Thanks for the Booster info and those sweet action pics. That is the biggest thing pushing her for the swap....the doors. I will fill her in on the seats and see what she thinks. Thanks again all and keep it coming.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a 4R. We had one but sold it since we don't have kids, got the mustang for now

4Runners are great rigs!! I will say this, the uniqueness of the FJs seems to be gone, so I wouldn't sweat that one. I swear I see as many FJs as 4Runners around here.

I have been considering trading my Grand Cherokee in for a 4Runner. The wife isn't too comfortable driving the FJ, so it would be a better fit for her.

The 4th gen 4runners are sweet when fully modified! Some guys I know with 4Rs go hardcore wheeling with some of us FJ guys. But if that doesn't suit you , you might want somethig like a LC 80 or maybe 100 series.

A Land Cruiser would be cool but the money...Yikes! That is a big jump from 4runner to a LC but if I could I would. I've been looking into some mods for the 4R and it seems pretty comparable.

Well Nine12 there are bigger issues here. First, I would kill the guy when you find him. Were you on base at the time?

quality of the 4Runner is light years ahead of the FJ, imo.. especially considering the price. I thought long and hard to choose between the two, and I just like the design and the offroading capabilities of the FJ. Interior quality of the 4Runner is amazing! (I'm talking 07+ models. FJ is rugged, while the runner is tamed. I had a 99 4runner and loved it. newer models are 10x better than what i had. tranny and drivability of the runner is so smooth.
