Yeah, I got out as fast as I could. It would take $1,000,000 in my account before I ever step foot in that "state" again. Best of luck to you!

Put some LTX Winter tires on the Oxidizer back in January. They bite really good and are awesome if I have 300# or more in the box.

I really enjoy fixing up older vehicles. This one is now pretty sound mechanically for a fraction of the cost of a new one. This one was on it's way to the scrap yard when we bought it. I'm not sure if I'm going to tackle the body, it's pretty rough. My father in law bought it new though, so I may completely rebuild it. We're getting kind of attached to it the longer we have it.

might just as well do the body if it runs good and you like it. don't have to get pro paint just some patch panels welded on and a cheapo paint job i did an old ramcharger up for less than 1k two years ago.

So we lost power and had a loud wooshing noise. The cat plugged and blew hot exhaust through the black hose melting the EGR transducer and another vacuum line.

So we ended up with a new EGR valve and transducer, O2 sensor, cat, Walker exhaust system, fixed a melted vacuum line, and changed the oil while I was at it.
