If anyone is in the market for a CJDR vehicle in the Boise area (or within reasonable flying distance) shoot me a PM and I’ll put you in touch with the sales manager that helped me




After lunch, hit the road for the 400+ mile drive home; lots of open range and farmland. Just made it back a bit ago…now to sleep so I can go to work tomorrow lol. Thanks for checking out the pics everyone!

Wow, that's worth the trip for sure. Looks like a Laramie with a Sport package. That's the best-looking package, mean and comfortable, lots of technology in there. Congrats and enjoy! I had the white for about 4 1/2 years and just recently sold it. No problems at all with it

As a 11 year Lexus employee this is the largest drop and most exciting in my time with them…I 1000% will be getting that exact rig

Right? Not sure if I hold out for the earth over trail + or just take the first over trail in an acceptable color. Will have to wait and see.

Congrats on the awesome new truck. I daily a Rebel and love the thing.

My lease is coming up and I’m pretty sure I’ll be either buying it back or leasing another. Just worried to get the mild-hybrid 48v with the Hemi. I currently have the standard V8. I heard some scary things about the hybrid one not starting and not being able to be jump-started, so that’s the only thing that makes me question getting another new one

Thanks!! And for me I wasn’t too worried about it; especially in a lease it come with nationwide roadside and free towing so unless you’re way out in the middle of nowhere (maybe in my wife’s Rubicon but not this truck) I was less concerned. How far out from lease end are you? If you’re less than 6 months PM me; don’t want to hijack the thread but there’s some important info you should have if you’re nearing lease end.

Rich, your garage is nicer than my house!! Looks great and a fantastic collection!!

My congratulations or condolences on the divorce, depending on your thoughts about it. Either way, you’ve got my wishes.

So is the garage done now?

Adding a lift?

Hi. Thank you. Yes I have a 392 but it’s a 2022 granite metallic. There’s a couple pictures of it earlier in the thread.

Hi. Thank you very much! The garage is basically done, just a little trim work upstairs, still have to add toilet, sink, refrigerator, etc.… And then the painters will come back and do touchups. Thank you for the congratulations on the divorce… Yes, I’m very happy! That being the case though… I don’t need a lift right now… Lol!! Her four cars left and went to Florida. I had to revamp the car collection, just a bit, as well as the Watch collection, but I’m very happy with what I have!

I’ve always wanted a mid-80s Mercedes turbo diesel and picked up this pristine 1985 300sd this week.

The Mercedes-Benz OM617 inline 5 cylinder turbo diesel is considered to be one of the most reliable motors ever produced and has been nicknamed the million mile motor. It’s being delivered tomorrow.

Awesome Richard! Really spectacular garage/car hotel.

Best Wishes in the future may the divorce soon be so far in the rear view mirror that you can't see it. Peace & Love in everything.

New to me 2020 Chevrolet Silverado RST with 51K miles. 5.3L V-8, 4WD, full bed liner. The perfect truck for towing boats, bombing through snow and hauling cut trees in the lake and forest region of "Up North" Minnesota.
