I saw the video with the snow drift a while back on Youtube, I was hoping I would get to see that rig more in depth. Very nice.
Looks a lot better sitting a bit lower with the sas. Seems like its more stable too.

Cost-----ALOT. Lost count

it is a WAYYYYY more stable lowered. Lots of new stuff done that makes this thing so much fun to drive. Matt did a great job with it. My track width is rediculous... being wider and much lower makes it stable. I still havent put in the Marlin Crawler and twin sticks yet..... its sittin in my garage. It should be goin in soon.

Added some stereo upgrades the last couple weeks. I got the JBL sub box from a limited as well as the rear panel for the cargo area that has the speaker screen. I also removed the little mirrors in the corners of the cargo area and added tweeters in the corners and got the OEM screens. I got a 2 channel MTX amp and bridged it for 225watts rms at 4 ohms. I installed it under the passenger seat. I used a JL W3-8v3 to the JBL box. This speaker is massive and will not fit without modifications. I shaved down the inside of the box and then got a 1" thick spacer made at Tap Plastics to give enough room to mount the speaker. This thing hits so hard!!! I really was just looking for a little bass but this W3 is awesome!!! Its perfect. I had to shave down the inside of the rear panel as well.... right now the speaker almost touches the inside of the rear panel. Im gonna just cut out a circle big enough for the speaker to clear and then get a 10" jl audio speaker screen and mount that to the rear panel to protect the speaker. Here are some pics. Ill update when I get the speaker screen.

Rear corner tweeters

damn... one of the nicest runners ive seen to date.

Sorry guys, heres my lame poser shots, still havent maxed out the suspension yet. I left my sway bar connected in the rear the last few times I went to Hollister, I actually prefer it off I think. Next time I go out, Im gonna pop it off and test the flex. I should have gotten my ass end up on a rock to show that flex.... my rear is pretty impressive as well....butwigle ill be putting a bunch of trail runs together this spring and summer... now that little man is good to go!!!
