    Went and bought a turbo, why???

    I've got mine almost ready to go on as well, just nerd the oil lines and I will be ready. I will search posts before I ask where to get those.

    What neighbors have to say about my new M1009

    Just had mine towed while I was deployed because it hadn't moved in 24 hours. Apparently, a bus driver hit a car driving around it and complained. Fighting this one.
