Thanks Mike, that's the plan. I figure as long as I have it written up 2-3 times I can have some recourse down the line if it goes. I'm the 19th appointment today, so they may not get to it 'til tomorrow anyway.

 

addressing the original question here (besides the obvious visuals):
'03 lost the CDL (sucks for those, like me, that really like to play off-road)
the suspenssion was reworked, new bushings mainly = quieter and firmer but not harsh
more sound deadening material = quieter on the road
re the new (haha) engine, i'm starting a new post look at it if you can

 

The difference in price is something you will have to wait for (03 vs. 04). I had to save extra lunch-money for the 04, but worth the wait! I stole the wife's lunch money too.

Part A Cosmetic Stuff (needed)
Part B All that "keep your vehicle on the road stuff" (needed, but transparent)
Part C (MOST IMPORTANT) you will need and use is LOCKING DIFF!

I say again, get the 04, even an S model, you still get most bells and whistles and most importantly you have that #1 Option to Lock the Center Differential.

If you are having problems finding the right deal (on a personal level) PM me and I will find what you want. I know most reputable dealers and independants from Miami to Atlanta!

Dave
