    Psych! No, it's not a Z, but it pulls one on my trailer!

    33x12.5x17" wheels & tires

    Banks Power Turbo, IC, Intake, Exhaust, SpeedBrake kit & Programmer - good for 457 hp & 791 ft/lbs of torque!

    44 gallon fuel tank!

    Holy E36 M3 Batman! 21.1mpg in a 9175 pound truck!

    Not fixing all of them, but here is one fixed picture.

    Anytime somebody tells you that vodka mixes well with anything, slide them a jar of mayonnaise and tell them to practice what they preach.

    HAHAHA!! GRM didn't like the length of the URL's. I had to Tiny them up so they wouldn't get munged by the forum software...

    Lots and LOTS of Datsuns...

    You bought, literally, one of the best diesels ever. And they are so rare, definitely a toss up between one of these and a Cherokee diesel (the Extinction wins in the go big or go home category, plus that glorious 7.3L!)

    Rallying; It's like skydiving, except you have to dodge trees on your way down!

    That was our tow vehicle to the Challenge. We had our entire shop in the car (sans hoist), 5 guys, and pulling a car on a trailer. We averaged 17mpg there and back.

    obligatory ZAV reference..

    i just like that it has a proper solid axle in the front that has the proper manual lockout hubs, with the body sitting on proper leaf springs..

    Why did I just read that in Jeremy Clarksons voice?

    I am jealous. I know someone that says with the 7.3 programed for fuel economy he gets into the low 30s mpg. 8 minutes of reprograming and he's back to the power side. So if you have the Banks programmer it might be worth checking settings.

    Just curious: can you lay down flat a 4'x8' sheet of whatever with the seats out/folded flat? (I was having a discussion comparing my dad's new to him '90 'Burb to this exact vehicle...)

    what does a guy have to give for a rig like that?

    spending money I don't have to buy parts I don't need to impress people I don't know

    That's pretty nuts. That's like twice what the gasoline version will do.

    I am seriously jealous. I covet the diesel Excursion something fierce.

    Go fast or go broke.

    Supercool - I love Diesel 4x4 Excursions. However, I'm pretty sure that this is a 6.0 not a 7.3.
