Talking Car is back on the ground and its LOOOWWWW
Well...not quite as low as the 25.2 car MADMAN posted earlier...but anyway

Just got the car back on the ground and gave it a quick bath. Now its getting loaded on the trailer to get the 25.5 cage and turbo plumbing started.

how do those hoosier rear 10.5s compare in price to the mt 10.5? it looks good, once mine is back down it will have the big adjustability in the rear also with the adj. spring perches.
