i'm in. let me know where to send the money.

I HATE YOU!!! i'll have to wait until i get my tax return for new tires, but as soon as the lift is ready let me know.

now does that $2000 include gas and hotels from florida to colorado? j/k with tires that big you would have to regear, and if you're going to tear into the gears, you might as well put air lockers on... the list goes on.

so does the wheels/tires come with the lift too?

now we need to get someone to do a story about it for one of the magazines.

not to throw another problem at ya, but have you thought about relocating/extending the linkage on the load sensing valve for the rear brakes? once you lift it so high, it will drastically reduce brake force to the rear drums.

the turbo blew out the oil seal and pumped 42 quarts out the stack. i don't have any pictures of it, but the car that was driving next to it was covered.

what happens when a turbo blows out

well, my insurance company is contesting it, waiting on the police report. ordered a new bumper and foglights(they're freaking expenssive!). my insurance adjuster said that they'll pay $1200 for a factory bumper and foglight and an additional $1000 for after market parts, minus my deductible, plus the fender which he said could be pulled back into place. i'm just worried about my rates going up- no accidents since 2001 and no tickets since 2003. i'm still waiting for my WOW stickers, that would cheer me up a bit. haha. XM 202!

oh i agree, if i didn't have the arb, i don't think the plastic would have stopped me. i'm just pissed because she pulled an illegal u-turn, of course she didn't look, but because i ran into the back of her, it's my fault. you know, the whole he said-she said bs. last night i told the insurance agent that there is no way possible, unless i drove up onto the concrete median, that my damage was on the right side unless she started from the right lane. if she started the u-turn from the left lane and then stopped, i would have hit her with the left side of the bumper. plus the fact that the cop didn't give me a ticket. she even told the cop that there was no one in the van with her, and then as he's filing the report, she started yelling at her kid in the back.

the tractor is in the bushes, you can just see the exhaust stacks

and a couple more, wasn't me. dumptruck vs. gas tanker

and lpg

if it was solid and didn't have the cutouts for fog lights, im sure it wouldn't have been so bad. hit the left corner of her bumper so no real damage to her, and a scuff mark from the rubber pad on my bumper on her quarter panel. i'll see if i can get ahold of the officer tomorrow. it's a four lane road with a median. 2 cars to the right of me, neither stopped, jerks. i'm also going to check with the gas station to see if the have security cameras. i'm getting tired of hauling gas in florida, looking to be a police officer in pg county, maryland. all my friends up there are signing up, so i figured i might as well too. wish me luck. my other ride, just so you don't think that i can't drive...

what she really did

what she said she did

woman driving a fullsize chevy express van... she pulled out from a gas station went into the left lane, then the right lane and then proceeds to make a u-turn from the right lane, but stops because of oncoming traffic. hit her going about 15 mph. she said she started the u-turn from the left lane, but i hit her with the right side of the bumper into her left quarter panel. she told my insurance agent that i hit her on the passenger side, so we'll see what happens.

hey abomb, nice grill gaurd. haha. curt mfg has them in white, yellow (WHY YELLOW!?!) and sahara beige for 96-04 pathys.

i'm in. been wondering about it for a year now. also, will it include trans and transfer case, or will it bolt up to what we have?

obd-II cars and trucks (1996 and up) will save past trouble codes until they are erased using a scanner, or unplugging the battery for about ten minutes. plus, certain trouble codes will not turn on the ses light.

i had to 2525 aeroturbine put on. it looks like they also have an integrated v-muffler, 2 in 1 out. i just had them weld in a y-pipe before the muffler.

i had a aeroturbine put on my 2000. installed for $350 at a mom and pop shop. sounds exactly like my friends 2003 ford mustang v6, and i'm getting about 2 to 2.5 mpg more than the stock system on the highway. here's a link for more info http://www.turboexhaust.com/how/index.html

i have a 2000, and it does the same thing. sometimes i have to turn it on and off about ten times to get it to normal. a mechanic i know said that it might be the control box, in the left rear fender, but i'm not willing to fork out the money on a guess. i just don't use it anymore. i'f someone knows anything, let me in on it.
