Well, looking for suggestions for a cheap ass 4x4 SUV or possibly truck to drive on a regular basis. I need something that can tow jetskis and gas mileage isn't much of a concern to me. 4x4 is mandatory, just bc I want it, not bc I will probably need it more than once or twice. I've been looking towards early 90's 4runners or maybe some higher mileage blazers ('95+). Trying to find something cheap here, anything else I should be looking for?? I'm leaning towards a 4runner since the 'yota is reliable as hell and even the old ones are decent looking cars.

Suggest, or bitch in the typical TWW fashion...

get a yota, but if gas mileage isnt and issue, get a mid 70's tank, ie. full size bronce, ram charger, blazer etc, you can probably pick up a decent one for less than 2k

you know you want it

hehe, depends on how long it stays for sale...if its long enough and things go well $$ wise, it's a strong possibility

You don't really want a Wrangler if you are using it for towing. The short wheel base could get a little scary.
