Good stuff, I have a little experience with diesels with bull dogs. If they will list one of those as option,, I'd gladly pay that price.... bye bye warrantee I suppose. Hello smiles.

Ya,, looks like we can label it an engineering envelope.... It is just a curious variable I am always trying to get a finger on, kinda like somebody said,, will make big difference in selecting tranny.. And,,, will also show on performance while hooked...
I have been curious about this as well.. So, I start thinking out of the box a bit,,, and 15 hp jumps out at me... I recognize that as the amount of hp it takes to run an AC pump... well, at least a few years back..... so, I question,, 70 hp with...
It was on FB, and have seen in a couple other places.
Here is another pretty recent piece in AUTO TRENDS MAG.. 2-12-14... No review, just a little more of samo samo... but not ignored...

Power steering is about more than assisting the movement of wheels... I have to believe that manual steering will be used to make the price target,, but if power steering is an option when they ask me for my final order,,, it will have to be real expensive...
ya,, makes the hair stand up on your neck for sure... just think of the thrill that was to be 19 or 20 and getting your butt strapped into one of those babies.... I think if I had the chance now,, it wouldn't be too hard for me to go right back to...
Yep,, my bad,,, I didn't go back far enough,, but was brought to my attention,,, I rescind the "till your post",,, with regret, but stand by the rest of the hyperbole I offered. hehehee all in good humor.

Yes,,, a lot of misquotes,,,,, but I have never seen 0 to 100 in 9.6 yet,,, till your post... 0 to 60 in 9.6,,, anybody can do it, it is up to us to grin and bear it,,, only a couple posters I would want to bare it,,, but we are all having fun...
Remember back in the 60's when they built new sport models and pitched sales on a bare bones rig. Had a heck of a time selling them for under 3 grande. then,, they put plush seats in them, AC. PW. PS. chrome splashed all over,, weight went up, mileage down...
Totally agree, but I don't expect the factory to put them on for me... And I sure haven't got a clue where they have to be put on this rig to ENHANCE. Just smearing them all over to be noticeable is a little bit ????????? hillbilly?????????? Not to accuse...
I think Jay has enough cash, compassion, and understanding of things to get it done,,, There may be a little bit of technicality however, and 0001 may be a reserved number to go on an actual number 25 to 50 off assembly line..... They have to crush some...
That is the cross country version,,, these guys are talking about tracking on the road,,, I think what they are talking about is a concern for rural areas, where gravel roads, or deep weighted rutty roads are of norm, or driving on a freshly snowed over road...
