https://thevancamper.com/post/13609/4wd-converted-isuzu-npr-rhino-camper-conversion-for-sale I talked with the seller on Facebook for a while, looks pretty slick - extra info below:

Dropped you a message - I’m in the Bay Area every now and again, would love to chat.

Finally had a chance to out again..has been a while

GX470's are spectacular. Coil conversions are cheap/easy/common and solve the rear air suspension problems. Come to the dark side- we have lattes! https://www.facebook.com/groups/LexusGXOR/ https://lexusgxor.com/

Have you looked at GX470's? The 3rd row folds up against the sides and is easily removable - you may have more height to work with there.

You seem to have been spectacularly lucky on one hand and unlucky on the other. http://dashboard-light.com/vehicles/Land_Rover_LR3.html http://dashboard-light.com/vehicles/Lexus_GX.html

Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac and Hankook Dynapro AT-M do well in northern NH.

Yeah, the V8 is nice to have. I have 255/75's and winch/armor on my GX470 and it's perfectly happy.

Don't let the Lexus badge scare you off. :)

For what it's worth, I've done this: 1st gen Taco -> 1st gen Tundra -> 1st gen Taco -> LX450 -> GX470 -> GX470 #2 No regrets in moving to an SUV, and Lexus build quality is lovely.

The GX470 does not have VGRS - presumably the OP was looking at an LX470. If that is the case, the LX470 does not have air suspension.

Excluding the V8 models ;)

You should check out GX470's and GX460's too. No locker, but they all have V8s.

It is likely capable of monitoring five tires. I haven't looked at a 5th gen, but in Techstream there are five slots for TPMS IDs for a GX470 (same as 4th gen).

If you're planning on taking it off road, consider getting the rear diff in the GX470 rebuilt with a solid pinion spacer. A high mileage 8" rear diff with the OEM crush spacer is likely to fail eventually if ran hard enough.
