Can you elaborate on 6.2's being a dog? I've seen a few that have been breath on and man do they haul

6.2 was a bit of a disappointment,6.5 was a way better motor .I know a couple of guys who put them in vechicles then pulled them out again .one replaced with a 1kz and the other with a 454.vibrate like hell and for the size not very spirited performance

got sick of catching the bumper corrners on stuff so i cut them off and put tube in there

painted cage and shite..

Had a drive up the Wind farm and found a swampy drain to have a play in.

well thought we would try new bares out in the ashley today bars done really well but engine and computer didnt not a good day on the truck front but hey i got a new nick name out of it
