If you didn't have a 4runner...

Imported Nissan Patrol. Like a 4runner’s Pen Pal in the UAE

This one is up for sale in Canada. But it is too young to import into the US.

The more I learn about 4WD's the more I realise how screwed over we are in N America. 4runners are fun, but they aren't reliable overland vehicles, they aren't made for that. At least in Canada we have the 15 year old rule, not 25. Look what they have for sale in Gibraltar. The ultimate 4WD truck. Fully manual, roll up windows, 1HZ engine.

Probably would be content with my current little project. 02 Forester, lifted on 31" MTs.

Easy, c123 merc diesel wagon. Lifted with some tires and a roof rack. Mad max meets classyyy. In white and 30 mpg. Yeah
 
I'll play.

Since my 4R is not my DD and is my "beater", I'd probably get a land cruiser. If I didn't want to spend a bunch of money, I'd buy another ZJ.

I spent $600 bucks for my 95zj and it was one of the most reliable vehicles I've owned. 8 years later I sold it for $600. A couple weeks ago I saw it for sale again with 312k miles on it and it still runs good.
 
Probably a 2001-present tacoma 4wd trd 3" lift and 33s. Or any year tundra trd 4wd 3" lift 35s
Or maybe an fj cruiser

I really like the idea of a land cruiser at some point. Too bad they have become a commodity $$$ before I could get one haha

I know they're half plastic and have terrible residual value but I would have to get a Pro-4X Xterra

I am thinking of an 80 or 100 series LC. Seriously a dream vehicle that may become a reality in the next couple of years.
 
Realistically speaking I'd probably just stick with my good ole reliable Ford Ranger. (Still have it actually, 400K miles and still going strong).

Stupid cheap and easy to fix, good aftermarket. Just wish they made a true 4door in the USA...

Taco/Tundra/Newer F150/Landcruiser would also come into mind...
 
Anybody keen on the Sequoia?

Yes, we were talking about them in another thread.
I seemed to be one of the few that was keen on them.
06-07 with low miles looks to be a steal compared to other Yota's
Cheaper than a V8 4th gen T4R, Tundra & Taco & more interior room than a LC. Rust is becoming an annoying battle on my T4R so I might p/u a Sequoia as a winter beater & keep the 3rd gen as a spring-summer-fall vehicle.
 
I see the only downside to the Sequoia would be gas mileage, especially after building one. Hey, who cares though! V8, 4wd what is not to love?

Land Cruiser Series 70 Pickup Double Cabin

Toyota Tanzania Ltd.: Land Cruiser 70 Pickup Double Cabin

A Tacoma and a 4Runner in a Land Cruiser package.

4.2 liter, 6-cyl, N/A diesel. 5 speed! Lockers F & R.

Torque peak is at 2200 rpm. Not much higher than a cold 5VZ-FE's idle.

http://www.toyota.co.tz/fileadmin/d...nd_Cruiser_70_Series_Pick_Up_Double_Cabin.pdf

Note also the 130 liter fuel tank. In freedom units, that's over 34 gallons.

I expect that for this vehicle, the Forum thread "What have you done to your Double Cab today" only contains entries like "Checked the tire pressures".

Probably some sort of sprinter van for extended climbing road trips.
Picture googled from the internet.
