My brother is in the market for a wheeler, and wants to buy a Jeep. I want to sway his opinion in favor of a Yota, so help me out! Should he get Yota or Jeep?:P

yup! im a big fan of toyotas. I personally think they are more solid offroad and more capable with less modding. he ultimately bought a built 87 jeep YJ yesterday which is fine because he sold me his clean 2nd gen 4runner, so im not complaining hehe.

Toyota is most definitely the superior choice!

Having owned both:

Wranglers are more fun (convertible), superior off-road, and aftermarket mods are more abundant and cheaper.

4runners are roomier, more comfortable, more reliable, and get better gas-milage. And still can do decent off-road.

If at least he would have went with a TJ. With a YJ he went backwards I think.

Having owned a yj, the jeep was nicer on the road.

Both capable offroad, but my 87 runner has a rear locker which made a massive difference. I found the 4hi in the runner to feel better that the jeeps but, my final choice would be the 1st gen runner.

Even with ifs and absolutely no rock experience, I was able to complete 3 blacks at rausch creek. The runner constantly surprises me.

Ive had 2 TJ Wranglers, and 2 3rd Gen Runners... I think Toyota is more solid and comfortable overall. The top doesnt come off, is the only downside.

on the trails his YJ does fine but its pretty built ( 6inch lift, 33'' MTs, locked axles, winch, etc) and one of my second gens (which is fully stock) can still keep up with him.. makes me wonder if it was worth it. hes had it for a couple months now and he has been face down fixing something on it nearly every weekend. he says he hates it so much and wishes he got a yota instead haha. Oh well. What i like about runners is that you can pretty much daily drive them and wheel em too. Dailying a carbed Heep isnt comfortable at all.

^^^^ Yeah On my third Toy, first two were Tacos, now a 4runner. All around it's the most versatile machine. DD, hauling, camping, wheeling. Does it all! When I'm out by myself I love being able to sleep in the back.

Unles you were willing to buy two vehicles, the 4runner or a Taco seem like the obvious choices to cover all the bases.

Versatile is right. Took my rig on a hunting trip a little while back and it was perfect. Hauled an 800lb quad on a trailer, full of camping/hunting gear in the back of the truck on a 9hr drive to Oregon. It was perfect. I folded down the back seats and it was better than sleeping in a tent
