Sorry, Jack. I basically wrote what you said. I must have been typing while you were.
Edit: BTW my autobox is a Discovery diesel autobox from a 300tdi, not my v8 Discovery. It works fine. I would like he r380, but my wife has a lifetime mortgage on my huevos.
The easiest part of my swap was gettin the motor shipped over here, and it was a pain in the ***. $1600 shipped? Order two and I will give you $1600 for one right now.
$10k installed is pretty good. You start coming up with extra parts you need as you go, and it adds up quickly. Are you going...
I went with the auto for two reasons: my wife said auto and the other reason is I lime automatics off-road. Easier to use the brake and skinny pedal at same time.
I do like the ability to push start a five speed but wife said it had to stay auto.
What Jack (JSQ) said is right. I did a 300 tdi in my D1. Let me tell you, it is the funnest vehicle I've ever owned. It runs absolutely great. It is not the absolte fastest rig, but I can pop 80 on the flats. That is with bigger tires and all kinds of accessories.

Sweet. I have Safari gard front and soon a Safari gard rear. I should be good then.
Steven, I'm itching for ink work. Wanna bring my current ink down just below the elbow. Wanting to stay same theme. Any ideas?

Sounds great. Perfect time for me. I'm excited!
What is the technical level of the trails? My rig isn't stock, but it isn't built to Rubicon levels yet.
I just bought a RTT. Am I going to be too top-heavy to traverse the trails?

No problemo. You make me worry because I'm getting the swine flu shot tonight when I go to work.........
Don't worry about the warehouse. I haven't picked up the tent yet. I was just curious. I am excited to get it though. Should be fun!

How does it compare with the Edgestar?

sounds good. Thanks for the update. I sent you a message on lrrforums and here. Redeem sent me another email. He got another group of tents on order. Should be there on the 10th. The used ones sound pretty nice too.
As far as dates, keep me informed. What time of year do you guys normally...
