Agreed. What they engineered and manufactured is a significant feat, and took guts (taking a risk). Admire it. If you don't want to buy it, don't. Admire it anyway.
if that were my rig, I'd try to buy it back. It has character now :) Add some money to make the suspension drive straight and have fun with the story until your new one arrives. Drive it offroad without even thinking about trail stripes.
I'd love a 'Nautical' Blue-Grey like that.....I hope that's the actual color. Sad my Orangeie is going bye-bye (likely). I haven't gotten a notice of bump, yet.
Maybe my early 2022 Cyber Orange order will pop in before it goes poof. If it disappears, I'll just wait a few years until a used one is available...for less than MSRP.
It looks like a badge-of-honor rig. If it were mine, I'd take the roof off - and stretch a canvas bimini over it.....and just roll with it. It's a rolling conversation starter. I'm quasi-considering bidding on it.
Don't surrender your mojo. It's tough to face down a wife-turned-mother who wants to go all-in on momhood....but try to keep something for yourself. It's best for everyone.
You’re only painting one vertical surface. Bedliner issues had to do with water pooling under a horizontal ‘bathtub’ shape.
The matte/textured surface of the bedliner is how the surface visually ‘disappears’.
