do something unique dont take the easy way out thats what wrong with the car hobby now building falling to the waste side to buying stuff that to be honest not as capable as a jeep or 4 runner that you can build for cheap and have a real Sports Utilitie Vehichle. Hot a v8 soccer mom road car.

You could be creative, and swap your engine into an AWD Typhoon (which are underpriced lately).
Below is my awd LS7 Typhoon:

awd tahoe is what im leaning towards. but i like the looks of the newer ones better but to expensive... if i can find a clean one with a blown motor. has anyone done a swap in a 4runner yet? i think that would be badass also.
