Hi Jim,

Maybe I can get you started here.

There is a LOT of info on both vehicles out on the web. Rev up your
Google and go read everything you can. At one time I was considering
both. Here's a nice little article written by a Pinz / Mog dealer
about some of the pros and cons between the two:

Not being an owner of either, all I can do is comment based on what
I've read on the web about them. Your choice really will depend on
what you want to do with it. One has better road manners than the
other, one is a good bit larger than the other, both have their own
unique mechanical challenges from a maintenance perspective, and so
on. But I know there are a few guys here on the list with first hand
ownership experience that can speak with authority on the subject.

My advice is to really nail down exactly what you want to do with your
truck, and what you expect of it to do for you, and then see which one
fits your expectations and requirements best. And also factor in
parts suppliers and techincal support if you decide you need some
wrenching help.

Both are cool vehicles, the trick is choosing which one fits you best.
 Do your homework and you should be able to figure it out.

Good luck!
