If insurance is gonna be a hassle due to your age (and the engine transplant) then go the Paj.
Otherwise though, no question the 4runner.

i own a runner and very happy with it. The running gear is more stronger in the runner then the paj i'm going to fit a 1KZTE to my runner very shortly.

4Runner, if you do get more serious about 4x4ing there is abot more you can do with them.

My understanding is the some of the Paj have 9.5 inch ring gear ie; very stong diff.
dont know about the rest of it though

Spend some real money. GQ is your only option.

that would be the cheap option and dude i own a 80 series and it rocks buying a gq would be a step backwards but the question was for a friend not me i like the paj very strong running gear especialy front cv in the v6 and with a bit of tinkering under the front end u can get 4,5 inches out of them the thing i worry with the 4 runner there narrow.
and whats a s.a.s conversion?

Drive both, and buy the one you like. They're both capable. Mind you, the dunnydore V6 would be a nice motor off road and the 4runner already has a 4" lift.

Considering how high a lux is (let alone a 4 runner with the high tin top) then WHY THE HELL YOU NEED 4" lift to run 32"?
Cmon guys they had a factory 7.50R16 option in the lux and 31" as standard on the 4runner?
Only reason I can see is... malling.... or to roll the freaking thing over.

with a bit of work u can get that much travel out of ifs but what would be cheaper do a sas conversion or have the front ifs redesigned to take a 5i lift

a mate of mine has got a paj it has rear diff locks this helps it out but it lacks travel in the front but that s the joy of ifs either one are capable .personal choise
