Been a bit of an odd path to get here - from a Stinger GT1 RWD with JB4 and bolt-ons running map 2...to an Alfa Romeo Stelvio Q4 with bolt-ons and a Madness Autoworks tune....to now this bus I have unoriginally named "Big Red" lol. Not gonna lie, I'm impressed with this brick so far....for 5000lbs, it boogies.
For $60k though...why does it not have hydraulic hood struts? First time lifting the hood I damn near let it freefall because I wasn't expecting that frail little stick to be there. Found the kit to fix that, so probably going to be the first mod besides some H&R lowering springs to bring this rock crawler back down to Earth and fix that wheel gap.
Found Houston Speed Freaks on YouTube and turns out they are within an hour of me, so looks like I've got some local support, which is cool. Anyway, excited for this change...isn't as nimble as the Stelvio was, but it damn sure is fun off the line already (and the sound system is way better than that piece of garbage Harmon Kardon they stuck in the Alfa - probably the worst HK I've ever heard actually...my Kia before it had a better sounding HK system).
