    Helicopter can't get close enough to the cliff to pick up someone from that ledge, remember the rotor.

    The hoist line drops straight down from the helicopter so if it needs to be directly above the subject needing rescue which it can't do on a near vertical cliff because of the rotor.

    Could just get an avalanche crew to lob a shell into the cliff underneath you to help you down.

    This.

    You'd be waiting for rescue to get to the top and then rappel the several hundred feet down to that ledge to you. Then you'd get to probably rappel down the whole thing, it would be one long day.

    Must be a Ford thing - drove a rental Focus, had atrocious lights, and these were projectors. Woodland roads in northern Idaho, 55 MPH zone, 40 was pushing it with the low beams.

    Then again, most vehicles seem to be made for the city where all the other lighting will allow you to drive without needing real headlights. Pickup is being repaired again, already miss the lighting :)

    This was left on my porch today. It's been raining for days, so this spot has been getting rain long before the package was delivered. A few inches away is 20sf + of dry porch. WTF?

    *OR* the delivery person left it safe in a dry spot, but a package thief started to walk away with it, changed their mind & threw it down haphazardly. :notsure:

    So, take a 2016 TRD Sport 4x4 ($35k), then add 22k miles and $10k of questionable modifications, and it's suddenly worth $65k?

    Maybe the extra $25k over what it may actually be worth is for the "modern artistic expression" displayed.

    I understand that style perception is different for everyone, but why anyone would buy this nightmare over a stock TRD OR or Pro is completely beyond my comprehension

    It's a good thing he doesn't HAVE to sell it
