Just wanted to say what a great community this is. I really appreciate all the questions that were answered and insight given. It helped me make a leap of faith that has turned out better than I ever could have imagined. It's in phenomenal condition inside and out, easily a 4.0/A vehicle (Jesse, am I right? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />) . Now that I've been driving it for several days, I can confirm that I'm going to be one very happy owner for a long time. It's a near-perfect vehicle for me, an out-of-the-box choice like the police-packaged civvie car I've been driving for 6 years now. Once I get the urban-survival toolbox into the back and install some other goodies like a fire extinguisher, it's going to basically be perfect. Special thanks to jfarsang (Jesse) for scouting out tires for me and running me down to the dock to get the Pajero!
