Help me pull the trigger. Is the telly right for me?

Sounds like exactly what I'm thinking about with it. I've thought about what it would look like with some 18inch wheels and some AT tires. One other thing I'm curious about is a dog barrier that would work with the captains chairs.

If you search the forum theres plenty of people with the 18" wheel/tires.

I just use a mesh dog barrier that clips onto the headrests and extends the length of the floor. The one thing i've actually run into is if the dog gets excited he sometimes will hit the button that slides the seat forward.

I noticed that you said you don't have kids *yet*. One of the other reasons i got the telly was for future kids. I've taken a full load of kids (5+2 adults) out apple picking and it passed with flying colors. It was easy to buckle them in and the older kids had no problem getting out the back.

 

[Docs Telly]

Range rovers are quite out of my price range unfortunately

Range Rovers reliability ng. Constantly having electrical issues, etc. At least the one I had and others I've spoke with. Telly more reliable imo. Not a serious off roader as others mentioned. Can hold its own in snow and mud, and capacity is nice.
