Re: El Cheapo SUV
Ill tell you, back in 81 I bought a brand new Toyota 4 wheel pickup, the thing ran incredible and was a great beach cruiser as it was really light, Problem I had with it was while wheeling in the woods I hit a tree and the thing crumbled like tin foil, I ordered new fenders and hood and I will bet they didnt weigh more than 5 lbs total....Great drive train, poor body, not something I want my kids in as I dont think their very safe...Maybe the 4 ruuners are more sturdy...Ill have to check it out...I also bought a new F150 step side heritage pickup for a coffee runner to job sites and that is built as good as chewing gum wrappers also so I wont be getting any of those either...When your kids and grandkids are involved you want nothing less than a Sherman tank

Re: El Cheapo SUV
Sam look around at the little Jeep wagons..they made a bajillion of them in the 90's pretty tough rig and with the old tried and true straight six they get decent milage and just run with no hassle...I see them around up here pretty cheap especially if you dont mind a 2wd model.

Re: El Cheapo SUV
there rock solid..only downside is if the O/D trans is soft its about 2g even on the buddy deal to get it working right again..motors are the same thing they built 20 yrs ago...I see them around up here for about 2K plus or minus due to miles...problem is the rock crawler dudes have taken a likeing to them up here and buying them up and lighting the torch..

Re: El Cheapo SUV
ill see if i can find the website, lists auctions for military vehicles, used to watch it for full size vans ( brother is a contractor in chicago) but they always had jeep suv's on there. most likely stripped down models but they went pretty reasonably.
