Pics of my AWD toy.

[Formally...]

Doesn't quite handle like an EVO or STI but it still has awd with locking diffs. :D Since my car was down for Import Faceoff I decided to take out the other toy and beat on it a little. Place called Aetna Mtn in Chattanooga.

Sliders are the stepbar looking things that you use to keep from damaging your rocker panels and doors. In that last pic you can see the slider sitting on the rock.

This place is just off Interstate 24 north of Chattanooga near Ruby falls.

If it's the 4.0L then just keep oil in it and change waterpump. Mine has over 200k miles on original motor, tranny, transfer case. Good thing is you can find motors in good shape for a couple hundred dollars.

trade for a first gen rx7 lol

i remember going rock crawling with my bro-in-law and getting stuck on a top of a steep hill facing down for 20 mins...then we finally decided to go for it. we made it to the bottom in one piece.

its the 4.0L, it has somewhere around 260,000 miles. but i think the transfer case has been rebuilt. do you know where i can get some off road tires for cheap? :goodjob:

Well it is selectable from 2wd to 4wd but I said AWD just to get people to look :D But it is true AWD since it has lockers front and rear (LSD is for wimps).

[Formally...]

It flexes pretty good but I need longer front shocks, they are limiting my down travel.

If anybody ever wants to go ride I try to go at least once a month so just let me know. Fun to get away from the car stuff ever once in a while.
