You can have the AWD case, but let me tell you, the driveshaft is expensive. (oh, and its a package deal)

Thanks, I am really liking them. I am anxious to see how they perform now that I have more than 2wd to test them.

over 500 miles so far (of a 1000+ road trip) and I have an average of 18.7 MPG. (highway and in city (Minneapolis) hand calculated based on actual miles driven and actual gallons used since the computer is off by a factor of 1.17)
And this is with 33s and 3.73s... Not too shabby!

1144 miles, and 63.7 gallons of gas later... I have a total (highway and stop and go Minneapolis rush hour traffic) of 17.959 MPG.
Not to mention that there is no vibrations, and everything works great. One other thing, there was almost 500 lbs of gear (tools, ammo, guns) in the back.
That is something to be happy about.

I did a little bit of calculating, and as of right now, I have $3460 into the Mountaineer, and that includes the original purchase price of the truck.
Not bad.

You can, but people wouldn't listen. 20+ out of anything with 285 KM2 tires is nothing to sneeze at.
