Probably the best looking grill for those 04-08 MY's. I ended up getting mine from the Saleen Special Vehicles Inc. in Troy.

about a half dollar size or more sometimes. mainly drips from the small little notch behind the oil pan (bell housing maybe)

Well got my AE, new shinny black ubolts, studs and lugs for the passenger front, grease fitting for the abs hole bearings, some archoil for the excursion, as always goodies from riffraff (pen, sticker). Today my F6 comes in.

This weekend will be all hands on deck to get the traction bars installed and get the studs done. and everything lubed up and final checks done for chip install.


Cant wait to see what this beast is going to do!


Also sold the GEM and Radio out of the parts truck this morning to a coworkers brother.

Crud is going around up here too. I'm hearing it lasts a week or longer. Hopefully you feel good enough for an Oberon soon Brandon.

Any 4wd drive shops over your way?
Some better hardware stores will have them, the more ag geared ones stand a better chance.
