Hey people, nice board and site.
I'm thinking of buying a 4x4 in the future, I'm starting to do some research now. A couple of summers ago I had an '86 Nissan 4x4 PU, nothing fancy, all stock. I didn't do anything hardcore with it, though I did make it up this rock-crawl section between Stave and Alouette lake that most other stock 4x4's couldn't do, it got me to some great views of both lakes, and that's how I got the 4x4'ing bug.
Anyways, I know I won't have a huge budget for off-roading, so I will be looking for the most reliable vehicle available. So which 4x4 (that I could buy for $5,000 to $10,000) do you think is most reliable? How reliable are the old Toyota Land Cruisers?
And if you were able to do some major modifications and replacements to your vehicle (engine, tranny, suspension, anything) and you were looking for reliability, which parts would you buy?
