Little ride back home from work today. I need a camera man. Trying to film myself with my phone and drive behind this much power on country roads gets pretty crazy.

Picked up these from a friend. Tires are nearly new. Gave him $250 and my factory wheels. I couldn't pass the deal up.

17s in front and 15x10s in the rear. Rear tires are 28-9.00 M/T. Fronts are M&H.

Had to barely sand the rear caliper and had to cut my bump stop bracket off the inside.

Few pictures. Ill take some later today outside where I can get the whole car.

Get ready for a contortionist act when installing that cage, lol. It definitely taught me that welding on the bench is much different than in the car while upside down with one leg drapped over the rear seat while holding the torch in your off hand just to get the necessary angle, haha.

I plan on the type that swing out. Make it more street friendly. 9" rear will come first though.

Ive not seen but one other one on the highway in my life. Guess in my area they would be a rare car to see out.

And thanks on the compliment. I need a rear and a better torque arm setup. And a good driveshaft.

You got a smoking deal on those wheels!!! Now try not to grenade that 10 bolt. My advice would be to go to your nearest Catholic church, bottle up some Holy Water and proceed to pour that **** all over that 10 bolt.

Your crazy lol. May try some 3000rpm launches off the 2step and see what it does. Keep the pressure up in the tires.
