    Time to look up photos, I feel the same way about that bronco as I do FJs they look weird with white roofs.

    Toyota isn't an innovator for consumers, it may push the envelope in motorsports and concepts, but they never bring anything to the market.

    Jeeps are like 4runners, they sell like hotcakes as 16 year old male and female rigs (people aren't going to like that). The bronco IMO will probably bring the older crowd more than the younger.

    I'd buy a bare bones bare bones Rubicon Gladiator if I didn't have my truck and was still in market for midsize. Sadly no matter how much we try to make something our own, if we're buying premanufactured parts it's impossible to get something 100% unique. Maybe it will be unique to our small group, but not to instagram/facebook.

    my 2.5L and all my friends 2.5s were bulletproof and we bounced off rev limiters a lot. Personally I haven't experienced jeep unreliability, but I've only owned a dakota and TJ, friends have owned the 3.6L and new 4cylinder turbo. No one I personally know has had the so called troublesome 3.8L that came in first gen JKs.

    have they even released the diesel they touted about when the JLs were first announced.

    The problem with Rubi's......you can't order a bare bones one anymore. It's top of the line with all kinds of shit I wouldn't want.

    Looks very futuristic yet subtle, almost like what Tesla should've released. I think they did well on looks, I like it, but won't be getting one.

    It's just simplistic and smooth, nothing too flashy or bulgy like on the FJ, it reminds me of a bigger "NEW" samurai

    That 2.7 ecoboost will zoom though.

    I'm getting in bed. Hope work treats you well.

    I've went on cars.com and priced them barebones. They may have changed for 2020 or 2021 though.
    Something like listed would be a great deal compared to similar priced 2020-2021 TRD OR/Pros
    If you don't care about leather and electric gremlins and only function off road.

    I gotcha, the only amenity being A/C and heat, and a basic Bluetooth radio would be fine for me. I use my phone for navigation.

    they can’t legally make them anymore without rear view cameras though.

    Only have done a little research so far on houses. We are supposed to go up there at some point to check out the area. If we are to make the move I would try to get on with Decatur FD probably.

    Daphne/Spanishfort, AL and Gulf Breeze, FL are also in the running for a possible move for us as well.

    Well came to work this morning, to find out I'm being realigned under another engineering manager and being moved to another building. It's good news, because the "team" I'm currently with doesn't make much sense.
