Hopefully will be able to get there for the meeting. Have a friend that just moved back to town and he wants to get rid of his 2wd Explorer but needs something big enough for the fam (6 all together). Trying to talk him into an older 80 or 100 but he does not have a lot to work with. He USED to be a Jeep guy, trying to keep him away from that this time through!

Way to go Greg. Keep him away from the Jeeps. The reliability of those vehicles is poor. Toyota far surpasses them in all categories-except maybe in gas mileage.

 

[gregnash]

Yeah, that is what I am trying to do. Like I said, main thing is that he needs something that is comparable in size to his explorer with the third row seats (think it is like a 2005) and he is now a state worker and ex-military so he has somewhat limited funds while they try to find a house and what not. He loves my 60 but realizes that it is just not quite big enough for the fam and also the lack of "safety features" since his oldest is only 11. That is why I am thinking like a FZJ80 or early UZJ100 (I am guessing his budget with the explorer sold will be around $10k). I did see a 40th anniversary FZJ pop up on CL last night but he is not ready to buy quite yet (damn adult responsibilities).
