So after John's very fitting reply... guess who's back!

So looks like I'm no longer a PM (gotta fix that!) so I had to clean out my inbox and get back into the swing of things.

Not much has changed on the Ranger, right now it's minus 40 so I'm not really going to do much for pictures right now. Added an actual winterfront this year though. When the weather breaks I'm going to go over the truck again for you all. And one more thing... I bought a Jetta!

Yup, it's a 2008 City Jetta. Now before you all freak out the Ranger is staying. But now this means it doesn't have to be the DD anymore, which means it can be down for a while, which means solid axles are cool... if you catch my drift.

Until next time!

Drifting is easier in an AWD stick shift. Is your Jetta AWD manual? I wouldn't try drifting if it isn't.

 

[MountainMike]

FWD powerhouse! But you and I both know all the dorifto fun is in the Ranger. It's easy to solve understeer in a 4x4 with a whole bootload of throttle induced oversteer.

 

[MountainMike]

Oh! I forgot to mention! My Grant wheel adapter showed up... last week

Yeah, that took a while...

l8r, John

 

[MountainMike]

I know, I know. I'm back and sticking around for a while. I swear.

 

[Andres629]

Yeah buddy, I haven't been around here a lot either... life gets in the way! I'm more active on local forums, but I still gotta show some TRS love!

Yeah, but for some reason I can't get those darn BFGs to break loose in the rear.

It drifted much better with the old Daytonas.

Good gravy has it been this long already. Well update is I've got the full grille guard back on the Ranger and a bug deflector on the Jetta. Looking at picking up some 17's for teh car and maybe a spoiler too.

 

[CHKNFKR]

how ya doin' Mike? you and Tom disappeared for quite a while and then showed back up within a day of each other....

 

[MountainMike]

I'm doing alright. How about all you guys?

 

[MountainMike]

Just bought my old four wheeler back! The new project begins.

 

[MountainMike]

Hey Crew!

So I'm long overdue for an update. And I've got a good one coming. I have a set of Duff Traction bars on order and some other goodies. I'm going to be back on the build thread here again soon before winter hits. Stay tuned.
