Can’t believe I did not know its name was Ferdinand. The shop sure looks familiar. The box looks great on that.

Slow and steady. Bought it 2 years ago while at the final stages of a pop top 4Runner build. The runner was just too small for what we needed in the end. Was cool though

Really like the change from dually to single rear tires. Those big knobby tires look great!
