Sounds like a great trip. Since finishing the resto on my van (which I drive most weekends) I've copped the same "ya don't see many of them around anymore" thing as well.

My standard reply is " yeah,... well ya gotta have something to do the shopping in"....that usually cracks 'em up.

It also looks like we are running almost identical suspension set ups as well with all the same "new stuff" except I don't have a rear sway bar because HJ's never had them from the factory.
