IF you have the means to tow the yota around go that route if you have to drive your rigs to the trail get the other.

If you get the Toyota, which would be a beast to drive on the highway, go ahead and get a trailer.  If you're getting a trailer, go ahead and get one that can haul the Toyota and your Jeep.  If you are doing that, go ahead and get a big ass heavy duty pickup to haul the trailer.

Help my memory...is Bane your first offroad vehicle (not including any 4 wheelers, SxS, or dirt bikes)?  Does your wife have any experience with this hobby (eh hem...sport)?

What engine, transmission and transfer case is the Toyota running? A lot of them came with a manual, the 22r/re is a damn good engine, and easy for a propane swap. If it has the dual cases transfer case it will have a super slow crawl ration but unless they did some MAJOR work it will still rock a manual

It's a 2.7L 5 speed manual. Marlin crawler case with low and double low. Pretty much the only only thing I would change is to pull out the rear spool and put in a Yukon Grizzly so I could street it better. It already has Warn Premium hubs with lockout so I'm not worried about the welded front.

That's a good engine to have. Can't tell from the pics what side the front diff I'd on, my guess is it's running a toy crawl box in front of the stock taco chain drive case. The chain drive is not as desirable as the older gear driven cases but still a decent case.

If you want to talk anymore toyota specifics let met know.

Once I swap out the spool rear for a Yukon unit and balance out the tires really well with airsoft pellets, what's keeping this rig from being decently streetable? I mean as streetable as you get with 40's.

Brake lights work? My advice for what little its worth, don't buy on off road rig to make it road worthy. If you want that buy the LC or get a Wrangler. The 40s will bring the suck esp with that engine. I ran 39 stickies with the 4cylinder 22re and 4.88 in the diffs and the one time I ran on the street it sucked to keep up
