99.5r50 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 about two months ago i was going to sell my R50 for parts or junk it, but i really couldn't do it, i was nearly broke but i decided to put everthing i had into it too keep it alive, i bought a transmission,and a new bumper, i replaced the tranny myself( first time) and just finished painting the new bumper and putting it back on, all i'm missing now is new splashshields for the front ( ordered the wrong ones) then it's back too normal that's great and all but i don't wanna stop there, i just bought a 2" lift kit and wheel spacers, and i'll be getting some new tires soon , i'm hoping for 305/70r/16 i'm pretty much putting everything into this, i've seen some of the pathy's on here and hope mine will be beautiful soon , i've never done any of this before but i'm hoping for the best i have some pictures but i'm not really sure how to put them up here and i also bed linered my grill,fog light grills, and back bumper step, it looks great and it was cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99.5r50 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 one more thing , while replacing the tranny i had to take out the exhaust from the transfer case back, and decided to save some money and give it an aggressive sound by putting a flowmaster muffler on then straight out the side, it's just a single pipe coming out in front of the back axle on the passenger side it sounds really nice and saved me about 200$ at the exhaust shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonianwalk Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I went with 31's but, wish I had gone with 32's. All terains would be your best bet. Shop around for what your budget fits and post some dang pics already! Huh, just saw your in Illinois. I have family all over that state from the southern Mizzou side, to the Indiana boarder, to the "Windy City" itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
