I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away. Once these are in your blood it's hard to let them go.

Sorry to see your Excursion gone, glad you're safe and physically okay.

Will be watching your next build too.

Part of what was killing me was going to a new platform entirely, I will admit that freely.

While I'm somewhat not thrilled to be going into a 6.0, my line of work needs a diesel. However, newer and NO rust makes the jump to a 6.0 a lot more bearable, as does some 'friend pricing' on a full bulletproof deal from BP Diesel. Pinky is working at the shop Razzi and I use and trust in Houston, so it'll be alright. Not happy NONE of my go-fast goodies will transfer over, but starting with a more powerful engine stock will be nice.

Already been in talks with Junior at ATS about new springs. Going to be keeping my wheels and tires for sure, as well as the new 5100's and chromoly trackbar. Intake, exhaust, BP and tune, and leave it alone power-wise for a while. Once the Chevelle is good to go and the injectors on the new X show signs of needing replacement, then the real party starts

At least you can transfer the gauges now! I'll revise a new pic for you of a Prius passing the new Stay-Puft while you decide to bullet-proof immediately.

I wanted to go a bit higher before the wreck honestly. Plus with the wheel specs, I had to trim the bumper corners a bit to clear while turning. With the replacement X have a full RanchHand bumper I don't believe I'll have enough height with the old springs to clear my tires due to the added weight and associated sag.

Look here spark plug, until you join us on the oil burner side you get no say in things

Besides, the car has the Prius problem taken care of

Yeah, neck almost broke cuz the Mopar disappeared behind so damn fast

Probably didn't see the laughing smile on her face, but it's hard when the other vehicle is a blur as it leaves you behind
