WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR RUST PREVENTION

no drive in salt.

/thread

 

[daturbosix]

no G80 so im unsure what will happen- depending how it is in the snow/winter, maybe it will see daturbosix for a TruTrac

what rear end does this got?

as for mods, id suggest mo low. some 20" snowflake replicas in black. a flowmaster 40. good tune. delete all emissions. gut cats. and decent stereo w/subs.

does it get throttled?

 

[greasy]

Sweet man, looks like your patience paid off!

 

[Yaj Yak]

i like these wheels a lot but they are 18's. stock are 17's. i'd like 20's but the price jumps quite a bit.

the snowflake wheels you're talking about daturbosix are pretty pricey.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

does it get throttled?

Nope. We made it to Orlando and back with 4 tablets streaming Netflix most of the time.

thanks man
gotttttabe patient...i wasn't in a rush at all so patience/persistence and jumping on one immediately as it was listed was key.

 

[GLADIATOR]

Groovy man!! Maybe look for an airbag suspension/helper springs?

 

[Lead Pipe]

Nice. I love a good van. When are we going on a riding trip. Also thanks for blowing me off on FB bro....

 

[Yaj Yak]

i mean is there any reason to stay under 8?

most parking garages are 7 so im already fucked there.

I think 7’ is a thing then 9’ is the next step.
