We loved it and it took the hit and kept us all safe, but we'd just put $1700 in the transmission two weeks before the crash and found out we were having our third kid the week after. That's when the Suburban came in.
oh I misread that lol well im glad it kept yall safe. makes me feel better about mine and mine has steel bumpers front and rear.

It was actually a side hit, came out of the road sideways on ice and hit drivers side rear wheel right into a 30" oak, broke the top joint off the back axle and crushed the side. I've got pictures somewhere...

2006 Mustang GT
Full bolt ons. Xcal3 handheld tuner with Bama Tune for 91 octane, Steeda pulley, Steeda CAI, Ford Racing GTA axle back exhaust with FRPP xpipe, Hurst short throw shifter, Ford Racing FR3 handling pack, on FRPP 2015 19x9 rims on Pirreli PZero 255/49/19. Dynoed 289rwhp/307rwtq - I can't see her having anymore! She does keep telling me she wants the FRPP BOS324ci stoker treatment like my Marauder plus a Whipple 2.9L blower 600+ over kill...May keep NA and just do the Ford Racing 5.3 short block heads/Ford racing TB and FRPP intake should be around 400+ rwhp NA...
Lol that is crazy HP can't imagine my wife with that much. Since buying her 2006 Mustang GT I can't pry the keys away from her. I created a monster!Our 2013 CTS V haha… I had to remove the Borla exhaust because it was too loud for her. It has an intake, headers, upper + lower pulley, heat exchanger, injectors and a very good tune. She has no idea what it's capable of. Last dyno was 665…one horespower from the beast.

Sounds nice! Of course you can't pry the keys from her haha :)
Marauder you say? *Homer Simpson drool…* I've always wanted one of those.
My older brother is a mustang guy, he's an engineer at Ford, has been for like 30 years. Now he heads up part of the Special Vehicle Teams division and works primarily on Raptor and Mustang braking systems. He has a Mustang GT he bought brand new in 1989 that is set up strictly for track racing. I love that car so much.
My never ending project, that my wife absolutely refuses to be seen in because apparently it looks like a cardboard box is a 1993 GMC Typhoon. Just a few mods to make it run better…intake, exhaust, upgraded turbo + intercooler and almost all of the wiring has been replaced because for some reason GM used to use coated wires that are insanely delicious to squirrels. To be perfecty honest, it's on a flatbed being driven home 50% of the time LOL. Still love it though.
now that is a badass rig!!! id like my second...rather third rig id like own is a dodge ram srt10 (second vehicle is a 91 firebird, wife refuses to drive in it lol)Sounds nice! Of course you can't pry the keys from her haha :)

Lol I love those AWD and a 4.3L turbo equates to sleeper. I had a 85 s-15 Jimmy same body style but so under powered at that time and when the Syclone and Typhon came out I wanted to ditch my Jimmy for the typhoon but was too much coin! Yeah it's a love hate relationship for me as well. I've put so much into it I'll never want to sell lol.Sounds nice! Of course you can't pry the keys from her haha :)

@boss324 Yeah the Typhoon and Syclone were great at the time obviously, but by todays standards it's kind of a pig haha. *sadface*
Unless of course you have the time, money and patience to do this:

Make sure the heads aren't blown yet, fix your oil leaks and make sure your cooling system is freash (water pump, thrlermostat) the cooling system is the biggest killer, by the time your gauge says you are overheating it is too late. Same with the oil light. Keep fluids changed regular and they will last along time. I have over 200k miles on my 99 and 01 discovery, still daily drivers.
