    I really appreciate the input, and you'll be glad to know I already have plans of incorporating a fair bit of extra fuel storage in the trailer for this concern. I am going to have to build my own trailer, I know that already, plus I really like building my own things. Because aside from my...

    Kind of, however I first asked between 3 vehicles, a WK Jeep, a LR3, and a 3rd gen 4runner. Positive notes were made about the dependability of the Toyota, no great things were said or mentioned about the LR3 and only one real comment was said about the WK (it is not as good as it seems to be or...

    Okay, so against some advice, I have restructured my plan slightly, I will have plans of making a small 2 person sleeping off road trailer with a goal weight of less then 2000lbs loaded (this may be tough) have a cargo box on top for gear. I did buy a 1999 4runner, absolutely mint completely...

    Well the rig should be capable of trails a stock JK wrangler (non Rubicon) would struggle with but complete. I've watched videos but have never been but we have alot of stuff around here that I would think compare to the Rubicon trail. McLean Creek and Waiparous Alberta are areas around me...

    I still need to lower my Van a bit more with an axle flip and c-notch, and new front suspension, it handles quite good the way it is (clover leaf offramps can be done near 100kph and sports cars have not been able to loose me in the mountains when I go to BC interior) but won't pass tech yet as...

    I like the suggestion on 1st gen Sequoia. How good are these on more technical trails? I know they are getting a bit big but not like 2nd gen big.

    My wife is 5'0" and my kids are both under 8years old right now. So 4 runner could still work as we would both be sleeping with one child. I am 6'3" so I'd be in the RTT. I have thought a decent XC70 or Outback could work, but once again it means no offroad trail rides with my buddies on the...

    So my end plan with these smaller options is to have an offroad trailer that all the gear, food, extra parts, extra fuel ect. travels in and have a RTT (mounted on trailer or roof ) for 2 people and 2 people with 2 dogs sleep in the vehicle. Shorter trips, or trips without kids I would plan on...

    I do plan on Camping on these trips, yes. The problem with a suburban/expedition is they get too big for me to go for a weekend offroad trail drive with my offroad buddies, and this does have importance to me. I know I won't find the perfect vehicle to do all but trying to decipher the best...

    Lol, my Van is lowered and getting setup for track days. I know it is ridiculous, but it is also getting an LS swap. It is a 1999 Ram 2500 Van. Google Dajiban. I NEED paved roads for that thing.

    That manual 4 runner I mentioned is sold, there is a similar Automatic one without the lift, for just a couple hundred more. Once I know what vehicle to really search for I am sure I can find one quickly.

    Hello all, my name is Ben. I have been looking on the Forum for a VERY long time, but never actually joined as I was in no position to get my expedition vehicle, because of an addiction to sports cars... Well I finally got rid of all the cars so it is time for some family adventures. This...
