Nice dent in the front corner above the headlight on the curve of the quarter panel.

Cool. Suppose I'll try and pull the dent out but the paints gonna crack. Awesome.

I didn't even notice that TDub didn't thank me.

One down, two to go*.






*There's zero chance I haven't regaled Kcrim with the story of how at ~ age 11 I hit the first 3 pheasants I ever shot at, with a .410 single shot shotgun, I still have today.



Oh, and sorry about your vehicle. I think that should be seen as an omen. A sugn that confirms you need a new one, or two, not to mention what people will think if you drive around in a dented car/truck with paint that's chipping.

That Volvo is pretty bad ass...but in those driving conditions, I would go with the 4Runner.

(that really hurts me to say, but I understand not everyone is a Jeep fan)

I had a Tacoma I loved. I do think the Volvo is probably a higher quality vehicle.

A jeep doesn't really make sense for us and our set up currently.

But yea, I mean we've got roughly 3 miles on rock/gravel each way everyday taking kids to school. Wintery days we can go the long route and stay on pavement but our road, despite technically being a county road, almost never gets plowed. So, its either rock and gravel, or snow and ice, or both nearly daily for 9 months a year.

I think the Volvo would actually probably do just fine. But I like the higher clearance etc of the 4runner. I actually prefer the appearance and body style of the 4runner too.

Again tho, inventory is low and prices are high. So, we shall see what all shakes out.

I loved that Jeep.

The concept is intriguing. With 60 " wide bed and you can fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood? I want to know what the ground clearance is. It's a tool, not a fashion accessory. I don't really care what it looks like if it does the job well.
