get some advice on a purchase. Thanks!
