AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.

Last thing I plan on doing is putting the front and back airbags I have on it and call her done.

What happened did that thing roll? You should hear those turbos spool up and watch my 10,000 pound truck tear down the street ecspeically when you hit about 3 grand in 3rd gear. I wished I lived in Colorado you guys got snow already
Was thinking of buying a old 5 ton when I expand into more heavier jobs

I bought it like that so I don't exactly know how the hood got so screwed up, maybe the guys that had it before left it open and the wind caught it. I paid a whopping $290 for it. It came from a military surplus place here in town where they used to fix up old 6x6's and unimogs. The guy has an absolutely friggin sweet unimog that he built for rockcrawling.
I bet those twins sound awesome! What kind of boost pressures are you getting with that? Don't have too much fun with it or you'll end up upgrading your headgaskets and putting head studs on it.
Some of the higher elevations here in CO have snow already, but not down here where I'm at. Hopefully it'll hold off for awhile longer. The high for today is only about 50 degrees which feels freaking cold right now! Eh I guess I'll get used to it again.

I don't even know yet I was going to have it put on the dyno get some specs after those axel seals are repaired. I'll just probably just end up getting it chipped to get some more torque out of her. Plus a few extra toys on her. BTW her name is Mary Ann
2.0 liter turbo 4-cylinder... direct injection (FSI!)
GIAC ECU Re-flash
Carbonio Intake
Neuspeed rear sway bar
H&R Sport springs (to be installed Oct 7)
Tint, Euro-grilles, and a few misc cosmetics.
195 whp and 241 ft/lbs of torque... in 97* Florida weather...
And I ran a 14.6 quarter mile thursday night (first time ever on the track).
I've had it since the end of January... just over 10k miles now... I love this car... :)
