You ever want to resale it would start a bidding war lol, and I would be the first in line. I love the old SJs my dad had one and they are almost unbeatable when it comes to toughness and off-road ability! Welcome and we are glad you join CF

Thanks, that's what I've heard too. I'm anxiously waiting for opening day to any off road park. They all seem to open in May
