Its not vague its pretty straightforward, I need to get through high water and mud, I have 25k.

That 25k and what you shopped helped a lot.

Anyway, this thread im about to post had a very interesting argument on this topic that may help lead you in the right direction or confuse you? lol.

But i learned a lot since this thread.

Good-Bye Jeep Liberty! WELCOME BACK JEEP CHEROKEE!

I lean toward Jeep products myself. Any vehicle you buy in order to make it tough on terrain will need modification. There is nothing you can buy off the lot that's ready for anything. Hope that link helps?

Highlander is based on a Camry while the FJ is based on a 4 runner. (Uni-body vs. traditional frame). I don't know about the Highlander, but on the Lexus RX, another car that is based on the Highlander, they tell you specifically not to go off road on their website.

I am a Jeep kind of guy, have been as long as I can remember as my grandpa brought me up on them. In the last 15 years I have owned at least one at all times with 3 being the most at one time. Bought my first Jeep back in 81 and it was a 72 CJ5 with the 304 V8. Land Rovers...........no Toyota's are ok but give me a SFA any day over an ISF. There are not many vehicles as capable as a stock Rubicon period end of converstaion.
