Hey Folks --Had been lurking the forums for a while, but finally got my '12 loaded Tux a couple weeks ago. Had an XJ forever, and recently sold my FJ after drooling over the raptors up at silver lake the past two years... Im in the west chicago burbs, actually had parts on order before she arrived. The transporter took 2 weeks so was getting a bit nervous that I jinx myself :drunk:

already did the mid perch mod, 5star tune, afe stg2, and waiting on the methods to come in.... After doing the perch mod, and being deprived of height naturally, my line of sight is quite poor under 20ft lol Hoping to not run over small objects/children, I ordered the NAVTV to add the front cam, we'll see how that install goes :/

hope to see some of you locals out, but pretty stoked for the snoball event.

Nice color choice! & welcome.

If you get a second I'd love to see some more of that Stang you can see in you'd tire picture. Looks nice!

Thanks, I hunted for a few months for this combo. Getting super antsy to get the new wheel setup on there :D

My true moneypit...Sports a modern tubular k member and coilover setup with cobra discs. Doing similar to the rear in nearing months, 4link and built 8.8 along with minitubs, cage, subframes, etc.. plan is to get a 325 tire on a 18x12 back there, Here she is this summer after a long 8yr nap...
