Someone finally found a vehicle with a slower 0-60(if it can get there) than a bronco.
Been doing that fot a few months now ....might have only been weeks, but it certainly feels like months.
So much for trusting my build date.

Not sure on the HP rating ... it has a TH400 and 4.56 gears, 6.2 diesel ....motor is SCREAMING at 55mph. Interior is basically an empty tin can, I have seriously considered wearing ear plugs when I drive it to work and back.

I brought home the gray one! It's...something. Goes 65 with the pedal to the floor, runs hot on the highway, and the 2-3 shift is an adventure, the seats suck, but the price was right. I love it.

If you're a crooked organization setting it up to tip over, sure.

Wow, that's nice one. Those little things are as rare as hen's teeth in my area.

We used to call them Suzuki Somersaults in Highschool! I looked at them about a year ago for towing behind the motorhome and mountain adventures but was shocked at the current market price. Nice find tho awesome choice!

I took the top off as soon as I got home last night. It's a bigger PITA than a Bronco and doesn't really stay with the vehicle when down. Left it home and of course it's going to rain today.

It spent some time out at the dunes, so not surprising it has a few issue. When it was 1st listed I thought about going and taking a look since it was just around the corner from my work.

The seller is a big Sami fan, has 2 others, and didn't try to sugar coat or hide anything either. It's a simple vehicle so I'm not too worried about fixing some things.

First thing I did today was wash some of the mud off and flush it out of the radiator fins. That should help cooling a bit. Ripped off the stainless trim. Still have a bunch of adhesive to take off.

I had some Chevy Trax? buckets stashed away. A lot nicer than the broken down stock seats. I wanted to mount them higher and farther back, mission accomplished.

Go ahead and keep the Bronco as long as you need Ford, I'm having plenty of fun right now.

That’s cute. Does it come in an adult size as well?

Are you going to change up those wheels? Some basic steelies would look great.
