Re: Working Man's Burbon

I'm hoping the seats work out. I had back surgery about five years ago and since I have found that some seats get painful on any kind of trip over 30 minutes. My S10 and our old Lexus were bad. I had a Camery rental earlier this year that was good and amazingly the bench seat in the WMB doesn't bother me. The lack of a head rest and constantly having to wedge myself in around corners does bother me. So the plan is to bolt them in and try them for a while before deciding if they are keepers.

Around town I get 11.5 mpg and didn't expect much difference from that so I am pleasantly surprised. I'm sure that there is more to be had with some work. The 3.07's were nice on the highway but I reallllllly like the driving around town with the 3.73's. Now I just need to make up my mind whether to go with a Gear Vendors or a 700r4.
