I've done the build to wants thing before. You end up with a super heavy truck that drains all your money and time and makes no sense anywhere outside of an around the world trip. The more things you mess with, the more things there are to maintain. I was at the point where I was modifying the truck to make my other mods work. Then, I followed MTSN on Hell's Revenge at Cruise Moab and watched a very modestly built Land Cruiser go everywhere my "built to the hilt" truck went.
"petrified sand..." I had never heard that term before going to Moab.
Such an awesome place.
I had an '04 4Runner. It was only 2wd, but the brake lock differential control was stunningly effective on ice, and slick roads. Really liked that vehicle!
I can see why it's such a great 4wd vehicle.
So what is your next trip?
I'm hoping to get that way in December. Work my way north starting at Picacho State Park.

I've read about Monache Meadows. Sounds pretty awesome, and definitely on the list of places to see.
