Thanks for all the help guys...Ive been doing some research and know that the truck will make it...I believe to that it would be a fantastic overlander too because of the solid front axle and how basic the suspension is (leafsprings on every corner) I do have some work to do to before I can go. I am very mechanically inclined so Im not worried about grease under the fingernails and do most of my own work on my vehicles...have a good selection of spares too as I have a friend with another parts 4runner. Engine blew but the rest of it is mint...So sweet deal for me...Anyways...I was wondering more about overlanding gear that would be good to bring...The camping type stuff....
