So I'm contemplating either an LSD or locker for the rear and regearing to probably 4.88's cause she'll end up with something around 33's on it (she's already got enough room for 31's without a body lift so she'll need taller tires when the next stage of lift get's done).
Considering she spun my 72 firebird around 180 within 20 feet across an intersection in the rain one day (and it has an open diff) I'm not sure what's best anymore, though.

lol yeah thats why you dont wanna spool/weld it.. iwouldnt do good with that. throw in a selectable rear, some flexy lift and 33's and she'll be showing up jeeps in no time! i cant stand autos period. and with a 22re?! thats crazy but to each his or in this case her own

she inherited the truck when my mother died and loves it because of that. so I'll push that truck as far as we can go. and when it gets stuck, I'll pull her out with my 4runner and give her a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th chance... as many as it takes.

You have a magical time of the year?
I have a magical time of day!

and speaking of 'cycles... my cx500 turbo has been calling me madly for the past week... body parts are so hard to find and expensive... and my heart says don't part it out.

Haha, yeah but christmas is when the checkbook cries paper tears. No joined bank accounts yet, so the damage stays mostly confined to xmas, bdays, and whatnot.

Yeah I've only ever seen one cx500t. I've seen a couple cx650t, but even those were few and far between.
