Yeah. I drove by it this morning. Smashed it real good. Cops found some spray paint cans but I doubt that will lead to much.

Bigger alternator will help if you add another battery. I've been running two amps in my jeep and Lexus with no problems. I did add a capacitor to my Lexus. I probably would invest in think power cables, capacitor and optima battery. That is unless your going to compete with this vehicle.

Upgrade the alternator, and you need to upgrade all the cables and the main fuse too, otherwise it does nothing at all.

X2 forgot about that. You could also just upgrade the cables to your existing alt.

I just had an idea for doors. Make tube doors. Then mod a factory door so it can attach to the tube doors somehow so you don't need to keep swapping them out, or can easily go back and forth from full to tube doors. Anyone want to help me Fab it this summer?

If I had an aftermarket bumper to put on mine I'd give you my stock one, but I don't.
