Pretty much ready for the scrap heap. I'll take care of disposing of it if you'd like. I'll give you the $750 in scrap metal value and I can pick it up whenever is convenient.
Just let me know.

That much for a burnt out light bulb? Wow, I knew the S2000 was desirable but didn't know people wanted the broken parts from it!
SamDoe1, how do you like the Trailhawk? The miss wants the new 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk over the Lexus GX. Curious on your experience on reliability. I know the Jeep will probably outperform it on the off-roading.

Note that I have the normal Cherokee and not the Grand Cherokee...
But that said, I like it. It's a decent daily driver but other than that it's your normal pretty dull crossover unless you're taking it off road. If you're not going to do that, buy the CRV or RAV4 and be done with it. They'll be more reliable and hold their value better. For the reliability of the Jeep, it's been great. Only issue I've had was a squeaky idler pulley which was replaced under warranty. Aside from that, it has been 24k trouble free miles and that includes a good amount of off road driving. I plan on giving mine to the wife and getting something more entertaining to drive in the next few months but not because of reliability or anything like that.
FWIW, the Lexus GX, with some mods like new bumpers, will be MORE off road capable than the GC Trailhawk as it is essentially a Land Cruiser Prado with some leather seats and low hanging bumpers. If you're not going to go off road beyond a gravel road, don't buy either. Seriously.
This was a friends car up here in NC. He sold it and guess it made it's way down to TX and was not changed up one bit by the new owner from the looks of it.

Yeah, I wish I had the funds to build a GX rig. They look pretty awesome with a snorkel and metal bumpers.

i love our 1G GX... i'd never get it off road worthy but for the few times i needed to get out of some deep areas, i was surprised at the 4WD capabilities for being a plush Lexus...

The bumpers are honestly the only thing holding the GX back and especially so on the newer ones. Some new bumpers that have better approach and departure angles would make the truck a beast pretty fast. Also, please don't add a snorkel to anything unless you actually need it lol.

Of course! Drilling into exterior sheet metal is no joke.
I haven't put rear diff, locker, and transfer case breathers on yet, but Toyota was nice enough to at least route a breather for the front diff and actuator high up in the engine bay in the FJ.
This isn't that deep, but a few years ago a Wrangler in our group stalled out in the middle of a water crossing. Water went up to his headlights.
It's funny because I used to think they looked dorky af when they were first introduced. But then after seeing a bunch of different setups, lifted with beefy mud terrains, different bumpers, etc. I grew to really like them. It's a much better daily driver than a Wrangler, and the FJ was cheaper back then as well.
