some differences though:
1. front diff is 8" vs the 7.5". this means stronger front end (including the axles) and the associated parts.
2. atrac system is much more improved (I'd say in the magnitude of like double digits) and even more fine tuned compared to the 4th gen 4runner.

the fj may lack the initial vertical height but does gain a more powerful atrac that helps. w/ both vehicles lifted, I'd go with the FJ if both were free
Completely agree. After offroading with a bunch of them out at Barstow, I'd have to say that they are REALLY capable offroad in stock trim. The ATRAC system is really amazing, their stock tires were spinning less that my SS's at times.
