    It’s currently parked in the garage. It’s one small step at a time. It’ll take me another 3 months to put it on jack stands. Check back around September

    cause we text a lot

    I have about a dozen individual texts with members here on a constant basis and half a dozen group chats I’m in. It’s hard to keep up sometimes.

    idk why I got so popular within the last year :notsure:

    wanna be mods
    Shit...at least yours was parked in your own garage...I end up using the neighbors or in-laws (plus the two point lifts make it so much easier).

    I mean it took me about nearly 6 months to just pull the coilovers and add some preload, so I understand and support Matt's current rate of mod!

    HATERS GONNA HATE, right?!?!

    No real updates currently. It's been my DD for some time now.

    I installed my X2 AGM battery and OGE battery tray yesterday. Used the GM Diode to ensure proper charging.

    This was the first delivery. My 6x12 trailer will be used next and will likely be full too.

    Armor and interior junk will come at a later date. I’m broke for now.

    I also have a mini parts pile for my wife’s GX460, which I will inherit whenever she gets a new car.
