Yeah, I know. Kinda floored me when I was able to get it.

Yep, exactly, I thought the same, so we tried to modify it to bring it up to date, but at the same time making sure it didn't look too different. I think we succeeded. We spent a long time talking about things like tire sizes - we wanted a bit more rubber on the sidewall like a Hot Rod instead of a Hot Wheels, but had to stay EXACTLY within the same percentage difference in diameter front to rear on order for the AWD gearing to work properly. We also spent a lot of time finding just the right distressed leather, then have some of it perforated to slightly update the look.
