has anyone here done the 3b into lux conversion before? if so how does it go? can the drive line handle the power and weight?
Would love to swap the surf for a deck. Damn dogs in the back stink.

Those trusty old 3Bs Go forever

Good to know. How much "power"do these engines produce?i currently have a 2lte surf. Would it be simmilar to this?
What do you guys think of the price?what would be a fair price for a ute like this?
Im very tempted to sell the surf (if someone will buy it ) and get this.
How bad are they on the road with solid front?

ya gonna do more onroad than off? ie is this ya daily driver? the beam fronts are good.. good ole 3b's keep tickin.. my 40, 'ole rusty', has one and when i take her out it just ticks away all day and never misses a beat.. i'm happy with the way it performs.. surely the 3.4 goes better than the 2lte thingy?

as for price, as long as certed i think its a good price...

happy shoppin!!

thats my 2c worth though..

Yup this wouldbe the daily driver. Although use it off road most weeks and need something reliable in the rough.
It is all certed so think ill have a good look at it.

You'll have no reliability problems with the 3B. They should be called the Energizer engine cause they just keep going and going and going
