Thanks Adrian. Man, the price of that one makes me question how bad I really want this. It's essentially twice what I'd be paying through Charlie, though Charlie doesn't have access to any. Looks like the auction ends next weekend, I'll have to do some 'soul searching' over the next few days and see where that leads.

I've been researching other brands/vehicles to do a conversion with. There don't seem to be any good alternatives. With Toyota, there are some options, but the half cut is really costly. Other brands don't offer 'bolt in' options like the 4J/Trooper does.

The only possible alternative I've dound is a VW diesel into a Suzuki Samurai. Again, I have to do my 'soul searching' to figure out what I really want. I had my heart set on the Trooper for a few months now, hard for me to change direction. There's always the question of if a motor will show up next week. Never know.

We'll talk soon.
