Default What would be the best for me....

Ok most of you have seen what ive done to my XJ over the past couple of years so now i got a pretty damn capable XJ but i am starting to wonder if a FSJ might be better for me, i mean i do a few hard trips but most of the time i would only be doing moderate trips and more camping and family trips (like beach runs and stuff) the XJ is great and i love it but the FSJ has more room and would be less hassle to fit all the stuff in and the 3 kids (i put the waeco in the XJ and its nearly full) i am about 50/50 on what i should do........ post your ideas and opinions here please i need some help

Also what would it be costing to mod a FSJ (not to the extent of my XJ) i was thinking about a 3" lift, 35's, lockers and not much else really.

figure i could get mid teens for the XJ so i would have about that to buy and mod a FSJ, is it possible?!?!?!?!

Although the room would be good, I always think about simplicity and cost of sourcing spares for any vehicle I drive. An XJ is a pretty popular vehicle and would seem to be a good thing to keep driving?

x2 on a trailer. Use it when needed, or else leave it at home! Best of both worlds.
