  1. Most modern family sedans and crossovers are faster than 70s muscle cars. Doesn't make them muscle cars. Camaro's mustang's and challengers are the closest we have to what a muscle car is. But the cost is what makes them not, in my opinion.
  2. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines muscle cars as "any of a group of American-made 2-door sports cars with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving."[2] A large V8 engine is fitted in a 2-door, rear wheel drive, family-style compact, mid-size or full-size car designed for four or more passengers. Sold at an affordable price, muscle cars are intended for street use and occasional drag racing. By that definition alone, the Muscle car died in the 70's. It's not even the fact that most modern performance cars are 4 doors or fwd or awd that doesn't classify them as a muscle car. It's the affordable price part that killed off the actual muscle car. Now a day's the performance car is the most expensive, not the stripper model with a powerful engine.
  3. Decided to drop the back on this one instead of leveling the front. I miss having a 'sport' truck. Plus I am really starting to enjoy the fuel economy and didn't want to screw with it.
  4. Finally decided whether the leveling kit or drop shackles were going in. I'm quite happy with the turn out. Even with the 3" of drop theres just enough rake for me.
  5. They didn't give you back the stock parts? Any shop I've ever had do work for me had always given me back the stock parts, as long as they are reusable.
  6. You can use the 5100s with a leveling kit, as long as the two don't exceed 2.5". Anything over that is too much angle for the suspension and CV shafts. Max lift from the 5100s is 1.85", according to bilstein. I ran 5100s set at the highest with a 1/4" home made space and it was fine. Gave me about 2 3/8" lift.
  7. The switch is part of the sport bar with LED light package.
  8. They only cause problems when not installed properly or maintained properly. There has been a plastic liner in the bed of my 91 since new, and other than the scratches the bed is perfect, no rust at all. Take it out every couple years, clean and spray some undercoating or ever just a heavy weight oil, then put the liner back in. And the bed will last for ever.
  9. It's not clean or parked in the garage being waxed again. It's out being driven, hard.
  10. 31.9x10.8" tire on a 20" wheel is a stock 275/55r20.
  11. What level do you have?
  12. You might want to plug that back it. Don't think it's going to work that way lol...
  13. Geez, you defend your wheel choice like someone trying to justify a bad decision. I guess everyone has regrets lol...
  14. He's not the first, doubt he's the last and willing to bet, most of the people that said they liked them were lying to not hurt your feels. Not everybody is a sheeple, and follows the trends.
  15. If it were me, I'd go with the polished or chrome finish. Black or black/milled are just overdone to me.
  16. What Bilsteins do you have, last I checked the 5100's are only 1.85" of lift.
  17. Put it to work today.
  18. Pulled the Duster out of hiding for the first time in a month or so.
  19. What steps are those? I'm trying to find something like that, but for a regular cab.
  20. Looks great, but you clearly never plan on using them lol...
  21. It's the YI smart camera. I got it off of Amazon.ca, I paid $90cdn for it. It has 60fps at 1080p and has driving alerts built in. Don't think I'll use the driving alerts but they are there. Both lane keep alert and forward collision alert. So far it's good.
  22. Installed a dash cam today. Took all of 5 mins, came with a USB, so I plugged it into the USB in the glovebox after running the cable behind the trim and dash.
  23. Just read your Signature, made me laugh and reminisce at the same time. This was my ZR2 when I was young. Stcker was on for an off road weekend with a bunch of buddies. The ZR2 upstaged all but one Jeep (A brand new Rubicon) that weekend. I do miss that truck, it was unstoppable.
