I know that's why I bought it. I am lucky enough to have the greatest friend in the world who happened to live 15 minutes away and was able to swoop in for me.

Almost exactly like the 2 door. Love the look and functionality.

Might as well update a little. Keeping the 2 door and selling the low miler. After much deliberation the 2 door is a rarer more desirable rig to me. So the white one stayed in the New York with my best friend Jay and we have been throwing a few parts at it and he has cleaned it up preparing it for sale.

With that being said I made some updates to the 2 door.

First was swapping the front signal LED's to ZEVO's.

Then installed a new aftermarket grille and headlamp buckets.

Old one was rough to say the least

Then for my birthday I got myself a set of Toyo MT's to replace the RT's. I just love the look of the MT and wanted to change. SO the low mile perfect RT's are for sale.

I did have to replace the fuel pump over the holidays. The old one had been on its last leg for some time. When I got it apart if found the worst.

Also snagged a set of NOS flat mudflaps and installed them along with my OEM molded fronts to keep the slop off.

Im probably the only one who will vote to keep the white 4 door! Both rigs are super clean. I love what you've done with the 2 door though.

White one is long gone. Blue one with 100k more miles is in better shape. Thank you.
