On the other hand, they are new enought to have come standard with alot of the comforts we expect today like power steering, power disc brakes, tilt, A/C, factory 4x4 option, auto trans etc. You can easily swap in even newer parts if you desire like 4 wheel disc, fuel injection and a large amount of other aftermarket parts.

My sentiments exactly!!
