2006 sport v6 or 2005 sport v8

Thanks guys, looked at th 05 v8 4wd and it was a piece of ****e, didn't even bother. Drove the 2006 v6 and it was in great shape, great color, but the v6 was a little more buzy, I really want the v8. Now I just have to find one that's not beat to hell. Where are all the 4wd v8s!!!!!

We are all holding on to them since Toyota decided to not sell 4Runners with them anymore. :(

I think I'll have mine for a long long time.
 
I probably sound like a jerk, but I think the idea of a 2WD '4'Runner is just dumb and would never buy one. I'd just get a minivan or a station wagon. :)

Personal opinion. Flame away if you wish, but that's just my honest opinion.

But I don't think the idea of a 2wd Jeep makes any sense either. :)

That said, buy whatever floats your boat man. :)
 
No worries boondoggle, I totally understand, I have a 4wd v8 grand Cherokee now and when I got the vehicle wouldnt even look at a 2wd because where I'm originally from (Virginia) you had to have 4wd for the snow. Now after living in so cal for 7 years now there is no bad weather, I even go to the desert to play offload but never need 4wd. It's tough as hell to even find a 4wd 4runner now and I'm open to having 2wd. I've searched the forum numerouse times and most say 2wd is just fine for 90% of situations, just have to use momentum. :)

So today I'm off looking and test driving more vehicles. Thanks everyone, I'll keep you posted.
 
I didn't even know they made Jeep Wranglers in 2WD, but they do. Odd, huh? Anyway, the only reason I am still holding on to the 4R is the V8, so you know which way I would vote. I actually prefer it to be in AWD all the time. Mine has about 80,000 miles. I have no complaints, except I wish the seat base was a bit longer. I doubt I will sell it. I do not enjoy driving the V6 as much, though I would still very happily own one....way better option than a Pathfinder or Grand Cherokee. You also get 1-2 MPG more on the V6. That 2 MPG on the highway is nice to have.
 
One of my favorite off-road vehicles is the LR V8 Defender. I keep lusting after that If I ever sold my Jeep, that would be the next exploration 4x4. I'd prob keep the 4R though...forever.
