Finally got the WM300 OC on the road today. It has the 900-16 Michelin tires. I put 4.88 gears and ARB Lockers front and back, and disc brakes on front with the original Frame mounted power booster. Although the engine compression is low (85 PSI) and smokes a bit (OK, A lot!), I can honestly say that this is the best driving WDX Style Power Wagon I have ever driven. Its strange the suspension is actually fairly plush compared to the other ones. Its strange, its almost like a M-37.
Not sure what they did differently in the later years, but I was quite surprised.
I'd like to compare the ride in a closed cab Norwegian WM300 sometime.
I need to decide if I should rebuild a 265 and replace the 251 engine, rebuild the original 251, or just drive it like it is and keep a set of plugs in the glove box.
