I think Toyota's FJ Cruiser would be the ultimate driving machine for the dogs. (...) It is 4 wheel drive and made to get to those off road places. (...)
I think I just heard the entire Jeep community laughing. Seeing an FJ on the trails is a rare occurrence indeed, just as rare as seeing an H2 anywhere other than the mall parking lot. ;P Or one of the new Jeep JK's and four-door Unlimited / Rubicon types that are trying to look like Jeep-Hummer clones.

My Jeep makes a very nice dog vehicle. It's one of the original LJ's ("Long Jeep" - the two-door Unlimited they made for three years. Same as a Wrangler on a longer wheelbase).

If I had any gripes it would be the fact that the wheel wells take up so much space on the inside of the vehicle that I cannot fit two crates in it by any stretch of the imagination. I did, however, take the rear seats, seat mounts, and seatbelts out, and put custom-cut rubber stall matting into the whole cargo area so the dogs have something comfy (and waterproof) to lie or sit on.
