From my experience with wheels on cars, it's better to get wheels that are machined to fit the factory hub (i.e. hub centric) and do not need a spacer. It's important to have a machined fit and not a plastic adapter to keep the wheel spinning true with the axle. If an adapter gets out of...

I'd like clarification on wheel offset. For example I see people post about having -12mm offset. Is that related to the overall back spacing of the rim? Meaning that it is essentially the same as having a 12mm wheel spacer installed? Or, because it is a "negative" 12mm offset, does that mean...

Is it possible to tint the rear window on the soft top? Or do they sell a tinted rear window? South Florida sun is a mean dragon. In the summer I need all the sunlight and UV protection I can get or it’s an oven. Before anyone suggest a hard top, keep in mind random 15 minute down pours...

I’m still waiting for mine to be built, and I got the Alpine setup but I know it won’t be enough. My initial thought is an 8 or 10 shallow JL in a sealed box under both front seats. Or one 10W6 anywhere a .75 sealed box will fit.

The age old saying RTFM...:headbang: it holds all the answers.

I’ve been lucky with rod bearings. But I used to endurance race E36’s so I’ve blown up a few S52s in epic proportions. I just don’t have the time to constantly wrench on cars anymore. Or worry about where I parked it. Plus in Miami traffic it sucks to drive a fast car slow. Needless to say I...

Mine isn't a slick top, but I do have a 6MT which is rare these days. It's going on the chopping block for the Gladiator though, they both might be actually. I've been driving M3's for almost 20 years so I'm looking forward to a change, and not having to worry about how far I pull into a...

Just placed the order for mine today. In 6-8 weeks I'll be joining the rest of you. Now just need to find a spot where we can get them dirty.

I hope I'm just as lucky. Dealer said they will email me the VIN within a week I think.

Sent Chase my deposit today. Great guy, and this transaction could not have been easier!! My Dad lives in NJ and knows the owners of the local Jeep Dealer (they let him keep his camper in the back of their side lot), and they said they were a couple thousand off from the OTD price from Chase...

I sent the deposit for mine today. :rock: It's going to be a long 6-8 weeks

On this little motor the cats probably muffle most of the exhaust noise. Since it's not a high performance mill with high compression and aggressive cams the exhaust note probably isn't really all that high in volume right at the header/manifold. With that said, the cats most likely soak up...

If I cared about emissions I’d buy a Tesla. ESS is just a faster route to starter and battery failure. Emphasis on the starter. And that goes for all brands. We are now back to the days of starters and alternators lasting 50k miles. Except now they cost $500

Now, at this point, I just want it. So I’m not going to nit pick over a couple hundred bucks.. we will see what happens when the boss is back next week. At the end of the day, the MSRP on my build with the destination charge is an even $46k. If I end up paying 40 and change (not including taxes...

Dealer fee is $899. I can live with that

So I also looked up a set of gears vs a single diff for the rear. Both gear sets are $1k and a limited slip is $500-600. So that answers that. Max tow it is. However FCA is currently out of stock on the axles so I couldn’t place my order this morning. Dealer says they will check daily and call...

I called today and Chase is out until next week. For kicks I went through what I wanted with the sales guy on the phone just for a feeler and apparently the Max Tow is currently not selectable in their system so he wasn't able to work up a price for me. I think that's a little lame because I'm...

That’s exactly what I’m going for. I’m probably going to get 17’s too since I think they make the tires look bigger compared to a 35 on a 20” wheel.

You don’t understand Miami traffic. 5 years ago I’d say I would drive a stick for life. Now I can’t wait for a slushbox.

Many of my friends have had Wranglers for decades but I was always a sports car guy. However, I always said if Jeep ever made a Wrangler pickup I would buy one, so here I am. My M3 is for sale and I'm stoked to get a truck. I need some help picking options for my intended use. Well one...
