Absolutely. Looking forward to it.

Pulled a Dodge 1500 pickup out of the mud yesterday. The guy thought that because he put some Nitto Terra Grapplers on his 2 wheel drive pickup he would take on some soupy muddy trails. I stopped and pulled him out with ease and he was amazed.

Frankly the guy knew nothing. He didn't even know how to disable his traction control which kept his wheels from spinning at all. It was kinda sad.

There is a video out there somewhere (YOUTUBE?) that shows a Commander trying to pull another midsize SUV out of a mud/waterhole and it fails miserably every time. You hear the engine running and winding.... but there is no pulling. The traction control is on and none of the wheels ever turn for more than a split second.

Makes the Commander look ridiculous as other SUVs participate in the fun with no problem.

I've pulled several vehicles out of various mishaps. I always use 4 low which negates the basic traction control nannies anyway. It felt like I could rip the truck in half it pulled so easily. I have to be careful not to tear them up. Ive also dragged high centered vehicles out on their bellies with no wheels on the ground without even straining my 4.7 one bit.

Ordered a bigger turbo for my subaru. Going to put me at 465hp at the crank 400ish to the wheels. The pistons can't take more than that really even though this turbo can push me over 500hp at the crank. It's going to be a blast. Right now I'm around 405 at the crank. Should easily put me in the 11s quarter mile and around 3.5sec to 60.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!

I fully expect to be replacing my short block in the next year or so. Then we'll turn up the power to the 550-600hp area. I'm going to eventually shot for the 10 second realm.

Drove the xk on the beach yesterday. Had some good salty muddy fun and had to drive into the surf to get around some logs on the beach at one section. I'll be thoroughly cleaning and wd-40ing the underside tomorrow.
