I've tried finding rental agencies that will provide 4x4. Best I could find was usually an all wheel drive, Toyota RAV4 or equivalent. Good luck and let us know how it fares. Pete

Agree with you on the FJ. The space forces us to be judicious in what we take. Kind of streamlines the process. We use our FJ with a family of five. Have to stop for food probably a little more frequently but allows us opportunities to check out small villages and towns we would probably...

Thanks for the Artic Campers link. Seems the limiting factor is the amount of people they sleep. As long as they have two seatbelts up front and three in the back we're good. I've emailed the company to ask about that possibility. Keeping our fingers crossed. Either 4WD or AWD works for...

Well I think we've finally got it all figured out. Slowly getting all of our recovery and camp gear set. We recently purchased a used Nissan Xterra. Since we're not traveling outside UAE we're going to overland all over UAE this winter. I've done some book research, Wikiloc, etc. I'm not so...
