My favorite rig I've ever owned was an s10 zr2 blazer. I had to sell it though to buy something that was easier to put carseats in.I have a 2005 Trail blazer that is 4 wheel drive. It has aroudn 230k miles and is a perfectly functional ride that I absolutely love. If I didn't have it, I don't know what i'd do. The ONLY downfall is having to haul a trailer if you carry anything like an ATV. But, with the luggage racks on top, I have thrown my 17' canoe on top and took it hunting haha.
Love my 4runner. Sold my FJ for the same reason.. easier to put a carseat in.My favorite rig I've ever owned was an s10 zr2 blazer. I had to sell it though to buy something that was easier to put carseats in.
Someday I'll buy something similar. I've seen some cool stuff done with 4runners lately that peak my interest.

My co worker had been working on his for the last couple years. It's pretty darn nice. Lift, tires, luggage rack, new bumpers, skid plates, rear ladder, drawers in the back, awnings that attach to the luggage racks. I think he even bought one of those roof tents.Love my 4runner.

Definitely a lot you can do with it. I don't need to go that far lol, I spend enough time tinkering with saddle stuff! I put a front hitch on mine so I can leave my cargo carrier on the front all season and it doesn't get in my way. I also just picked up a rhino rack t-loader to make it easier to get the nucanoe up onto the kayak rack.My co worker had been working on his for the last couple years. It's pretty darn nice.

It's a great 4 wheeling, hunting rig.

I agree. I have thought about building me a small bed area in the back that would allow me to lay a single mattress back there, but I haven't done it yet. I just like having all my stuff inside my vehicle. I think I would like having a truck with camper cover on the back too though.
Sold the f250 couple months ago so it's just the ranger now but it was always the real hunting rig anyways, big truck was mostly for farm stuff. I would really like to have a ford bronco for a stand alone hunting rig!!!

Bump. Thought I’d share my new rig. I recently sold my Honda civic and 2WD Toyota Sequoia and got this 2006 gx470 with 108k miles. I’ve always liked the look of these. This will become my do it all vehicle.
In case you’re wondering why a gx. First off, I’ve never had a 4WD and I have been stuck a lot, so I wanted 4WD. I had trouble finding a 1st gen 4WD seqouia like I wanted with low miles and no big problems or rust. Then the 4WD 4Runners were selling for as much as the gxs so I decided to go with the gx. They typically have maintenance done at the dealership and can be found with low mileage. I lost a little space vs. the Sequoia but I like the size and turning radius. I also like that it has the 4.8. This is my first 4WD and I’m very happy with it so far. I put a 2in lift on it and deleted the airbag suspension in the rear. I went with 10x33” Nitto ridge grapplers and I couldn’t be happier with the stance/look. I’m hoping it does decent off-road as well. The handling feels tighter and it handles bumps well. Im excited to take it on some trails and see how it fairs.
Next purchases will be a swing arm hitch and basket for the rear. Looking forward to hauling some meat with this thing next season. We have a cross country trip out west planned this summer so I’m hoping to get some camping and trail time in as well.
