I had some of these discussions with Kaisen - let's see if he chimes in - he'll have some input too.

There is some truth to the cheapness, but its actually one of the things I like about the car. And the cheapness in the FJ is tenfold thanks to all the plastic.
I agree with your choice of the 4runner, it is what my heart was set on 5 years ago when I ended up with the Xterra. Price made all the difference in the world though. We ended up with an 01' Xterra SE with 54,000 miles for just under $13k. Similarly optioned and miled 4runners were fetching $18-$20k. 5 years later we are still way ahead from a total outlay standpoint.
