I share your feelings about the aesthetics of the base, and I'm not mad about switching over to it. that was an interesting insight about sunglasses... maybe just the push I need to add the switches option.
Haha, I know the feeling 😂 for whatever it's worth, I spent a little more time googling after posting my question. I found some extremely similar looking 16x7 wheels for the ranger which have a 55 offset. Pretty sure they're the same 👍
I'm eyeballing the Grabber AT/X in LT265/75R16 for my base, that'll get my up to 31-32 I think. Looks to be compatible with the 7" wheel width, at least. I briefly tried looking up the base wheel offset info to gauge whether I'd have a rubbing issue - I see above you mention it matches the BB...
Cool, that's one heck of a courtesy vehicle. Just saw my first one in Pullman, WA yesterday ripping around on the streets. Was a 4dr a51 soft top something, with the premium lights. Hoping it's one of the dealers and I can try it out next week 😬
I'm not so much a fan of the swing out tire on my 96 and it's slightly annoying that I absolutely MUST roll down the window to open the tailgate... but those are pretty minor inconveniences. I love having the roll down rear window and the tailgate is pretty handy for all sorts of reasons. 10/10...
I think these are way cool. Looking at their site, I wish these were around back when I had my FJ. I'ma consider picking these up once I have a vague build date! @fifteen52 is that promo code going to be good for a while yet, or just while you're still running the pre-order? 😬
Seriously. I just picked up a '96 Bronco with a 5.0 and the thing still runs like a top after a quarter of a century! Bet a lot 'of those clunkers had a lot of life left in 'em.
For real! That's what I'm looking for, too. I think there's still going to be a little bump in prices for those just based on the crazy market, but I really think we'll be able to make it out ahead overall. I had an old Explorer with a stick, I would love to find another one. I'm on the look out...
...and now I don't have a car. I don't really need one during the Summer, so I figure, hey, why not make hay while the sun shines, right? Used car values have gone up about 20% in my state, which was a good chunk of change added onto the would-be trade on my 2018 outback 3.6r touring. I figure...
I went from 4 to 2.85 through lenderfi on a 30 year around November of '20. They had surprisingly low fees, most of what I had to put down was for escrow. Not mad about it so far :) seemed like it was worth it 🤷♀️
Damn, I wonder how long this upward trend in trade values is going to continue...! I'm def open to turning in my Subi a little early and rolling around in some old beater for a few months if it means a couple grand.
Carvana is offering me 28k for my '18 3.6R outback (edit: damn, carmax beat...
