I'm in Lubbock right now, but when I come back to Dallas I'd love to come show it off!

- It was expensive for me since everything had to be done custom. Now that we have mounts made and other custom parts, it'll be substantially cheaper for everyone after me. The body was pretty much free for me, but I've seen LR3's with blown motors sell for 3-4k all the time.


Yes, this is the one. Have you seen it around!?
I saw the old engine / transmission listed, and sent a few referrals to the shop up there. I don't know much about your build out, but it seems pretty awesome. I can't imagine how the mileage increased so much, amazing..

better mileage ?
this is what I am getting and that is with AT tires. When I had GW my computer would show 490/500 miles range after a fill up.
