Iam gonna be getting a 4x4 sometime soon and i want to know what would be the best for me to get? I want somthing that can do well rockcrawling, but mostly driving through me and my friends fields. I dont know why but i want somthing that has V8, i was thinking somthing like an older ford or k-5 blazer.

What type of terrain is on your friends fields?

K5's are easy to find parts for and axle swaps are a piece of cake. scouts are cool i guess but parts availabilty isnt as good as the chevy

What type of terrain is on your friends fields?
some of it is smooth, theres a swamp in a corner, and the rest is rough

Parts are cheap and easy to come by for a K5 blazer. I would recomend a Toyota or a Samurai though. They don't have V-8's but parts are cheap, readily available and they are easy to work on. Plus they will fit down a lot smaller trails then a fullsize. Just my .02 cents.

TOYOTA!!!
I have less in my built Toyota then a stock Jeep costs( under $5000.00)
and it's WAY more capable/dependable. Go rice, you won't be sorry.

I had a K5 Blazer when I was 16 and it was great. Anything that broke I could fix myself, parts were cheap and it went anywhere I would want to go back in those days.

great all round beginner trucks

The Blazer is the way to go..

be a man and go full size, like an older bronco or f*50, they are great for that swamp and anything else you toss at em. and with the older bronmcos and f*50 its easy to find parts and they are easy to work on

depends on where you live. East coast, full size is tight in the trees. Toyota or Jeep IMO, you get reliablility or all around function. IF Toyota just made the FJ40 again with solid axles...

im in the east coast and i run my 78 f150 everywhere, yeah its a lil tight but you can make it if ya can drive. i follow my buddies amigo everywhere.

I got an 85 bronco off the corner for $600. I bought a used lift off of a guy that was going SAS for 100 bones. Put some tires on it, built a bumper for the front and sliders and am ready to go. All for under 1400 bones. I love the bronco, Baked

This is it before the tires

no matter how many times i see this ford i love it. hit me up in PM or something and tell me the specs of it if you will, and what kinda leafs your running in the front

I vote a ford yes chevys are easy to work on but a ford requires less mechanican and less work if u know what u are doin

FORD ALL THE WAY
