well winter is here again in CT and its really the only time i drive the wagon! but more i drive it the more i miss it.

so i decided to fix it up and do a different look.

befor it was a monster truck with big wheels and stuff

my plan!
lower it
smaller nicer wheels
new exhaust lose the old half ass fart can.
fix the body up. maybe paint it if i can fix the rottt.

so far i picked up some HX wheels and powdercoated the neon green and some blizzack tires.

then i found a buyer for the 16'' with monster tires so i swaped them for my hx wheels

today i picked up some coilovers but when i went to put them on i found ALL my bushing are SHOT so i ordered a bushign kit for it so when that comesin i will put all new bushings and the coil overs on along with paint the calipers and drums.

    ok, sorry for the flame.

    I was kind of looking for HX's to replace my RT4WD rims, but I think instead I'm going to have them repainted a nice bright flat white.
