Between working, School, and other little things I am doing to the truck, The chrome trim is really the least of my worries right now...At the top of my list, getting this damn starter back in

Thanks budd !! As far as power goes, this thing just seems to have alot better throttle response, and the whole truck itself feels lighter. Hell, My dads 99runner with the same engine still felt quicker then my ol 91.
With 150 HP on tap in a 4500lb truck its not laggin the least bit...Compared to about 110hp on a good day with the 22re. Dont get me wrong I loved that old engine, but this is a major step up...
Oh, Idk if anyone but algranger knows, But since I got it the truck has been having hard start and one day just wouldnt start, I knew it wasnt the battery, So I replace the starter contacts and she starts up without hessitation , Now my weekend in the desert can continue without a hitch !!

Was it just the torque that made it better off road? Did it flex any better?

Ill say this, The tourqe of the motor and with 4.10's and the same tires, compared to the 91 (with 4.10's) made it seem easier to finnese through things..
And take a look at the last pic in post one..

I think the front actually does flex better compared to the 91, but the rear on this thing has an AAL and the rear flew blows. My shocks are also limiting the rear flex but that will be solved soon...
