walkerhoundvm's rebuild thread

[walkerhoundvm]

So you bought it? Do you love it? I can't believe your head doesn't hit the roll bar. I was heart broken I didn't fit.

If I went for the auto I'd have done the diesel myself. The manual non-diesel gets another 2 mpg, which is decent. 27 mpg on the diesel is nothing to sneeze at. My baby duramax got 31 mpg before I lifted it, 3" lift and I'm averaging 26mpg.

My scrambler gets 13 mpg with the 351w, but I figure with the joy factor it equates closer to 30 mpg.

I'm still settling in with it. Took the doors and top off to see how involved it was and to let the 4y/o experience sitting in the kid seat without doors.

I looked at the diesel, but a quick calculation came up with a 20yr/300k mile pay-off.

I can make my head hit the roll cage, but there's enough room. The side mirrors might need some help, it's tricky merging into traffic. Might just pick up some convex mirrors to stick on, but it'd be nice if there were something more permanent.

Is that Gladiator the snazzleberry color?? I really like that color.

I'm not a fan of reds, but I like this color best of all the current offerings. They had a 2020 in Gator, but it was a buyback and I got the sense it might be a lemon.
