Keystone State Thread

Yes, enough stuff got damaged that it’ll be an insurance claim. I’m going to go beyond what they will likely pay for and do a through front end maintenance while I’m in there though.

THIS

The damage is not terrible nor is the truck un-drivable but it was solid and drove straight the day it got stolen and now it pulls to the right a bit and has a pretty loud bearing whine at speed. The big tell tale is that the drivers tire is almost bald on the inner edge when it was a perfect condition and probably 60% tread evenly across the tire.

 

Probably curbed it.

 

Freaking thieves man, they just straight up suck. Glad you got it back and its not completely destroyed and those assholes didn't hurt anyone. And now you have an excuse to upgrade.

 

Yea it was also covered in mud and the winch cable was all dirty like it had been used so maybe he smoked a rock or stump thinking he was Ivan Steward or something

 

Everything and anything can be an excuse to upgrade.

I have some parts that were in the stash waiting for the time to get installed like full skids, weld on sliders, shackle flip, u-bolt flip and timbren bumps so I will knock those out. I am also going to upgrade the front bump stops to super bumps and do an add-a-leaf in the rear as well as new tires all around.
The only things ready left on my wish list after that is gears and a rear bumper / trailer hitch combo to ditch the low hanging stock hitch.
After that it’ll be “done” ... for now. Haha

 

Hahaha right for now, a build is never complete, there is always something else to change or something breaks, but thats what makes it fun.

 

they are also MT so I don’t know how much it will help

 

Ah, yeah probably won't help much.

 

Hah, loud tires.

Turn the music up.

 

Yeah man that totally works when trying to take calls when your on the road 80% of the time for your job and all the person hears are your loud ass tires. Makes Bluetooth almost useless.

But yeah loud music is fun.

 

I miss drive this loud thing around made all the right turbo and exhaust noises.
One day I'll have another....

 

Once I pay my truck off I was planning on looking at a WRX for a daily driver.

 

Yeah the plan is to get a BRZ as the daily after the truck is paid off, of course in black.

 

I’m not good enough at keeping the cars clean for black.

 

What were the circumstances of it being recovered, if I an ask?

 

But black looks so good when it is clean, so it kinda makes you want to clean it. Just another reason to hang out outside.

 

Very true I’ll give you that.

 

My buddy might sell his. It's a 17 sti with only 5k mi

 

I'll take the oem exhaust if someone can grab it from him and hold it till my next trip to pa

Edit: it's a 16 didn't realize that not sure if it will fit a 2012

 

I’m 2 years away.
