    I would say Automatics, Most of the LT guys were pre runners not 4x4 and in the past only the 6 log 4x4 came in manual as an option.

    Couple shocks, some old tires, and a bad paint job
    MT All the way. Don't even bother with a 3.4 swap, go straight to LS1 or turbo the 2rz.

    i was thinking MT but realized i can manual shift the AT.
    i wanna get rid of the 2.4, she has to many miles, why not bother with the 3.4? it would be a flat run/whoops truck.

    Dont mind the audio, turn it down actiually, the fiberglass rubbing squeak sounds bad. Kinda long, super slow but theres some pretty good obstacles toward the end.

    Interesting, in the vid its pretty hard core squeak almost like you have a dirty Heim joint. Boy traffic coming back 8 from AZ was crazy, BP check points.

    Just got back from OW, was there from last Mon till Yesterday, had a blast!
    Was going to meet up with you guys but didnt know exactly were you were, maybe next time.

    The Jeep worked well, I surely need stiffer springs in the rear , but overall it worked well, even in the whoops, if you go fast enough.

    My motorcycle lasted the entire trip amazingly, lol.

    Would have loved to go on a run though that wasnt by myself...:(
