I am having a hard time with trying to decide on a platform??? I thought I would send this out and get some differing feedback as I am stuck in a repeating cycle of which option is right for my family. Believe me I say all the time, doesn't matter just get out more! Except, I just want the "right" set up. Yes OCD!!!! And, I can't have multiple platforms.
I live in Colorado and tend to stay within the state for most of my camping trips, annually to Moab. I have a young son (6) and my wife who enjoys going camping a few times per year. My use would be to do weekend trips, exploring, fishing, hunting, mild wheeling.
I currently have a mildly built 200 series Land Cruiser, lift, roof rack, wheels & tires, sliders, AA decals, just no aftermarket bumpers. Here are the options I am kicking around.
1- Build out the Cruiser add Alu-cab tent.
2- Leave the Cruiser as is, add XVenture XV trailer and custom build a different rack / topper and an Alu-cab tent.
3- Buy the fully restored 1993 70 series Troop Carrier that will be coming into the US in a few weeks, and add the Alu-cab Hercules top to it and build out the interior.
4- Ram 2500 with a Hallmark pop up camper. Would probably want a side by side with this set up?
If I could afford both I would keep the 200 and add the Troopy. The troopy is going to be priced high enough that it's not possible.
Thought it would be interesting to hear back from the group. Thanks and go easy on me!!!
