Since I sold the 85 4runner I'm looking to sell my 2000 dodge for something with better mileage, anything is better than 13 MPG!
also want 4 doors and somewhat trail worthy. Oh yeah and I don't want to spend over 5k.
I'm thinking about newer 4 runner, or maybe a Jeep "Gasp" I know.. Cherokee 4 door. Any input guys? Tips suggestions.
Appreciated..Thanks

At that price, are you going to find a newer 4Runner?
You might want to stick with the cherokee 
I used to wheel a lot. . .

That really isn't much of a budget to work with, but there are some good deals out there.

Go with the Cherokee, i had one that i wheeled for 8 years and never had a problem... sold it last year with 206,000miles on it for 3000. keep looking you can probably find a 98-00 for around that price and installing a lift and tires is super easy with them.

By newer I mean 3rd gen. So still about 2000 model or older...
Cherokees look like they are selling really cheap. Are they cheap to build too. I don't want to go nuts, but would like to hit the trails still.
Hows the gas mileage on one of those straight 6's?

Cherokees are just ugly though. The people at the mall will laugh at you. 
You could probably pick up a 4Runner like Alex's in your price range.
