Crusin this morning, a/c on ice cold and chillin, cruisin around 60, smooth as hell, engine purring, give it some juice to pass by a line of slower cars on the interstate, thinking damn, this 16 year old thing still runs like it's brand new, and grinning while I overtake a Toyota Hybrid.

I honk at other modd'd XJ's, give TJ's a thumbs up if they're worthy enough, and give a confused look to JK's to throw them off their game.

Not to vere off-topic, but the Powerstroke is a nameplate. There have been several versions. The first gen, aka 7.3L built by International Harvester has been the most popular choice. Then they switched to a 6.0L built by Navistar, which received very poor reviews. Now they have a completely Ford engineered 6.2L that supposedly has the longevity of the old IH 7.3L.


But to get it back on track & Jeep related - what they need to do is build the Jeep Gladiator concept and stuff a Cummins in it, or at the very least, some 4 cylinder turbo diesel.
