Looks awesome! Makes me wish I could get this giant pile of parts out of my room and on my car. I think I've grown acustom to my room smelling like a Tire Kingdom.

28x10.5W is an awesome tire, with the car so low it looked like a really small tire.........

steve what did you have to do to the tunnel to lower the car that much, I can only inagine the rear/tq arm must be mollesting the **** out of the tunnel with the car that low..... I'd love to slam my junk down like that but the tq arm is already hitting the tunnel, and I just took the bump stops out after finding the axle was hitting them, so I know I need to give the tunnel a good beating so it won't have to clearnace itself as much LOL.... I'd like to see a pic if what ya had to do, I suspect a little cutting and refabbing was needed?

Does anyone know if you lose the backseat when you minitub? There is a room for it to fit i think but not sure if you lose the little bracket that holds the upper portion.. If nothing else a guy could fabricate one...Also will the plastic interior panels still fit?

you dont loose the back seats. if you are careful, you can keep the speaker panels back there too.
