I would say jeep, solid axles, more durable. Dont know much about the 4runner though

I see you asked this question in another thread of yours. If you're looking for a unbiased opinion and want serious answers, don't ask it on a Forum dedicated to those specific makes or models. Go to a mixed Forum (They are out there) and ask. Here you are on CHEROKEE Forum, you really expect someone to say the Toyota 4Runner is better? As for me, I could point out qualities in both that would be good for off roading, also some bad things as well.

If you ask me, that's a loaded question to ask on a Jeep Forum such as this one.

I'm gonna give you the most insane, crazy, unheard of answer you will ever get........



Get in your rigs and go find out.

thanks guys yes I know but I was wondering sorry for the stupid questains!

Not a stupid question. Just kinda stupid where you asked it. LOL! Do you have a friend or someone who's telling you their 4Runner is better than your Jeep? That where the questions coming from, or you looking to get a 4Runner?

Please, ask questions. That's how people learn things. Just don't forget about the search function also.

haha Thanks for understanding but, i have a 4runner 4x2 that im looking at and a Jeep Gr. Cherokee 4x4 and im leaning towards Jeep but a friend of mine is telling me the 4runner is going to be better even though it is 4x2! Just trying to do some "research" before i pull the trigger on which one im going to get!

There are things you can do to a 2x Runner and make it more capable but in the long run it still wont be 4x. I have no doubts that you will regret getting the Cherokee. Lets face it, you lock the rear of the Runner and put a decent tire on it with some kind of lift.... you're going to try harder and harder things. Once you hit that spot where 4x is needed... then what? I say build a 4x unless you are set on the Toyo. You spend your money how you want though. I would spend mine on something more capable. The more capable would be the 4x hands down. No matter what brand, a 2x will never be a 4x.

sorry to bother you again but which do you think would be better on gas? I know people say that the 4 runner is not "great" on gas but how is the jeep on gas?

OverEasy

That's something that could have a few answers as well. lol! (see, it never ends) Depending on model and what engine/ tranny and gears you had in either would determine what your gas mileage would be.

Didn't in one of your posts here recently, you said you already had a Cherokee? What's your mileage like now?

I had a Toyota Tacoma with 6" of lift, 33" and sometimes 35" tires, 3.55s, 22re, 5 speed. My gas mileage in that was around 17 - 20. That's what I get now in my 01 Cherokee w/ auto trans and the 4.0 and 235s.

If that helps.
