Hey congrats on the move! I drove my 3.0 from AZ to MN a couple years ago and I was never uncomfortable not even once in there.
The aluminum pulley is definitely worth it if you havent gotten that one yet for that pump(if thats even the one that broke on ya)
I'm trying to find a way to move back south asap too, either AZ or TX. I got a few friends from TX and I love the hospitality they have down there!
So..flying huh...I like flying too
Anywho, glad to see the x behaved good for ya
and looks good too!
