Thanks for posting this. So awesome to see a velocity blue 4 dr badlands! I have very similar spec(but I have the MIC hardtop and lux) ; really enjoyed seeing the pics and reading about your experience.
only about a year left till I get mine I guess lol.
Wow Iām shocked! I spoke to Albert just a few months ago. His prompt responsiveness and caring personality sold me on granger. My heart felt condolences go out to his family and granger Ford. Rest In Peace Albert!
Agree with what you said here. Iām definitely planning to at least put mine up for sale in the area for some ridiculous price once I have it in my possession. If it sells great! If not I still have a bronco. So win win for me. But if the market allows for it why not try and profit. Iām not one...
Wow that is impressive!!
mine has 368k on the body and ~120k on a swapped JDM engine. Transmission is original. Rear diff is a new one, upgraded.
yea so far Iāve averaged 12mpg but canāt complain. Havenāt had it long enough to see if it burns oil but wouldnāt think so since 120k is a spring...
Thanks bud! Yea def enjoying this rig.
the Audi was a lot of fun too just in its own way. But I was always worried about scratching it or damaging the wheels. Itās so liberating to drive something where I donāt care if it scratches. Steel bumpers front and rear so people stay away from me lol...
This is exactly how I felt while going through the trail. Sweaty palms, hoping not to roll over or damage something to where Iām stranded. Even started to think about how weād spend the night if we had to lol.
Thanks Norm! It was fun. My buddyās Wrangler with a small lift and 33ās made it through this area with little issues. So a bronco with Sasquatch should be fine here! But itās a narrow trail and we both got scratched up.
As for leading the group, more than happy to! But Iāll practice a lot more...
Thanks ! And yea! Many more years and adventures! One of my favorite things about this 4Runner is that it has a hurst shifter. I donāt know, it makes shifting through gears so awesome and crisp.
Bronco has seriously gotten me so ramped up and excited for off-roading. Since Broncos are delayed and Iāll probably get mine late 2021 or even in 2022, I decided to sell my beloved 2019 Audi S5
And just picked up a sweet ā97 4Runner 5speed 4x4 with rear diff locker!!
shortly after I picked...
Iām thinking Iāll comfortably do around 5 and then as time progresses do more.
As this rudimentary chart shows, start off cautious then head up as I get more comfortable.
till then....I have this one to keep me busy...
