I’ll bring the snacks and road pops!

Intriguing. Cheap flight to PDX. Realistically, about $400-500 more than Granger’s deal. I’m torn, because I like road trips through the country’s heartland.

Sure, tape off what you don’t want to repaint. Sand and paint! Lots of tutorials online.

Well, true! Which is why we went with a (used) GX460 over a Tahoe when the FJ got too small.

Keep your speeds varied when possible and don’t overwork the engine. it’s anecdotal, I bought our 2008 FJ in Houston ($8k off, stayed with family in TX and CO). Drove it back over 2 days at mostly high interstate speeds. I did change the oil when I got home. At 150k miles, it didn’t miss a beat...

Definitely. I’d expect the cost to ship and cost to travel (both ways)may be close. I’ll probably leverage airline and hotel points.

I made an October reservation and Gramger is offering $2k below invoice (which is typically 8% below mark) for them. Not sure on a base 2-door with manual (and likely sasquatch), Hoping to stay under $30k as this won’t replace a vehicle. Yes, I’d fly and drive back...long drive but those trips...

Ford stock is cheap because the family owns the preferred stock types. But, keep that stock as the dividends are always decent.

Going with Granger, would consider Corwin. I’m okay with a cross-country trip...wouldn’t be the first time!

You make a great point... don’t just think about now, think about years down the road.

Base 2-door with manual for me. Maybe Sasquatch. Basically what I wish my old FJ would’ve been in 2008. We have a GX for the family trips or weekend adventures. It’s plenty capable, and easily tows our camper.

I must have misunderstood your previous post. I do wonder how hard it’ll be to recalibrate the speedometer for different tire sizes. I too prefer tall and skinny... that’s what we run on the GX in winter (also studded- it’s unstoppable).

I bet you’d have no problem selling the wheel and tire combo. Look on your local Craigslist at F150 and Raptor wheels and tires. Cheaper to buy take-offs than buy new tires.

I don’t think sag is the correct term, sag is what I think of when the ass is drooping. This just has some bad-ass hot rodder rake to it...like when I forget to let air out of the rear bags in my wife’s GX after towing.

I think you can see the upper left corner of that screen on the outside of the steering wheel. It’s a funny angle. I’d be fine if the base had a set of analog gauges.

i was joking, my friend.

That’s definitely the white top.

New plan to afford Sasquatch package: order white Bronco with white top, and sell white top.

The red R will complement the red TRD badges on my wife’s GX. And the Type R badges on my Honda mower and snowblower.

It’s more of a courtesy to drivers behind you, so your tires don’t kick up rocks stuck in the tread. Some states, like Idaho, require them.
