Re: Hey Ya'll!
Thanks Billy Ray.
I rather suspected this would be the case.
I know it isn't what many consider a serious off roader but I plan to have
some fun with it.
I don't think I am going to do any extreme rock climbing with it, or putting
a huge lift, or cutting the fenders off or anything like that.
It only has 100 miles on it and still needs to be broken in.
I considered other options, but this is the best for my lifestyle. I'm no
soccer mom, but I do need to haul my grandson now and then, so I sacrificed
my Cobra for this.
It had better be fun or else.
I'm used to getting ribbed and usually can handle it. When I get so I can't
I say so.

Re: Hey Ya'll!
Ok, here is what I have.
The important parts:
3.7 V6, auto tranny (I did that on purpose, tired of shifting) Command-Trac
Part time 4wd, 3.73 rear end, 17x7.5 wheels with Goodyear P235/65R17 tires.
I got it with the Limited package 28G and a gob of other goodies that really
have no effect on the vehicle as far as being a 4 wheeler.
I have the skid plated on order, they should be on by Wednesday. next I am
getting tow hooks put on it.
From there... I am not too sure.
I have to get used to it. Hell I haven't even activated the Sirius radio yet
or tried the disk changer.
What I AM interested in is how to goose up this six banger for some more
horsepower without voiding my warranty.

Part time 4wd, 3.73 rear end, 17x7.5 wheels with Goodyear P235/65R17 tires.
I got it with the Limited package 28G and a gob of other goodies that really
have no effect on the vehicle as far as being a 4 wheeler.
I have the skid plated on order, they should be on by Wednesday. next I am
getting tow hooks put on it.
From there... I am not too sure.
I have to get used to it. Hell I haven't even activated the Sirius radio yet

What I AM interested in is how to goose up this six banger for some more
horsepower without voiding my warranty.
