88VTpathy

Mid Vermont, New Hampshire border hea' How is Rauch anyway? thinking bout a winter, spring run

Mines still better sucker......

20ft towrope, come-along, crap ton of matches, rags, tools, small gas can, two military style gas cans (soon to be mounted up), couple quarts of oil, and if things get ugly... two feet. still don't have a jack, a whole lotta good the full size spare will do me if I blow a tire.

Friendly little guy isn't it.

Ummmm why are only the insides of your tires studded? It seems kinda odd cause up hea' in the North east it's inside and out.

Go winch, I'm not impressed with the pacesetters, I've seen them on several differen't vehicles and haven't been impressed. Plus if you do get the winch you can charge all the suckers you pull out.

"Custom" cars being made out of mass-produced parts.

Good deal thanks for the help all.

What negatives? Noise doesn't bother me, I wish my tires where louder . The only real negatives I can think of is breakage, and maybe some tire wear, but since it frees up in corners I wouldn't think it'd be that substantial.

I've tried the search and advance search options, I guess I'm search challenged, I just wanna know about reliability. I don't want to be in the back woods of VT or on a weekend excursion and have crap falling apart on me cause I made a dumb decision. My pathy's body already is crumbling so I'm aiming for mechanically sound

Two things actually, how do I go about finding out which rear end I have (88 xe) and is anyone running AC's lock right locker. I realize that it's pretty cheap so I'm questioning it's reliability, noise in the corners doesn't really bother me though.

Congrats!

I have a pretty sweet exhaust leak under my gas foot, found out exactly where it was the other day when my boot melted to my floor. Good times. On the up side my foot stays off the go pedal, and I get sweet free high from the melting plastic and exhaust fumes!!

OMFG!! I wanna mile test track where I work!!

Hooray for the Union leader, that's the area's gossip papper , they like to dig up dirt on everyone and everything, mainly cause we have nothing else to do in the area. That's still B.S. that all the cd's are being destroyed without any real evidence. I love the local smokies, as bored as we all are, and no matter what we doing they still manage to go outa their way to be well, use your imagination and instert a couple of explatives here.

Well, unfortunately one just doesn't come to mind, so 90% of American made vehicles from '80^ stupid EPA, who likes tree's and fresh air anyways. I mean 4 cyl. Stangs and 6 cyl Camaro's wtf, crossfire inducted Vette's yeah those where almost good vehicles, almost.

Oh yeah, tear out all the crappy interior rug and tar, throw down some rhino liner, water proof the comp.... spray with the hose as needed.

I say, no doors, tube bumpers a couple of driving lights, leave off the fenders, throw on those tires, find a frickin' sticky mud hole and have some fun! I love the way it looks w/o doors it's all, hey I don't care what you think about my rig, i'm out to have some fun!!

Thanks for the compliments, fortunately the mud covers up the disentegrating rocker pannels and the bottom of the doors, not to mention the undercarriage. GRRRRRR, stupid road salt.

Yes, but your road cornering is gonna be equal to a pile of jell-o. (I'm putting mine back till I get a lift.) Also My 31x10.5x15's rub pretty bad and am starting to tear into the front one's. But all in all you will get more flex.

As of late it's been BF2 and Evercrack 2, if anyone's on xfire hit me up, Leoteofer

Keeping it basic, Diesel swap w/ supercharger (dirt and turbo's make me nervous) intercooled, w/ cryo treated gears. Ahhh hell throw some propane injection in there too. Some skid plates, suspension, and lets go find a mud hole. (yeah the list could go on and on, but no frankenissans.)

Wooters good to see another Vermonter on the boards, welcome.

Got around to getting some picks, this is the day I almost drowned it. The picks where taken in front of MT. Ascutney from Claremont N.H. http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?...a8-dcf8506ae35a yes, yes, I'm a myspace whore.....

Ahhh silicone, my favorite thing next to duct tape sly
