    It counts as long as you post a pic

    What box are you getting? I might be going that route soon too if I can't afford a larger SUV before our next family vacation.

    I got new tires - BF Goodrich Rugged Terrains - 265/70r17. Not the mud terrains I used to but acceptable. These are borderline Street tire/All Terrains. Good enough for 50 miles a day to work and also hitting the trails if and when I ever get around to it!

    I also plan to get a rusty's rear track bar.

    I cut the protruding bolt threads and the rear of the receiver on the hitch but my spare still won't fit. I'll have to take it off, cut the nuts off (he he... I'd like to do that to some people I know...) and put in carriage bolts from the opposite direction.

    I'm not really sure yet...Looking in the 13-16 cubic feet range. Outside of that, kind of shopping on looks, want one that looks sleek. But when I get one there will be plenty of pics.

    I've got this one (which if you want to make the trip over you can borrow pretty much anytime)

    There was enough space left that I built a side rack for a couple trips. (which you or anyone that wants to come pickup can have for free)

    Well this year I hope to get new tires, front hooks and a trailer hitch then I will be ready to get dirty.

    Today I ordered new headlights (stock replacements, but they're going to be painted anyways), color matched spray painted, and the Morimoto Mini H1 stage III HID projector kit. I can't wait to get it all in and get to work!

    My Weathertech floorliners arrived yesterday... 6 mos. TOO late. If I'd known it was gonna be THIS kinda winter, I'd of ordered them in late October...

    That said, I'm taking it to Ziebart on Monday. I actually enjoy washing, waxing, and detailing it myself, BUT... this winter's gonna kill it, before spring ever gets here. I want all the salt & grime shampooed OUT of the carpet, before I plop the new floorliners over it.

    That, and it should be the SHARPEST Commander in Pittsburgh, after THIS winter.

    Oh yeah - and my Fastman throttle body is on the way!

    Forgot to post this, but I finally finished my HID Projector retrofit a while back.

    I really liked the way the new 2014 SRT8s looked with the blacked out grill and headlights flowing together (see picture below). That's where I got my inspiration from. It looks really cool and eye-catching when you see it, especially when it's clean. I plan to follow this theme in the future, but I don't want to black everything out.



    This is the Stage III Morimoto H1 kit from The Retrofit Source with 5000k bulbs. I painted some stock replacement housings and mounted the projectors in those. Hopefully I'll remember to get some better pictures, but this is what I've got for now:









    Also note, I have not finished painting my grill yet so that's why it looks the way it does.
