It's been a long time since I updated... A LONG time. Haven't done a heck of a lot with her except drive her. Bought an evo IV in 2011 and so the Paj sat for quite a bit of the time, reserved for towing, kayak hauling, bike hauling, and deep snow on the commute. Fast forward a couple years.. Sold the evo (sob) mostly because premium fuel was pricey, and the range was not great (about 350kms) which meant fuel every third day. Truck went back into active DD service in 2013. Then back in Nov, I took the plunge again, this time with a new Lancer Sportback. No, it's no evo, but it'll go 800kms on a tank, and mileage is excellent. So the truck is back to fun trips again. But it's got me thinking... Maybe it's time for a gen3, which my wife could drive during the week, but I could still have fun with on weekends? We could sell her outlander, get back down to 2 vehicles again, but still have the utility we do now. Plus the 3.8 would haul our trailer better through the Rockies.

Anyway, I think to this end, my build thread for this one may in fact be finished, unless I change my mind? It's been a great truck, and I've loved this 4m40 engine. There may be a gen3 build thread under "Betsy 6" sometime in the near future? We'll see...
