M-715

Well, since the MJ burned, and the YJ gets about 10 MPG, the 715 (with the 366 Tall Deck big block.. ), having the same gas mileage as the 4cylinder YJ, gets the nod as the daily driver.


Yeah, it's got an overheating problem.  Yep, it's the loudest driver any of us now own.  Yep, it is hot and not really comfortable to drive.

But man, is it cool!!!!

I sleep about 4 hours more a night now, thanks to driving this truck... up from my normal 6 hours.  It's got PSC power steering, and Vanco Hydroboost... but still it takes a lot out of me to drive around.

See, being an editor... we gotta move around a bunch of parts.  They all get shipped to the Wilshire office... and then we gotta take them home for our installs... like you guys, we install our stuff in our driveways.  Unlike you guys... we can do that this time of year without tents and torpedo heaters (nyaahhh, nyaaahhh)
