    There's a big difference between taking your truck off-road with a sense of self-preservation in mind vs hauling butt like a kid that just got his first truck out of HS.  

    Take it easy, don't take risks, drive the truck like it's *not* a d!ck extension and you shouldn't have any problems.  You can trash a suspension in 10 minutes or 10 years depending on how you drive it off road.

    Also, don't let your kids drive it when they get old enough.

    My thoughts are

    the jeeps got the fun factor, remove the doors and top, off-roading and customizable

    the 4runner is reliable and capable offroad just not quite to the level of a jeep without potentially costly modifications 

    the 2 trucks are neck and neck and wouldn’t be used to offroad any. Also no there won’t be any lift kits 22” wheels and 38” tires applied to the trucks. They will remain stock

    What’s crazy to me is that the trucks actually get decent mileage now. My dad has a new RAM Laramie and I’ve driven it quite a bit. That thing is awesome to drive.

    Soccer Mom's have ruined the Wrangler for me. That’s all I see is soccer moms with their lifted Wranglers with light bars and winches. It’s kind of crazy actually

    Thought about that but it’s 2WD. I dunno if it would be worth adding all the updates I would need to for it to be capable.

    @Mattman3969 That may be my wife’s favorite dish. Yours looks great. It’s so simple and elegant amd delicious. 
    @nolaegghead That sauce looks particularly tasty. I went to the store this evening and picked up bones and vegetables to roast for a brown stock. I’m going to make a bunch of demi-glace and freeze in ice cube trays. Those dark, brown, thick sauces are so delicious...

    Shredded short rib (leftover short rib) and garlic mashed taters.  Made gravy from pureed stock and veggies.
    That looks pretty damn good to me. My wife on the other hand would insist on ruining it with something green.

    @SciAggie - I put a SV twist on this one.  Rubbed chicken with Italian seasoning then into the bag with butter, lemon juice, chicken stock and the capers and brine. Ran it for 2hrs at 147. Then the chicken went into an ice bath cause I was afraid it would overcook during the sear as thin as it was.  Seared in butter and EVOO, removed then dumped the bag in to boil a bit with the lemon slices.  
      I normally don’t go crazy with extra stuff in the bag because the taste difference is negligible. That was the opposite with this cook.  The flavors were amplified in the chicken.  Mrs3969 said I DARE you to make this any other way from this point forward and I said yes ma’am.

    It had a slight green tint from the celery and bell peppers so I hit the gravy with some port and Kitchen Bouquet (whatever that brown stuff was called) plus roasted garlic bullion.   Man, wish I could duplicate it but it was too chaotic when ("chef") created.   Art sometimes is greater than the sum of the artist.  Pete knows where I'm coming from.

    Main thing I need is a vehicle that can last 200,000 miles with not a lot of upkeep or issues. I love my 4runner because I’ve barely had to make any repairs on it and it still runs great. I’m keeping it till it dies. 
    This sez Toyota, also.  I'd still be driving my '92 (230,000 miles) except someone ran a stop sign and totaled it.  My '07 Taco only has 63K on it, and it will be my last truck; as long as the new 4Runner has enough space for you, it'd be a no-brainer for me.  My 2-scent's worth...

    This seems to be based on the belief that macro-economics is ruled by straightforward statistical rules, incorrect or not? Which is more likely, that people are making bad choices, which statistically transfer their wealth upward, or that the 'game' is rigged, and no 'correct theory' of behavior is going to significantly change that? When the house is rigged, what will be the benefit of better gambling knowledge of all the players? I don't think we can be saved by ivory tower academics when the finance industry, patent and copyright law, and 'free traders' have tilted the table so dramatically their way.
