When the 4.0 is in you'll appreciate it in ways you can't even think of before. I have a 2000 3.0 and a 98 4.0 and the difference is night and day, the poor little 3.0 is a dog in comparison. The 5.0 would be awesome, but Commiefornia is not real kind toward performance enthusiasts. I a friend who moved there with his old chevy which he had put a crate motor in, he had to send the car back to the east coast to his brother as they wouldn't allow him to register it.
Thank you for the kind words. Yeah most of the "prerunner" scene is 2wd. Cheaper and easier to get travel numbers out of 2wd than 4wd unless you have 4wd beams.
