Getting there. Add off road lights, 35" tires, rear differential and axle skid platesand front and rear lockers and they have an actual "Adventure Package". I am getting hopeful.

I like it
Drop the chrome wheels etc and include a front locker (cast iron diff of course) and a manual 5-speed!!
Options like a winch, on board air would be nice too!

Why do off roaders like diesels so much? I am a little diesel ignorant, I understand the difference machanically, but performance wise what are the advantages?
I dont know about where everybody else lives but diesel is the most expensive gas around here...

With all that said, I would love to have a diesel if it were an option.

there are a few advantages to diesel over a gas engine....massive amounts of torque and HP, and even more available with a simple plug in programmer/chip/module. Where you may see 50hp from doing a pcm tune,intake,exhaust..blah blah blah on a gas motor, you can easily see gains over over 120 hp with just a programmer...the power that a diesel put out is simply amazing if you've never experienced it. Plus gas mileage...sure in todays market Diesel is equal or slightly higher than regular gas...BUT....you'll also get MUCH better MPG with diesel...MUCH better!! On a dodge ram 3500 dually 4x4 I got close to 22 mpg with the cumming diesel...and that truck was HUGE...

Diesel cost more, but goes farther. And if you put the programmers in them they will take off fairly close to a gas motor. My dad has a Dodge 3500 diesel and that damned thing will jump off the line and he can pull a heck of a lot more than a gas motor. Oh, and the "noise factor" is nothing compared to what it used to be with diesels.

I'm a diesel guy! I've driven diesel trucks for the past 11 years. In fact when I bought my first diesel truck fuel was only $.87/gal. [sm=signs007.gif] How times have changed! Better mileage, more HP & torque, no maintance except oil changes, runs forever (250,000 miles min.) and is just plain friggin' cool!
I totaled my 00' F350 Powerstroke Ext. Cab 4x4 and bought my H3 Alpha which is a real adjustment from my truck. I had my PS tweaked with all kinds of mods and got 350 hp & 700ft/tq. I used to race it at the local racetrack. Some guys in my club had more then 500hp & 900ft/tq!
If they made the H3 with a diesel I'd buy one in a New York minute!
