    96 MAC intake on 95

    Not an impressive mod, but its one none-the-less. I spoke with John V. from explorerexpress and he said it would work, no problem. Good news, it fit fine and looks pretty good, but you guys should be the judge. As far as performance goes, I noticed a huge gain, probably only because my old...

    my first before/after

    I was street (see "before pic",[slightly lowered]), but I recently saw "the light" and became more of an off road type of guy. So I did the usual tt and shackle lift, then threw some 32x9.5 super swampers on her. I'm so happy with the look, what do you guys think? Before: After...

    rotors... stillen, brembo, or apt?

    ive done some searching in the database, and didnt find a whole lot of info. i guess im looking for testimonials on either of the three. i've recently come in to some money, so i dont mind spending a few extra bucks on a quality product.
