November 2009 T4ROTM - Roams001

[Roams001]

Thank you. It's a lot of fun to drive! I only had it at Rausch Creek for that weekend. I still haven't taken delivery of it due to a bad coilover seal. As soon as that gets rebuilt, I'll provide more detailed pictures and provide some behind the wheel feedback.

Thats a freakin beast !!!! Would like to see some off road pics ..

So uh, bored with it yet? Or, if not, perhaps I could interest you in a ride in a $50 million fighter aircraft in exchange for an open ended "loaner rig" arrangement. I'm thinking something where you provide me with your rig in exchange for a predetermined amount of my earth dollars and various other "incentives". There must be something I have that you want.

 

[Roams001]

How you been man! Like a timesharing agreement?

Let's see, you throw the supercharger in there... :lol:

 

[4Runner8]

would u sell it right now if someone offered u 75,000 dollars?? just for shits and giggles

 

[Roams001]

I'd be tempted, as long as they aren't from Nigeria :

 

[4Runner8]

so im guessing your truck is worth less than 75k then, if u were to sell it for a fair price how much would u sell it for??

My dad always told me I would just know it when I finally fell in love. Now I know what he meant! That truck is fuken sweet!!!! :bravo:

 

[Roams001]

Worth and Cost are two different things. It's not worth what it cost me to do it. That's why it's always cheaper to buy a built rig (unless you can do all your own fab). Go to the Classifieds in IH8MUD and Pirate4x4 and you'll see what I mean.

Worth...Probably not more than a brand new loaded 5th Gen (and that's only to certain people). To the mainstream, it's worth less since it's not stock.

Cost...Like I said earlier, 1 truck for the price for 2




What is it worth to me? It's worth every penny I spent on it.

 

[4Runner8]

well in that case i hope u are going to hold on to it until its got at least a solid 150k miles on it....dont u only have like 30k something now???

 

[Roams001]

Hopefully it will last as long as some of the LandCruisers...20-30 years. May have to turn it in to a trailer queen at some point...but hopefully not in the near future.

I would LOVE to take a ride in your rig Roams!....lol...

 

[Roams001]

So would I! :cry2:

The owner of IPOR and I spoke yesterday about the bad coilover and the fact that they need to step up and just finish the darn thing...should have resolution by next weekend (I hope).

You're rockin the American Racing CHAMBER wheels.
Me too bro. The rig looks amazing

4runner8...see, one just popped up...awesome 80 for $6200...add some bumpers and a Slee lift...you've got a hell of a truck for about 10K.

I think you might have voided your warranty in a couple of areas.

Awesome dude.
