Also might be a good idea to take a measurement of the spring compressed because it will be longer without weight on it. Just my 2 pennies.

And I've decided not to cut or lower. I've been scrapping the mud flaps and the exhaust already just because the rear hangs over so much. It'd be impractical to lower it.

Volvo got new struts last week.... she handles like a race car. And I found out I broke a sway bar endlink. I think it MIGHT be from jumping it off the worlds largest speed bumps, twice.

As do I. JeepXJ found it for me.

[ramtime]

hmm, like a race car... not until you get that sway bar fixed.

[jokeplayer]

Yup, like a race car. Gary can attest to it.... So maybe it has a bit more body roll that most race cars, but man does it stick to the road.

[Terracoma]

The bish sticks, even without the end links.

... But end links would make it sooooooo much nastier!

[jokeplayer]

Agree.

She's a race car.

[lwolfnmonty]

you ever need massive tampons for your Volva, Steve? I think Ryan might have some.

[jokeplayer]

Ouch. Poor Ryan. He doesn't even log-on to defend himself.

[Terracoma]

Sick burn.



Yeah, too bad he's such a Sally and won't even post.

[jokeplayer]

Gary, what would it cost me to bag the volvo?

no really, cheapest route possible?

it would look hella funny sitting on the ground

and you know you wanna help

mal-mart spinner hubcaps and all



Hella funny if it sat on the ground..... Agreed?

But bagging it could be the best of both worlds. Assuming it's cheap enough to do and still have money to mod the truck.

[Terracoma]

Stealing my ideas, now?

I'll ask around, I'm not too familiar with unibodies...

[A-GUEST]

so many good adventures in this thing! and I still have yet to see it lose traction around a corner...and we have thrown it around quite a few correct, Steve?

[jokeplayer]

No kidding. Traction at its finest.

So I went to leave work the other day, pulled out of the parking lot and volva just stalled. I guess it's that time of the month.

I think the fuel pump or fuel pump relay went out It's stuck at work. I need to go work on it tomorrow.

[A-GUEST]

in that dreaded p lot!>!>!?!? OK, I just came to the conclusion that I need new pics of vicky steve vicky being the policelady I drive... yase? we could have lots of fun with lights on her at night

[jokeplayer]

We can do that. Should be a fun night of shooting. I'm still editing from the lighthouse shoot today.... so maybe tomorrow? You working?
