I'm torn, or was till i decided i wanted my 73 K5 Blazer back. if you're interested in buying the XJ cheap let me know. been lots of helpful ppl here with some great insight and for those of you that won't be missed you weren't important anyways.

Even re gearing I don't see it getting any better than 10 MPG but dammit they look good

Hate to see you go, but can understand. As a guy who's driven many trucks that have gotten around 5 mpg, I know you do it because you love it, not for the mpg. Good luck with the K5!
