The one I had was similar to that, it was the greatest machine offroad, would go anywhere it was pointed, unfortunately the trade off was the crazy driveline and wind noise.
I grew in to it but could not get over the dust and leaks in the cab.i bought my wife a prado for the same coin and they are very different machines.
Given this car did more offroad and dirt road work in 60000 than most would do in a lifetime.
If you are doing a long trip, to save requiring a shower each time you stop, find some dusty roads and give it a workout( hard this time of year for us southerners)
If it is your own car and your committing to it for a while, the issues i had are mostly easy to resolve with some silicon and stick on foam. I never got around to sorting the issues, I was offered a v8 landcruiser ute and have never looked back.
