looks great, go hard!

wont see many ks on the road,, if it does will be open road running,,,shes been re-geared. 8)

cant be any worse than the xj on 33s and stock gears....that thing cant go past a servo station with out shaking...


Ive got the ZJ down on 32's now, with 4.10 ratio (which should come back more into the factory realm) , and will be towing tandem with Landy on the back this Christmas. Fuel comparisons between that and towing the little camp trailer with 33's and stock gears will be an interesting exercise.

Nice truck! I had seen that for sale and thought it looked like a nice turn key truck for someone.

Looks like it flexes up well too. Any more pics on the ramp?
