Well thats only about $650 total, seems to me it would be worthwhile to keep after all the extra money you've put into it. But then again, some cars are lemons and/or some people don't have all the money in the world to put into their cars. I'm one of them.

I think the WD21's are going to take it here. Besides, don't ALL the wd21's share the same-ish frame, no matter how many doors? I voted for the 2-door though, just outta preference

But why have gauges when you can have idiot lights? Your average inDUHvidual doesn't want to worry about pretty numbers and needles. I mean, good god man, they might actually have to THINK. -thnkboutit-

I was thinking the same for my VW -- its low enough my floor jack won't get under it without driving it onto some 2x4's first.

I'd have to look at my truck to tell, but I'll take a stab in the dark and say aftermarket, because they almost look like the superlift ones in Wheelmans For sale thread.

Before you guys run out and pick up a OEM carrier from another pathy, you should check into what it takes to install it on a pathy that didn't come with one from the factory. Its not an easy job as you have to install brackets UNDER the existing sheetmetal to support it. That looks pretty sweet! Dunno about the price tag though

I wouldn't be worried -- your trucks a lot younger than my ole girl. I'm sure its just that shes getting tired and I didn't give her enough time to wake up in the cold morning. I'm just wondering if theres a fix for that short of a rebuilt drive train.

The other day I got in my truck to go snowboarding. I started it, and let her run for maybe a minute or two. When I slipped the shifter into D, the truck drove forward about a foot and then the engine died. She ran fine after warming up for a little bit. Is there something I can do to prevent this? Or is my pathy just that tired?

I had a set of Hella 500's on my old GMC -- They're definatly a good pair of lights to have.

I have seen those, I'll stick to snowboarding thanks They do look like fun though, thing is we don't get snow down here in the valley, so I HAVE to go to the mountains.

I'm going to call snake oil on this one. Spend your money on a tune up and some things that will let your engine breath better.

*insanely jealous* My local snowboard hill barely has 3 feet at the summit.

Not to go offtopic, but if you still have the PS2 thats throwing the error its a pretty easy fix. Just have to adjust the laser angle gear a few degrees. Theres a couple of DIY's out on the net about it. Did it myself two years ago.

I try and stay off the brakes as much as possible myself. All my 4wd's have been auto's so I just drop them into 4hi and D (or 2 on our trucks). Go slow and they handle just fine. Helps to have some weight over the rear axle too. Not sure how much is required in a SUV but in my GMC I'd place about 350lbs worth of sandbags in the bed. I haven't had to drive in the snow/ice much with my 5speed FWD VW. But using engine braking and going slow it seemed to handle ok. However You can rest assured I'll be taking the pathy into inclement weather if given the choice.

Your just asking for a kicking aren't ya Fla?

I found this posted on vwvortex and it looked pretty neat. Anyone seen This before? Or had any experience with it?

I dunno, my VG30 Has a hard time peeling out on anything, but then again I've never driven it with anything other than studded snow tires on it.

Looking Good!

I've got an older Pioneer Cassete deck w/ a matching 6 disk cd changer in the pathy, coupled with Pioneer 100W 3 way speakers front and rear ( I believe.) It sounds pretty good even though its a few years old. The pioneer stuff came with the truck, and I've always bought Sony otherwise. In my VW I've got a Sony MP3 Player with the active black panel and flip down screen. It works just fine for me. I'm not much of an audiophile though, I just want something that sounds better than stock, I'm to tone deaf to tell the diffrence between my stuff and an alpine.

If I'm not mistaken, I thought that everything was the same except for the right vs Lefhand drive. EDIT: And potenially the option for the 2.7TD.

Something is going on, I'm seeing the "Naked Python Oral A**l S*X", and "Fle" instead of NPORA. That and it looks like someone added a line to my sig. I may be floundering with PS but I don't care to advertise. Bastards.

I'd gladly trade mine, but I'm missing all four of the hub covers. Not to mention I'm not sure It'd be worth the shipping just for that change.

Yowch! Well Sh*t happens dude -- sounds like you did the best you could do in that situation.

Sorry to hear of the troubles dude! Cars can be quite moody sometimes. I'm sure she'll be making ya happy again in no time though. LMAO -- Figures.

Thorely headers seem to be the preferred brand. Pacesetters are cheaper but of questionable quality. As far as it getting worse with time, (as far as I know) It might as it'll give the studs longer to break on you. But from what I hear its a big PITA whenever you do it. On the winch, I have no idea, I'm sure someone will chime in thats more knowlegable (sp?) than I. Also, for future refrence the little "search" button in the corner can provide a wealth of information and might prevent unwanted flaming by more experienced members.
