    It's not too bad, hardest part is getting the sockets on the bolts. Also be careful not to strip the bolts due to the amount of heat, it makes the bolts strip easier, especially the top left one closest to the water pump.

    Head unit. That's it.
    Alright fellas,

    I sold the Go Fast Machine, and now have some cash to mod with. I am however not wanting to spend the cash foolishly. (Even though I wont get it back out of the vehicle.) So, I am taking suggestions for the next mod. I would like to give some details about intended use, and location, and status of the "build".

    Intended Use:

    I will be using this for light offroading, and hazardous weather conditions. I rarely pull trailers, but this may end up happening more often in the future. My commute to work is about 40 miles, one way which takes me about an hour. Mostly highway. (I have a Honda Accord for fair weather days.

    Location:

    East Central Indiana. This winter has been pretty rough compared to previous winters. I expect that next year will be mild but, shit who knows anymore?


    Current Status:

    2.7l 4cyl
    Lifted w/ Toytec done.
    Deckplate done.
    Wheels and tires done.
    Sound done.
    Exhaust done.
    Sliders done.


    My current considerations:

    Bumpers front and back, either Relentless or Elite.
    Gears, 4.56 or 4.88.

    The frame was replaced two years ago due to rust. The body is now starting to have spots here and there.

    So. Where should, or do I go from here? This wont be a dedicated trail rig, but I would like for it to be capable.

    Things that are still stock. Eww...

    Headlights
    Axles
    Diffs
    Bumpers
    UCA's

    Check out the ARB group buy. Front bumper with a Warn winch for ~$1300. Pretty damn good deal.
