I love how you are breaking things down into car payments . I think a lot of people don’t realize what a rig actually cost in the long run and the fun you can have if you can turn a wench or two . Had a 07 sequoia and really liked it took it on a lot of fun trips in amazing comfort .
In my opinion the 3rd gens where the last of the real rugged 4runners after that they all became bigger and more street orientated . If you like what you have keep on keeping on , if you have basic mechanical understanding and a friend to help replacing a motor on one is a piece of cake (even...
Here I’ll help
Let’s be honest Both wrangler and the bronco are crap off-road compared to a ummm .... Nissan patrol I know a guy who knows a guy that has driven the hardest trails in the world and never been stuck and it has like a million miles on it so that proves it’s the best end of story...

I wish people would quit saying ifs works so good in high speed because they use it in KOH ,Or bringing up KOH when we are talking about stock rigs that’s a way way wayyyyyy different setup and Their bumpstops alone are probably worth more then most of us spend on our whole suspension and the...
Not so much spares but check all of your *motor mounts and trans mounts
*Track bar bushings
*Control arms and bushings
*Replace the factory quick clamps on your intake boot with actual hose clamps because they always seem to come loose
* Battery cables and add a couple extra ground straps (...
Usually it’s not the engine that fails but what’s connected to it. have every fluid changed but have them filter check the fluids for partials It’s the biggest indicator if a major issue is just around the corner . Next is hoses belts and very importantly the tensioners and idlers just change...

Now just think how over the GVWR most all the decked out rigs you see running around the internet are , nothing like loading a midsize rig up with a 3/4 ton payload and then wonder why it gets worse mileage than a v8 . On the odd side of things if you look at the GVWR rating for your rig say in...
