Build a yota. Did you really need to ask?

Being egotistric doesn't help new folks who don't the ins/outs of what and why a rig is good or bad..

1st gens are

But the only thing I would be concerned with a 79' is they came with a 20r motor and possably a 4 speed tranny.. The 4 speed tranny is a pretty crappy tranny...

But they do have round headlamps :awesomework:

 

[FIVE~0~NINE--Wheeler]

well i have had a few yotas. just nothing else. i just sold a 84 with 4in lift and 5:29 gears.. with that gearing it wud do just about any trail.

 

[FIVE~0~NINE--Wheeler]

ya, 20rs have more torque then 22r cuz mor compression. but im gonna put a 5spd in it... and yes the round headlights are frickin awesome!!

[japerry]

One issue to think about when comparing 4runner or even the truck to an XJ is wheelbase and height. The Jeeps tend to ride a little lower and more stable opposed to the 4runner.

Whatever you do, don't put body lifts or insane suspension lifts. You'll end up with a top-heavy vehcile that will scare the $hit out of you whenever you're on something off-camber. If you need bigger tires, lift it a little bit and then do some chopping to the fenders.

Money is going to trade his buggy for a yota after riding in mine.

 

[zukkev]

ok thanks. any others opinions?? i wanna get the pros and cons of each.

You are gonna dump a crap load of time/money into an XJ to beef it up...As stated before, a toyota is a better base to start with... Or find yourself a Sami, can be built on the cheap...and are pretty capable lil rigs even mildly built..:awesomework:

 

[FIVE~0~NINE--Wheeler]

yea my friends has a sami that has yota axles and a VW deisel in it. it will climb about anything.
