You don't like the cruiser stock center?

 

I'm not a huge lover of leo, even though pops was one, but I've always wanted that 'INTERCEPTOR' badge for my cruiser
(seeing the word police made me think of it lol and sperruner ask for the cruiser also, perfect chain of events )

 

I fixed it. Not sure why it quoted you as well. No, I do. They're great

 

Yeah they're not my favorite people either. But the center console is dope haha. It's fully modular so I can get the length and everything right and house my radios, gauges, and switches in it. I'm going ham (pun intended) with this taco

 

Cool mod, you lucked out with starting so quickly after that last taco build. And starting with something in that nice of shape is a big plus. But you've learned a lot of what is worth doing and not and stuff. Nice to get your second chance at a build

 

The Express Rally group up in Bentonville does that with their annual Beater Bash.

Third

Fourth if you count LC

 

Third taco? Lmao at what, 24 years old?

 

Oh that's right I memba the Rolla. Damn.

 

I've got problems lol. You can see why its never boring around my house

 

My usual daily is a 5-speed. Everybody in my family learned to drive on a MT. They all have automatics now. The first cars were all manuals.

 

4th gens make me happy. Feels like childhood, you ever sell that lemme know first

 

I wish you could drive them (2) to experience my sub-frame suspension mods. Its applying the s-chassis aluminum rear sub frame spacer mods to the front. They drive like something new and from a completely different class.

 

What does that help with on those? My biggest complaint always came from that discount torsion beam rear suspension that really didn't fit the otherwise super generous luxury sedan profile.

Nice Xterra

 

It just tightens up any body slop in the front lower area. It tightens up the whole steering experience.

The Scott-Russell link rear suspension is kind of wonky but can be a lot of fun with an addco sway bar and/or with H&R lowering springs and some Koni struts. I'm running H&R/Koni on both but the SE 5-MT has the addco mod.

Both have front cats deleted by running Warpspeed y-pipes.
