    TJ as road trip/overlander?

    1998 187k miles, 4.0. clean title. Automatic 2Door 5,500 firm on price. seems like a solid deal? Almost too good for a 2dr. Opinions?

    TJ as road trip/overlander?

    It’s a shame they don’t sell the new jimny in the U.S. probably not a lot of money to be made is a small 2Dr, but I’d sure love one. As for electric cars, I’d love one as a daily. However, even with all the super chargers, I can’t imagine a 20hr drive being too pleasant lol.

    TJ as road trip/overlander?

    Would you guys consider this a good deal for an XJ? 170k, 4x4, 4.0 Auto. clean in and out, but salvage title from side impact.

    TJ as road trip/overlander?

    Sweet rigs! I always forget about the ZJ and WJ having solid axles. So, that gives me 3 solid options lol. Were the ZJ and WJ also unibody? I know that tends to be an issue with XJs. Also, If I went with later model Cherokees, should I go for V8 or i6? which was more reliable?

    TJ as road trip/overlander?

    Im starting to think an XJ would be a good balance between the capabilities of the TJ, with the comfort of the 4runner I want. I’m not exactly a huge XJ fan (looks like a box), but if a wrangler and 4runner had a kid, I suppose the XJ would be the perfect blend of the two.

    TJ as road trip/overlander?

    Man, I just can’t wheel a manual. I feel like I’d need a crawl box to reduce the gears enough to make it drivable. I had a buddy that rock crawled a manual trans and all we would ever smell was burned clutch. Lol.

    TJ as road trip/overlander?

    Nice Rubi! I was so sure I wanted a new wrangler and ended up canceling my order, even a non-Rubicon model will go for nearly 50k after taxes. But they have the comfort of a 4runner with the capability of a solid axle rig. Thats how I came up with wanting a TJ or 4Runner. one has a little more...

    TJ as road trip/overlander?

    Haha, thanks everyone! I used to have a 2018 tacoma and had to sell it (some punk poured sugar in my fuel tank). Anyways, I didn’t feel like paying 50k+ on a new rig, so I’ve considered a TJ or 3rd Gen 4Runner. We do a lot of road trips with a lot of wheeling in Utah, colorado, Etc, and once a...

    TJ as road trip/overlander?

    Anyone drive their TJ for 2k+ miles on the road? Is it really as bad as people say it is if I buy one with a hardtop and try to sound deaden it?

    Longterm review of the 3rd Gen 4Runner

    Good to hear! I had a new Tacoma and I felt like I was constantly fighting the dam sensors and computers. Been looking at these 4Runners as a replacement.

    Possible on a 2dr?

    Tacos are great! but they're definitely no jeep when it comes to off-roading.

    Anyone tried these new tires yet?

    Sorry, I wasn't sure where to put this but tires are the first step to recovery! haha. Anyways, I came a cross these new tires. Its ******** Cepek trail country EXP. They're a hybrid tire and seem like a great option, but there aren't many reviews yet.. this is all I've found in terms of an off...

    The Excuse: A 4400 Mile, 12 State Adventure

    Wow! I had a blast reading through your trip report! I can’t wait to get out my self! I do have a question though! Not sure if I missed it but how was the restroom situation for you guys? I know in a few camping locations you had restrooms but was that for all or just a few? My wife refuses to...

    That’s awesome!!!!! So what happened? He just didn’t check in? Or was he stranded?

    Looking for some DIY advice.

    You pretty much hit the nail on the head with your response. Based on your experience, my wife wouldn’t care for a RTT. I think she would really enjoy a more traditional, teardrop style trailer. I got on TNTTT and it’s a crazy cool little website! I never knew such a think existed. So many...

    Looking for some DIY advice.

    The more I think about it, the more I want a little trailer like that. Although I’d still want a teardrop, that little trailer you have looks awesome! What kind of tent do you have above it? I found these build plans for something similar, for a HF frame...

    That’s a beautiful trailer, pretty much what I had envision. is it your own custom build with the northern tool trailer you mentioned? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Looking for some DIY advice.

    Bunch of dumb question may follow.. I apologize lol. So when someone goes (let’s say someone poops), do you keep the bag until it fills or swap out per person? Also, what do you do with the bags? Do you store them until you get to the nearest dump site? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
