Well done sir !

So how long until your driving her, I cannot wait to compare notes on the driving characteristics now that I just started driving mine

Steve
I'm actually driving it now... still with the 2F and 4spd. Ordering parts this week for the LS conversion but probably will wait for winter to take it back apart... (I know, why didn't I already have the parts here... had to make sure the wife was still behind it after a year in interior jail)

It really is different to drive, the "handling" takes some getting used to. We have all new Emu springs and shocks and while I think the ride quality is really good for what it is.... it does seem to "wallow" a bit when getting on and off the throttle. We discussed going to a larger wheel / shorter sidewall tire but I'm resisting because I really like the look it has now... I did order a set of sway bars to try, off road articulation will never be a concern at the mall.....
