Thinking of a mild buggy. Something with a doubler, 38-40" tires, lockers and not a lot of worry about sheet metal (less is more)
Would like to do as little as possible: no desire to go to Dana axles or a v8 or to do a link suspension... staying Toyota would be desirable. Fine with liberal use of the sawzall.
No street use.
Prefer manual to auto.
Options?
FJ60/FJ62 - SOA, ToyBox($), 2F/3FE, lockers (willing to swap to alternate trans to make the doubler part easier...
Mini/4Runner - Doubler, lockers
Mini/4Runner - FJ60 axles, doubler, lockers
Seems maybe a Mini/4Runner gets the lockers and doubler for less $ as well as it is already SOA. Thinking the "best/cheapest/easiest" path is a solid axle mini/Runner.
THoughts?
