Thanks, it is pretty sweet! May hold onto this and buy 2023
Very sharp,love the Army Green. I did the same thing with a 2021 Lunar rock pro-all stock. $1,000 under MSRP so i took the plunge. One Early and one late reservation with Granger (July 14th and october 30th) so i likely will keep the later reservation and get a 2022 Bronco with white top!

This thing will hold value, may even make $. The TRD Pro's hold value had to fly to another state to get this one.
!00 % correct on the TRD PRO holdng it's value. I bought a Black one in 2015 for $41,500 and got $37500 on a trade in after I put over 50k miles on it. Traded in on a Cement TRD PRO great 4 x 4's. The biggest problem you'll have is giving it up when your Bronco comes in. I plan on keeping mine for a long time. With two teenage sons, the TRD PRO and Rubicon should keep them the heck away from my New Bronco.

Very nice to have options! It is hard when you are trying to find the one do it all vehicle. I will most likely keep the Toy even after I get the Bronco as my Son really wants it.

Nice and I love this color as well. You lucked out with the price and you may actually make a profit on this thing especially buying the newest TRD Pro color. Have fun building this thing out and if you keep it, most likely will outlast the Bronco

I've been throwing around this same idea. I've been contemplating buying a built 1997 Jeep TJ to wheel until my Bronco (Lilly GOAT) comes home. Something about like what this dude is running.

You can find them fairly priced for around $7k-$10k. I love the green and tan colors together.
P.S. I'm not even a Jeep guy.

This is my stop gap car. I put winter tires and wheels on it this week. V8 Voodoo 5.2 litre manny tranny goodness. The back seats fold down and I can fit a couple of bikes and a tent in the trunk. This one lives best on the highway, but every vehicle I drive goes off road somewhere.

The Rivian really has my interest! Especially after watching Long Way up.
I hadn't initially been considering the Rivian until my Bronco build now looks like it will slip well into 2022. Which puts them both in the same time frame. Different tradeoffs, but both have strong points for me.

The funny thing is I saw this on craigslist a few weeks ago and texted the seller as I was considering it instead of waiting for the Bronco. The seller never wrote back so I figured it was pending sale and I didn't try harder. Did you pay his asking 53k? One thing I considered with this 4runner build is the tire size won't fit as a spare so it will need a rear tire carrier or smaller size tires to get a full size spare....that is if my research was correct.

Small world. Yes, this is the one in Alamo. I paid 52K, which is a great buy as he had receipts of all upgrade totaling 23K with most work being done at Walnut Creek Customs. Yes, spare is smaller (265 vs. 285's) so it will fit under, he just liked it on top. I took it off and will put back under or get a hitch swing tire / bike rack / table not sure yet. I just got tired of waiting and want to have fun now. I already took it to the foothills this weekend and it performs very good especially with the ICON Stage II Shocks / lift if like butter on the dirt.

Good deal! I spent an hour or more researching that vehicle before I texted him trying to buy it. It definitely has some good mods and that price was a deal. Enjoy!
