"some tips, remember to feed it SLOWLY this stuff can hydrolock your engine if your not careful" why risk it if everything is running fine?

A cj7 with a bigger rubber bumper. Its the only thing small enough and powerful enough to fit on the track. Thing is amazing college bough it new back in 80-86 thing seriously only has 1xxx miles.
Hard miles though. Pretty bad ***.

sounds pretty cool. and very considerate of them. when the metro breaks, your *** just sits there for as long as it takes. little bit different setup tho...bigger trains, tunnels, etc.

So true, I've given Steve an oil change and a starter nothing else. Have had no issues.

Interesting day today. Stopped by my friends shop to bull****. They had a 2011 2dr sahara on the lift. Some guy drowned it up to the windshield out in jersey. Bent 2 rods. He just bought it 2 months ago. And yo, those new engines are small as ****.
