Just a 5 hours drive! Just don’t pump gas in California

Purchased from SoFlo customs, shipped it to California, fiber glass made, pretty light and strong.

All I can say about that is "Boring"

I pictured it in my head the way I wanted it and I got it there, i think after my baby I haven’t been able to drive the truck as much anymore. I’ve gotten few offers but I will most likely just sell the truck without the wheels and the cover.

That is a pretty common story. Having kids has a way of rebalancing priorities when it comes to our toys and hobbies.

No.

Some regrets, but no regrets to go back to stock.

These trucks are fantastically capable in stock form.

Update, I have the wheels and top for sale now, if you’re in the LA county California and you’re interested let me know!

If it makes you feel better, I thought I wanted all those cool long arms and beadlocks, bar doors and lights. Sure they look cool, and you get bragging rights, but then I thought about it, and my OTHER goals. Those mods would add well over $15k into a vehicle that, I honestly would probably never get to use more than MAYBE once and then I'd just look at it...like Harley and Ducati owners do.

Then I got a dog. Not quite a kid, but being hit by a car on a motorcycle a few years ago combined with him is close enough for now. Like you said, perspective. But don't forfeit something you enjoy and can be useful in the long term for a moment of doubt. I sometimes think about getting rid of the JT too, but then I remember how expensive it is to rent a truck, or simply have the 4x4 abilities my built wrx could never achieve (no matter how much I thought it could).

Unless you NEED the money, or truly don't enjoy the truck EVER anymore (not just time constraints), I wouldn't sell it if I were you.

Kids grow up, and I see so many kids jaws open when they see my JT (stock with MTs) in the summer with the doors/top off. One time a kid got so excited that I told their dad "hey man, if he wants a picture in the driver seat, go ahead and have him hop in" and that really made their whole day.

I found after having kids i was on the road more and my Youngest is now 12. The only vehicle I sold due to "kids" was my single cab F250 as i had 3 kids and it was not practical.
The JT has become my 3 kid go to vehicle, we even took it to FL From New Hampshire and the kids said it was more comfortable than our suburban
