Pulled another Jeep out today

Today I had a friend call and tell me his friend was stuck...
So I loaded up, when I got there to pick them up the guy started telling me his jeep was stuck. He went on to tell me it was buried to the axls and that it was only a stock jeep. Then I knew he was screwed....
As he was admiring my yota, he went on to tell me how the yota's were built to go off road better than the jeeps, bone stock (which is the way mine is for now, except the BFG's) and they sit higher. I just continued to let him talk. He carried on about how great the yota's were for a bit then we decided to go and pull him out.
It took all of TWO minuites. It took longer to hook up the straps than to pull him out
After we got back we talked for a bit longer and the he finally popped the question.
"YOU WANNA SELL IT?" Yall know what my reply was. "NAW", with a big grinn.
He said "I can't blame you I wouldn't sell it neither." Then he said " that thing is probably worth at least 5 or 6 grand."
I just grinned some more....
Im not good at telling storied on a keyboard, but in a nut shell thats how it went..

I would drive my truck to Alabama for $6 grand if he is interested. Then I could buy two at real world prices.

Yea, I'm not sure he had the money to offer but, if he did I might have to give it some thought. Mine runs great with very little problems (knock on wood). That would mean starting over with something i'm not so sure about. Although I did find an 85 4runner I would really like to have....

Yea, Buy one at real world price and put a paint job on it like that and see what you will want for it....

Some people ask why put a nice paint job on one and wheel it. I like to wheel and look good or maybe I have my priorties backards, IDK
