I am interested in this as well for the future. I have no experience, but I do remember reading on other forums about people bitching about all the stone chips coming from them on broncos. I don't know why it would be any different than any other tire though.

Step dads JL did this and it’s the reason he just traded it on a new bronco. I don’t even think it needs to be in a salt environment.

I think we will just have to agree to disagree on this. I just know that there isn’t a jeep built that’s worth over $50k no matter what the options are.

That still goes back to my point for the time period. Many early 2000's vehicles still had 4-5 spd autos and maybe you 6 if you were manual. That was the tech of the era. Same with motors, most HP number numbers from that era are low just like our TJ / LJ's. The only stuff touching 300 HP + back...

Cut that number in half!!

I get where you are coming from with a technology in the new ones, but I do think its an apples to apple comparison myself. A top of line Rubicon in 06 had all the available technology for the time in it. As technology improves I would expect that all the most recent tech would be in a 24. Yeah...

I have mine covered for $30,000.

That's what happens when you price out the majority of your consumers. My fully loaded 06 LJR was $28,500.00 new. Plug that into an inflation calculator, a new fully loaded Rubicon should be $45K. A lot of items are going to start seeing this trend.

The one I rented was a SR5, if it had more comfortable seats it wouldn’t be as bad. But it was nothing special.

Yeah, I hadn’t been in a newer one ever and at one point last year was going to get one for the wife but we bought her a new Highlander instead. After the past 2 days, I’d never consider one of the latest generation. I be been in an older, I think 2008 and that was nice from what I remember. I’m...

Yeah, I was actual surprised how much I didn’t care for the 4Runner. Spent 4 hours in it yesterday and 6 today and my body feels it. The hour I spent in the GX was pure comfort. I didn’t really care for the looks of the GX that much until I saw the green version. The only other color I’d...

Yeah, I ended up rented a 24 4Runner to drive down today, thought it would make a good comparison since they share the same frame. It was crazy how different the GX was compared to the 4Runner. 4Runner was more truck like and felt like it was bouncing down the road. The GX had a more solid...

Well the search continues for a Green GX. Drove 3 hours down to Virginia today and was not pleased with the condition of the one at Carmax. Last week had asked for any photos of scratches, chips, dents etc. Saleman sent one photo that had some light scratches, nothing major. Well after seeing it...

I really don't plan to modify the GX if I end up with one. Maybe wheels and definitely more aggressive tires, that's it. I don't need a third "project" vehicle.

The Lexus has a different transmission. Everything I've researched about GX 460 is that the driveline is pretty bullet proof, low tech, and reliable. It's pretty much a toyota land cruiser prado, that can be found overseas everywhere. So far working through Carmax and everything is good, hoping...

I am working on getting the financing for the Lexus right now (For whatever reason the credit union I'm trying out is taking forever). That way on Sunday when I go look at it, if it all checks out, I can purchase it. I came to the conclusion that if I went with the F150 I would probably end up...

So that’s where it gets tricky, I was originally planning to keep whichever I choose, well past the warrantee. Thinking 8-10 years probably. The Lexus doesn’t scare me in that regard, but the ford does. I really don’t like the looks of the tundra much. For some reason the F150’s just appeal to...

If I had the money to buy new, I’d go for the 250 as well. They are only a couple grand more than the 150’s when comparing new. My max OTD is around $55k though. I think I’m going to test both this week and see if that helps decide, will probably make the decision harder. Gotta figure out by...

I’ll be honest the only reason I want the tremor is because I like the looks of it, hood, grill, wheels etc. I like that it’s different than the majority of F150’s out there. That’s where the GX in Nori green is for me as well. There was only 2,000 made in that color and I’ve never personally...

That’s where I checking them out at. Just not sure what route to take.
