Thanks guys. Pretty much stock at this point with Daystar 2" coil/strut spacer lift sitting on new 265/75/16 BF-Goodrich All-Terrains. It's got 170k on it right now and has been maintained pretty well. The PO even had the motor replaced so the antenna works. My plans for now are just go over...

Just wanted to drop in to say thank you for the suggestions and advice. I researched a ton thanks to this site and sites like it and looked at several rigs and finally settled on a 2002 Limited 4Runner. In the end I think it serves my purpose and skill set for being a solid DD and also capable...

Looked at a 62 today in pretty good condition, no rust, no issues that I could see, good tires, steering knuckles rebuilt recently, everything works and looks like it's been taken care of, but my only concern is the mileage. It's at 260k. Any of you guys that have replaced the motor or have...

Pretty true Jynx, I've made that mistake before. There's always the debate about what you SHOULD get and what you WANT to get. Thanks for the input. Found a couple clean, supposedly rust free stock 62's (although high mileage) I plan on checking out soon so I'll get a better idea of what I...

Thanks Roger, understood. I'm going to check around and see what I can find while determining what's the best option for me. Again guys, thanks for the feedback and advice. Any more info on the topic appreciated.

Thanks for the advice guys, really appreciated. So it sounds like if I gotta have a 60/62 (man I love the look of these) you recommend stock, or better yet for dual purpose a FJ80 (96-97) or 4Runner (3rd gen) may be a better choice for a dual purpose vehicle. If you guys see any of these for...

Thanks so much for the suggestions thus far. I guess I’m a sucker for those older models but also don’t want something that’s not a good fit for me so thanks for the FJ80 suggestion. Any advice on choosing a solid 80? I'll check out the 80 forums, while I've seen them around and read up on them...

Hey guys, hope it's okay to post here. Figured I'd post the question here since I'm in the Nashville area. Probably been asked/said before and if so I'd appreciate the link, although I searched with no luck. I've been looking at LC's for a while and also been reading these forums for a bit...
