I think itd be awesome to have that 4 door Bronco. but I don't think it'd be wise to use for dune hopping. not sure how itd hold up, but I could be wrong.

Plus a 1/2 ton with a diesel, is cool but you'd need a SAS to do it right, the TTB isnt made for the weight or the torque.

With the 4 door Bronco, I would have a hard time feeling I had a "Bronco" per say. I like the shortness and overall feel of a stock size unit. I would have to have a normal one plus the 4 door.

That 4 door is unique and looks good for the money so it really depends on what you want in the long run. Sounds like less work to get you where you want to be by purchasing the 4 door. Better hurry too.....

Break-over angle is terrible on the Centurions. Approach and departure being similar to the Bronco are ok but you'll hang it up in the middle with every hill you crest.
