I have been looking for a few months and keep struggling with the direction that I need to go. I have no mechanical background so I would like to get something newer thinking that I may have less issues in the future, or at least have local support from a dealer. I do think a 4x4 will be the direction that I go. I enjoy reading everyones comments and pictures. I am sure it will end up being like my bass boats. Start at what is affordable and then getting bigger and better every year after lol.
