Not throwing shade. I'm legit excited. I love Tacos, especially ones with extra guac.

The Turd Bro, yeah I mean if you're loading out an OR anyway it isn't a bad deal. If you don't care about leather and the other things like auto climate or whatever then it's a shit deal. That green is kickass, the rarity is neat, and I'm sure despite what Detroit thinks, the shocks are actually a real ride improvement (based on every single review of the bro I've read).
The Fox shocks are epic. The are exactly what I was going to put on any FJ I was going to purchase, and that's around 2k+ Install (likely myself) but either way this comes STANDARD.

So here is my issue with the Off road. I would HAVE TO MOD IT. And I hate modding, as it's money down the drain.
-TRD Off road are impossible to find in "base" non leather trim with led lights in manuel, so I'd have to get new lights
-Trd off road comes with a shit stereo, and yes I would either add a sub or need the JBL system which only comes on 43.5K loaded off roads vs a 45.5k PRO at which point it is a non issue
-I don't really care for leather much, but it is "nicer" so I am not going to pretend like it won't be a nicer vehicle when it is fully decked out

that said I am still semi open to both, because the Off road is still in fact a bit cheaper, but the PRO is measurably nicer for me. Ironically it comes down to color, the current TRD pro colors are hideous, contractor white, dust black, camry gray or ARMY GREEN. The off road has the epic blue, the epic sandstone and CEMENT, all 3 of which I prefer to the green.
Yeah there's a few sement colored tacos/4R's in my hood and they look cool. Primer gray works on a butch off roady truck. Sandstone or bright ass orange are the colors I'd be seeking out, but all 3 you mentioned are awesome. I do like that army green though. And I think these look primo in black, honestly, but I'd never get another black vehicle as it's too much of a pain in the ass.

There is perfectly optioned black :manuel: one 5 min outside the woman’s house.. and a Camry gray one 30 min out. And then I have about another 6 white ones

Fleet spec white. I worked in too many industrial settings where every single vehicle owned by the company was fleet white to be OK with buying a truck that looked like a fleet vehicle. But that's just my personal preference. Clearly people like them.

I added it already ... but I think semi yea. We get a bit confused on here where we have some folk that drive their sig others cars all the time. And others that never touch it... so perhaps a rule is in order ?
Must accumulate 50% or more Miles ... something to think about as a collective
