I'm guessing its a 2.8, as for gears it will already have 4.6's (but if they want to swap I got some 4.1's)

yeah but i got my 4.6's off a guy who had one of these wen he put on his 35"s it suffered to much so he went 4.8"s



n yeah i kinda realised it was a typo

yeh sorry made a typo i meant 2.8lt :)
i was abit worries about getting a 2.8 becasue a few ppl said they were slugs, i drove a few 2.8's turbos and a few 4.2 n/a diesels and the 2.8 turbo had heaps more kick.

And since i wont be towing anything, maybe a smalle camping trailer.. so shouldnt really see much difference between the two.
