Go with the FJ! It's made for it. Careful with the teardrop! I had to beef up axle, springs, and tires before mine was ready for offroad.
My preference is to tow the teardrop to a bacecamp and leave it there. Explore out with the FJ. Unfortunately the offroad club doesn't understand that concept. They go point to point and the trailer has to tag along. Most in the offroad club camp with a tent or rooftop tent. They are more mobile that way. They are starting to come around to the comforts of a trailer though!
Also, I recommend joining an offroad club. I had fun off-roading by myself for years, but multiply that fun my 5X after I joined the club. Great support, ideas, and group trips.
