thats a big no on that dude-o lol

20" pimp rims [:'(]
2 wheel drive [:'(]
45RFE 4-speed trany [:'(]

the only reason i would go as old as 2000 is for amber fire paint lol
that and the manual transfer case

Besides i got the loan all lined up and i'll be getting it this weekend
i have 16 hours of driving ahead of me, 8 hours there 8 back.
I just hope my 98 tore-a$$ can make it that far. it has 238,000 miles on it
but the good news is that i'll be leaving it with them as a trade in lol.

very nice state at least imo...i live in lancaster and amish buggys are a pain in the *** but i goto school in williamsport so i have a 3 hour drive when i decide to come home and i always have to check myself because i watch the mountains and fields instead of paying attention to the road.

pitkan, well pull up a google map with driving directions for davison mi to carlisle PA. I think i drove almost the whole length of the state lol.I even saw a guy in a uhaul towing a yello roadrunner 440 GTX with 25k miles on it at the summerset service station thing on 76. He had it in a barn for the last 25 years and just took it out that day do take it down to carlisle for that swap meet thats going on this weekend i guess.

Jason, So far its great. only a few flaws that i have found so far but nothing major. concidering its an 03 its incrediably clean and has low miles. There appears to be no major defects and the drive train has not been molested/touched/tweeked. Its a great starting point for what i want to do. the only thing it doesnt have that i kinda wanted was the anti-spin diff and the 3.92 gears. But on the way back home i got between 19 and 20 mpg and that's great. I chalk that up to only having the 3.55's and the 5speed auto.

Currently my plans for it include 31" BFG tires, Gibson headers and exhaust, a high flow cat (any ideas on brand), and maybe a superchips tuner.
