#1 priority is some alky for me then who knows...maybe bigger injectors and a walbro 340 since I'm dropping the tank to fix my sending unit?  A good tach, a boost gauge that goes higher  , Fr. sway bar and boxed lower arms are on my list too though.As soon as spring hits though I'm going to be on the prowl for some sticky tires.

There's a young lady in Maryland using Moser axles. If they're good enough for her...they're good enough for me.

I'm not familiar with what appears to be a radio delete plate? Is that OEM?

Did you get rid of the radio or just move it elsewhere? The radio is a must for me, I couldn't get rid of that. Then I would have to listen to the wife

| Time to step it up...
I am ordering the bigger, more aerodynamic custom mud flaps. It's going to cost a pretty penny but it'll be worth at least 5 tenths Bring it on Doug!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have to get my brakes done first so I can drive it next year and then I'm doing an Art Carr 3000 NLU converter, RJC downpipe and SMC alky kit. Gonna grab a Dutt Necked intercooler off Jamaican Paul too and install my ATR 4 gauge pod.
