get another engine option certified here, so if they don't think they can
sell enough to make a profit, it doesn't come here.

I'm surprised they were available that late with slant sixes.
Anyways, their biggest detractor was the emissions equipment. Take your pick
of a carter thermoquad that warped because the engine ran so lean, or
chrysler's lean burn setup in general...

Even in Canada, parts for them are starting to get a little hard to come
by. The 3B and 2H have been out of production for almost 24 years, and
parts for them are starting to get a little on the scarce side.

This is incorrect. There are diesel emissions standards that must be met
in California, and the manufacturers must meet them. What is missing is
two-fold - testing upon change of ownership and biennial testing. Currently,
there are no such tests on light duty diesels, as there are none on any car
Many years ago, I admined a cluster of nexts. GCC was fairly easy to compile
for it, just took a freaking long time. I think we actually cross compiled
it from an eight processor SGI once rather than doing it on the next just for
the sheer speed difference.

for diesels.

No, because they aren't testing anything older than 1998. They're relying on
OBD-II to do the functional testing...

In a word, yes.

And this was the case in 1983, when my landcruiser was built. Since the
canadian requirements were more stringent than the stateside ones, the
fact that it was built for canada made it meet the stateside requirements.
And yes, I've had it long enough that it mattered.

That and air quality districts are popping up and deciding when you can and

Fortunately, I moved somewhere that it's still considered acceptible (and
the norm) to burn yard debris.

There were three gold ones, they were some credit card giveaway. An auto
museum in Reno, NV has one.
The other painted ones were from just before the company folded. The last cars
were built with blem panels, then the blems repaired and the car painted.
Memory serving me, these were red.

Loose sloppy steering in an XJ is from poor maintenance. The fact that
you compare something with low range in a transfercase to a volvo wagon
for offroad prowess suggests you reaelly don't know what you're talking
about, especially when you say that an XJ lacks suspension travel.
