    I liked it. Plenty of power. Nice ride. Quiet.

    The cargo area has some nice little storage areas. The back seats fold awkwardly. Seems about as roomy as my 4Runner, so that's weird

    :rofl:

    I won't be doing anything until interest rates come down. I want to see what kind of fuel economy they get in the real world, also. And, give it a while for the bugs to show up and get worked out.

    But, I might just decide to keep the 4Runner forever.:notsure:

    You can’t do that, it would be far too responsible!

    Yes and yes...

    Found this kit with the polisher: https://www.chemicalguys.com/products/torqx-polish-correction-kit

    ... and then added on the clay bar and spray, Clean Slate and Mr. Pink.

    If you sign up at their site you get an email for 20% off your first order. That's in addition to sale prices. I ordered during a Father's day sale and it looks like they have another sale going on now for the 4th. Maybe it's all marketing, but I compared to Amazon pricing and I think it was similar to the site, but the 20% off first order helped me out. Free shipping too.

    If you don't want to go for the polisher you're welcome to use mine after I find time to try it out. Let me know! :thumbsup:

    Been thinking about these products for a while but haven't pulled the trigger on anything because I wonder how they would play with the vinyl on my truck. Guess I should do a bit of research.

    Relentless Fab hybrid bumper, 2.5” Dobinsons IMS lift, RCI skids and sliders, block heater. Painted FJ Steelies. Was trying to keep it stock, now slowly building for the Wisconsin trails.
    A good number of the videos I have seen to demonstrate the products they put down masking tape to better show the difference afterwards. When they run the polisher over the tape it doesn't peel it up.

    Was a long haired vagabond standing on a corner in Winslow in 1971 and was flipped off a couple of times by folks in passing vehicles, thought that I was going to get my ass kicked. Got quite a laugh when Take It Easy was released in 1972.

    I swear, I'm never going to get this old driveshaft rebuilt. A few weeks ago, I bought a kit w/ 3 u-joints and the center bearing. Seller sent the wrong center bearing. Instead of sending the correct center bearing (which I suspect he never had) he had me return everything. Almost 2 weeks ago, I ordered 3 u-joints from Jegs...I got an e-mail with a special offer. Just a few minutes ago, FEDEX delivered a package with 1 (!) u-joint. Now I can wait until at least Mon to hear from them what they want to do. I honestly expected better from Jegs.

    Just heard back from Jegs...oops, we were short on inventory. We'll send two out to you when they come in. WTF couldn't you have noted that 2+ weeks ago? Or even before you shipped on Mon? The price wasn't this good!
