    what brand tires to buy???

    I got the BFG's listed above at Costco and they were about $110 a piece. I think they are great! Waaaaay better (traction) than the Goodyear Eagle's I had before.. So much more traction that I feel comfortable enough to actually going to get rid of my 3.08's for 3.55's next week! :nice:

    No problem...With the top down look towards the top of the lift motors (far left and right behind the trim panels. There is a round bolt (I don't know what it is called) that runs through each motor and also through the top mechanism. It is held on simply by a cotter pin. Pop the cotter pin...

    MAC Ceramic Headers

    Guess I am the first :D Just got the new MAC ceramic coated headers today! I can see why some people don't like MAC headers -- the overall finished product would be a little disappointing if you were putting them on a show car (external weld marks, uneven finish marks). BUT what can...
