Definitely caught it, as I am considering the same- looks good!!

W/E bump...

Glad it went to such a good home and a great family- all the best!!

Yea, I know what you mean. When I drove the Tdi 130 out to Co, slow going at best, worse on hills, but great mileage, and a bit painful at my size :-) Picked up the LR3, straight to Black Bear and others, then pointed her east and 2k miles later, home and still fresh!! Great rigs- hope you...

I've got a few- give me a ring.

Congrats!! PM me the story on the D-II as I thought it had warranty on the 'new' motor? Anyway, you will love the LR3- wish I had kept mine, but it was so foreign for it to be so comfortable, quiet, and capable :-) I drove the 130 Tdi to Co, and the LR3 back- talk about shocking differences.

Man Felix, that is tough luck for sure. Need a cycle carrier for the KTM ;-) And it certainly does look good on the flatbed- especially that CT rack!!

Zimm- not sure as a DD, but usig the 'burb these days and actually enjoying it. resqd1- that little S-10 is near indestructible, but would consider the Ford as partial trade- always game for something new :-)

Nice trucks and a great write up/story!! The mods will interact quickly, so I will ask first- what is pricing, separately/package? Also, do you know what was massaged on Harry's motor?

Just for future reference, I have been running a set of the Cooper S/T Maxx on the 'burb, and really like them. They are quiet, wearing great, and a good aggressive A/T... And they are E rated which is nice for the full size guys who load their rigs and/or tow, etc.

I'm a bit old school, but I vote for steelies with Staun internal bead locks, worth a look... And, I have used the Hutchinson and Walker Evans, and would say both to be top notch!

Check adjustment in and out and up and down of the latch, as they can be a bit finicky- and sometimes the spacer/shim on the mounting surface can help

Felix, thought of you yesterday as a fella offered me $20k plus his 84k mile '06 big body RR(aprox $20 k value) for my '11 JKU. The RR had a list of $83.3k, and I had to turn him down as Manheim shows only mid teens for his RR. Or $70k depreciation in 6 years, and this on a prime low mile...

Before kids we used to remove the rear seat from the Disco, and built a cheap full length shelf. This provided a great sleeping area, as well as ability to carry tons of gear, extra water, etc. I prefer to carry fuel outside, which you have several options for on the JK. One big advantage was...

An honest 25mpg easily, and can achieve 28 on the flats at 65 mph. They don't like steep grades with a full load however...

I wouldn't take the financial risk myself- do an '06-'07 low mile LR3, mods available, and minimal downside risk as they are already mid to upper teens, and a great vehicle- creaky handles and all...

Bitz- welcome aboard!! Great guy, long term Rover nut, no need to be concerned if purchasing from him...

Made an aluminum mount on the end of the tool box and off the back of the headboard- the tire is a very tight squeeze with the side up, but was intentionally built as such.

Here is my old PW with a Ute bed- wish I had never sold her...
