Need advice on a cheap reliable 4x4 to replace my CUCV with

Buy my 87 k5 DD. Bone stock.
You're still trying to get rid of it? I thought you were turning it into the next project.
I don't know. I seem to be more female in my thought process. Can't make up my mind. I really need a truck. But that would have to be a short bed to still fit into the garage. So why bother? But I would need to upgrade the blazer to be able to tow the boat any distance. Just did a 150 miles in the blazer today. I really need to fix the cruise and the tires need balanced in a bad way. So time to sell, right?
If balancing tires is enough to sway your decision...you're even less stable than I realized.
How can you have storage limitations? The shop is plenty big for any length of truck, right?
Then I have to walk all of the way to the barn to go anywhere.
We'd hate for you to hafta do that, wouldn't we.
Must be time to expand the garage.

Ask @Larry how much he likes Trailblazers.
Phuck dat! No Trailblazer/Envoy for me than you. I’ve never been a fan of the GMT360 platform. Odd interior, spongy ride, rear doors that don’t seal worth a hoot and a total service nightmare to do just about anything. Not one of GM's shining stars if you ask me. As far as SUVs, you can’t beat a Tahoe/Suburban for the large needs but the Toyota 4Runner is the rig for a medium to small size SUV. The FJ Cruiser is a pretty cool rig as well and will hold/increase in value for decades to come now that they are out of production. The FJ is already considered a modern classic as odd as that sounds.

I thought the FJ had a few issues with frame flex or body flex which led to bent and torn body panels during light wheeling.
For some reason, they hold their value like a mother.... People down here love them
