I was very impressed for a stock vehicle. i learned the value of lockers a few times.

So how do you like wheeling that big wagon?

Greg is going to be PO'd when he sees that damage lol!

BigRed08 · 05-19-08, 08:21 AM

lol, nothing worse than hes already done to it!!!!

Those will buff right out

BigRed08 · 05-20-08, 09:08 PM

lol, yup. the exhaust "scratch" buffed right out with minimal effort, no wear on the sawsall teeth or nothin!

lol, by the way, it may look like i was just tearing stuff up but i was actually trying to drive with some finesse. some things are just unavoidable! I respect my vehicle alot, but i do try to find the its limits. Had a good weekend and dont think i even came close to those limits!!!!!!!

You get your exhaust fixed yet? I know a guy who can do it cheeeeeep. He did my 80 over the frame rail (was under like yours) and put a flowmaster on for $180!!

BigRed08 · 05-24-08, 09:38 PM

that does sound cheap, but the cost of driving to charlotte and the downtime from work associated with it may burn up any good deal that may be. currently i just took a sawsall to it. cut everything off past the damaged part (after the cats). its a little loud but it will do til i can afford to do it right. Its not like its my daily driver or anything.

I've got to buy new tires for it. these are dry rotted (probably what was on it when greg sold it to spence!) and i left alot of the tread back there on daniel.

fawkin' a dude, you needed some sliders! Don't kill those purty rockers.

BigRed08 · 05-25-08, 10:17 PM

lol, thanks to greg...the rockers came pre-mangled! rock sliders are somewhere near top of the list of immediate upgrades. tires first though. im working on a small budget
