It rained a week ago here in San Diego, so I made sure to utilize that AWD goodness with some launches haha:

I am not a fan of the color, but it is growing on me. I will probably just end up repainting it black when I get the front end switched over.
How is the interior? make sure you don't exceed the exit ramp speed limit or you'll be in the ditch. ;)
Bought my old vr4 back 2 weeks ago. It was in a lot worse shape than when I sold it. Guy hooked battery terminals up backwards, fried something, couldn't get it running then did a mild partout. Needed struts/wiring harnesses/ecu/wheels/clutch/tranny and a lot of TLC. Already swapped all the wiring harnesses, clutch job, but motor back in, got it running, plastidipped spare hood, 3m kit to headlights, and new wheel bearings. Should have it on the road next week with any luck.

Oh damn. The car looks and sounds awfully familiar if IIRC. Glad that you were able to save it though!Quote:

I already had a good harness I pulled from another car for free so I decided to just swap it all and avoid worst case scenario.
Cool congrats
She made it to the local all Mitsubishi meet on Sunday 11/10. Also there were Randy954, Slippy09, and Chargerx3 with his 95 Stealth TT. Good times!

Posting an old picture, because I have nothing to show for myself recently :lol:

It feels like winter but still no salt on the roads around here. It's nice when TT season lasts a little longer.

^ Absolutely love that color.
^ I have never been a fan of blue anything but that color is the exception.
I would say this feels a bit more like winter...

Jason
What made you switch over from ford?
Not that I would have any practical use for it but that's the exact truck I would love to have!
Of current trucks, the Ram's are the most well appointed dollar for dollar. Have the newest/strongest frame by a mile. Biggest brakes(over 14" front and rear). Pretty well sorted out DEF system since its been on the chassis cab trucks since 07 w/o much drama. Get good mileage, all stock getting around 20mpg, first full tank with work use was 19.9mpg. The Duratracs will probably knock about 1-1.5mpg off that. Michelins will be going on a set of Laramie wheels for the summer/non snow months.
I drove all 3 offerings of diesel trucks. The ford felt the fastest empty, but the ugly as shit front end and i just plain dont trust that new of an engine with all the problems with the used truck I've owned in the past years.
The GM trucks have an outstanding drivetrain, easily the best all around of the group. But notoriously flimsy interiors and electronics. Body dents easily, my uncles truck has dents on it from just leaning over the wheel wells into the bed of his. He's busted the DEF tank twice since it hangs down to low under the body. But i really do like the exterior of the crew/short bed GMC's. Fairly well priced too. But long term i trust the dodge being easier to own vs the GM which is odd to say due to how crappy the pre-2010 trucks were/are as far as cab integrity.
Time will tell if the new electronics in the Rams will prove as reliable/durable as the fords have over the years.
I also didnt want a fully loaded/fancy truck and the lower trim Fords really look it. The GM's have such an outdated interior i really couldnt justify the amount of money for a truck thats no better inside than my 06 Lariat Ford which i certainly spend an awful lot of my time in.
The only "mods" i intend on doing is losing the tacky chrome bumper, getting a unchromed one painted body color f/r and i'd like to add flip out tow mirrors since these as i was worried(i really didnt want the flip out mirrors) are just a little too narrow for my comfort level pulling my big work trailer around all summer in heavy traffic. Also Laramie wheels for some Michelins for the warm months and towing long distances which is pretty much only done in the warmer months.
Oh and on another note, our very own Alex3000gt was on the engineering team for the cooling systems on the truck. Which is always cool to know someone from behind the scenes on the engineering side of the truck.
Jason
flip out mirrors, lol. I better not catch you driving around empty with those mirrors flipped............
Stacks stacked on stacks stacked tow mirrors stacked on stacks.
nevah! Unless im draining the water out of them...lol
