Thanks guys! My wife and I are going to get some wheelin' pictures tomorrow.

I played a little on my way to work and it's amazing to see what the Detroit locker and better tires did for me.

Tom's Brother Ron here. This build exceeded my expectations by far, Tom did a great job. Now we need to build some sliders.

Thanks guys... I love the new gears on my Gen 1... She's already surprised me and I can't wait to air down and really wheel. She'll really be amazing when I increase her HP.
