heheheee

I used to have the speed bug bad. Then I got into the show thing. Then one day I went and did a little wheelin with a buddy of mine. Nothing spectacular really, but it was fun. Since then I have just kinda had the bug. It is amazing what a properly built rig can do. Hell, my Jeep isn't anything special and it does pretty good.

Oh, and here is my friend's rig. He is such a bad influence :rofl:

They use a pinion brake. From what I have seen / read, the 2.5 ton axles don't have a disc or a drum brake, so they run with pinion brakes instead.

you want it? its a 95 with all the goodies, but we just got a new E320 with 4matic and having the C280 as well is just too much to keep up with the maintenance and it would get serously carjacked the day i brought it to school.
