1st gen Royal Blue 4unner availability?
Hey cats. BigBluePile and I jokingly started a RB4R group (Royal Blue 4 Runners) and after all the laughing was done I realized that I haven't seen another one anywhere. I started my search for this exact 1st gen in this exact color (blue outside, gray inside) and found it pretty quickly. Heck I figured they were everywhere.
Does anyone know if this was a paint scheme that just didn't sell? Or some dealer only option?
Just trying to find out if we are special.

What kind of special? 
I found one right before I bought my current one. She was selling for 1500 with a clutch going out. She must have received a ton of calls, she wouldn't return my calls after she agreed to sell it to me and she pulled the ad. I saw it up a month later for 2500, with no mention of a new clutch. Thats my story, hope you've enjoyed it. Tell your friends.

How did I know you would be the first to reply?
I'd say I'm sorry you didn't get that one but your rig is so clean that it makes me cry little blue tears of joy. You did well buying yours.

At least I didn't make your thread weird, right?
I think I made out ok. When the lady handed me the stack of receipts, and I opened it and saw the original window sticker, I handed over the cash.
And Logan could have responded first, your little RB buddy.

Anywho, I've never seen a 'Runner that has the same color AND has the same body/hood decals. However, there is a truck here on the island that DOES match excactly to mine.

I haven't seen anyone with my half pressure washed off, part primer hood decal I got going. It'll be awhile before I can get it repainted though. Its kinda like the back of your head, don't really care how it looks, I can't see it whether I got a haircut or not.

You going with 4.88's now? I thought "31's were as big as you ever needed"
Ok, I know you didn't say those exact words, but I figure I would quote you anyways. Libel!! Slander!!

Not yet. Shipping quotes to arrive next week but I'm getting it.
Yes 31's are as big as I'll go. I almost screamed tonight though since there is a 4.88 IFS diff for sale in the classifieds for 200$ plus shipping.... WITH AN AUSSIE! Dang it!
I already agreed to buy the 4.56 and I won't back out on a deal with a YT member. It's like sleeping with your best friends sister..... makes the relationship harder.

Some folks do and I would also if I had not already agreed to the sale. The benefit is off road. You have a little better crawl ratio. Then of course there is the option to go with 33's later but that opens up another can of worms.

Dang, I guess we DO wander off topic a little. Can I get a sign that just says SPAM! I like Spam.

I need a sunshine pic to tell for sure. Can we get a ruling?
BTW, yours is way too shiny to join the RB4R club.

Eh, I made it up. I have seen almost a navy blue and what bbp and Junkers have for their royal blue. Pretty sure your in. Time to get cracking on a snorkel or front and rear lockers! Jk.
