NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Great minds think alike, GF wants a 4Runner as soon as it was unveiled i tried to get her on the bronco train. She thinks the 4Runner is better looking though

 

4runner: my rear window rolls down.
bronco: cute, i go topless!
4runner: i have ATRAC.
bronco: i have f&r lockers, electronic disconnecting sway bar, 35s, etc
4runner: i have toyota reliability and service
bronco:

 

Plus all the aftermarket support for 2.3 and 2.7.

Its nice looking and full of features but ill wait to see what the true pricing is. The 30k doesnt get you much..just the 2 door. Plus a soft top only so youll be paying extra for the hard top. But definitely sounds like the guys who designed it are guys who actually would buy one and use it.

Only 3500lb towing is disappointing

 

Ahhh damn I have the TSS sensor cover if anyone wants it it’s yours for $10

 

@JimSnell can hook you up

 

Same towing capacity as a jeep though. The price for a base bronco is almost the exact same as a base 4x4 JL (and both have soft tops). Basically just competing with the JL/JLU and stealing market share from the instaoverlanders kitting out their tacomas and 4runners.

 

The financials seem to make sense, too - their pricing isn't out of line with others in the market. I was looking at the BadLands edition for something like 43 to start? It's better equipped than my wife's 4runner TRD ORP at about the same price. I have to agree, it seems like they got it right.

 

Well I finally had my back surgery this morning, onto recovering and getting back to 100% so I can hit the trails again!

 

Duuuuuuude! That’s huge! You’re gonna be so happy not dealing with that bullshit anymore. Now for no heavy bending, lifting or twisting for six months.

 

here's to a speedy recovery!

 

At least 6 months... REI is treating me pretty good so it’ll be stress free for the most part. I’ll try not to stock up on truck parts.

 

Thanks, Travis! Wishing I had that arb fridge with booze in it next to my bed lol

 

You're more than welcome to borrow it, it is just sitting in my garage right now.

 

Booze and painkillers, party time.

 

Haha no it’s ok! Thank you though. Also, I finally took the SCS lugs off my spare, all yours next time I see you.

 

For real, the easier you take it until it's time for rehab, will pay dividends later in life. But I support the recreational abuse of the liver in the meantime

 

Haha yeah I know, I am eager to get back to 100% but I will take my time and follow docs orders so I don’t jack anything up. Last thing I want to do is experience this all over.

 

Waiting on some parts to finish the engine replacement on the purple one, tuned up and test drove the yellow one. The GF is on board with a jetski purchase

 

Where is that?
