Silver is my second least favorite available color :/ But at least it's not beige. If anyone in here has a beige car and they were offended by that... good.

Also I read the other day that it's an aluminum block, which was really surprising to me because I've always thought of Diesels as being especially heavy.

I think it'll be perfect for what you're using it for. How do the transmissions hold up?

Nice Adam. I would not go bigger than 33's. 35's I think are too much for a modest lift and stock gearing.

You're too much for stock gearing.


Transmissions are stout. Some have reported to have a water seapage issue around the dipstick, which can contaminate the trans fluid and cause shuttering at high speeds. Fix is: silicone around the dipstick tube and a trans service, I think I could handle that if I eventually have that problem.

Yes, but you can make your own diesel (if you're mental). I looked into it once, it works out to well under a dollar per galloon. Down to like $0.30/gal if you can get free greese from loca restaraunts, etc.

You can make your station on the relatively cheap.



Or go gucci.
