Honestly, I don't even think a lift is needed for that crossing, looks like mine would make it through that without dipping the calipers in the floodwaters.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! That is awesome Austin, I'll have to post that on the Jeep forum after work tonight! I don't know why nobody has ever kitted one of these trucks, it would probably sell better than the endless reissues of Tri-5 Chevys, Camaro's, and/or '32 Fords. I'd probably buy a case or two, even if it was just one kit at a time!

and yea, I still is one too

Anybody else wondering if the driver of that Caliber has one of these?

Ooohhh, must be from the part of Detroit the FD's have left to just burn if something catches fire.

Considering how badly they rolled over, I'm surprised the Bronco II and '90-early 00's Explorers aren't on the list. I've ridden in a TTB Explorer as well as a IFS Explorer that were in decent shape and at low speeds, both had more body roll that my Cherokee did when all 4 shocks were shot while taking corners in a fairly aggressive manner.

Just got back from the body shop and the body man there, who is a friend, only noticed that damage to the trim too. Mom wondered if he has warrants and the body guy suggested he isn't currently licensed to drive.

Guess somebody put a small, grainy video of it on Facebook............guess that's appropriate for a truck called Bigfoot http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=3820640920443

AAARRRGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just got rear ended little over an hour ago and the SOB made a run for it while I was on the phone with 9-1-1 Right now this is the only obvious damage, I'm going to take it to a body guy I know tomorrow morning before work.......guess it's a good thing I got screwed on hours tomorrow after all.

You mean that the engine can be used to create electricity to power the motors and drive the front wheels? Like diesel locomotives have been using with great success for 60+ years hauling people and freight and helped to power pre nuke submarines

The point is that you can drive 25-40 miles on only electricity and if you're just bombing around town and don't drain the battery enough to need the engine, you just plug it in at home. If you live in an area that has put in charging ports or have access to outlets, you can plug in while shopping, or at work, all the better. While trying to fine stations to buy E-85 from, I discover that Stratford Square Mall in Bloomingdale, IL! Not sure if there are any other malls that offer it off hand, I'll have to check the KeenDriver app on my phone to know for sure.

Model, very nice one though!

I had been thinking the same thing!

I thought they were boat anchors.............................

I work retail, I'm always in parking lots....you should see my poor Cherokee, most of the body damage to it is from people opening their doors into it I forgot to mention, I received a set of Weathertech floor mats for the car as a birthday present last month and finally got to install them right before vacation. When Dad bought them, the guy at their factory store made sure to tell him that we needed to remove the existing floormats before installing theirs............apparently they have had customer's that aren't quite bright enough to figure that out on their own then call to complain that these mats don't fit in their cars Here's my factory mats And here they are installed And speaking of vacation, shot a pic of it while we were on vacation, here it is with my folks Town and Country at our hotel After looking at the two side by side a few times at the hotel, I'm beginning to think that the person/people that worked to restyle the Sebring to the 200 also must have been the ones that styled the '01-'06 Minivans. I see a bit of a family resemblance between the two.

Luckily, now that I have my 200 as a DD, I've used one tank of gas in the Jeep since Easter But yea, it ended up being just short of $60 (I could have bought both Foose kits and a lunch for that ), and I even went to theeee cheapest station in the area and splash blended 3 gallons of E-85 to see how well that generation of OBD2 system puts up with it (and for 30 miles so far, quite nicely!) Currently around home and work gas prices are down to $3.59-$3.75 a gallon for 87, this station had 87 for $3.39, 93 for $3.79 and E-85 for $3.09.......I haven't looked closer to home to see who was selling 93 for what..........doubt I actually want to know If it's set up like their Mid-60's B-Bodies, I imagine it can't be that tough to do, does it look like it would be hard to move the wheels and tires slightly inboard to "tuck" them while lowering the car a bit more?

Actually David, you have me wishing I could swing the green for that and the Cornet now! Unfortunetly, gas for my Cherokee and 200 plus car payment on the latter come first.

It's a rat rod to me........but built how a road going machine should be built, not a rolling tetnus trap that might crumble when it hits a Chicago pot hole.

I had thought that if they were to make a mid motored coupe with the Volt's drivetrain mounted in the back could be pretty neat......problem is that it could be seen as the return of the Fiero or Corvair and I honestly don't know if that would help or hurt GM..........

I'd love to have either of thosr cutters for RC bodies, but they are just too pricey.

Modern racing monster trucks don't sled pull any more, haven't really since they started becoming monster trophy trucks instead of monster pick ups.

They already work like that if needed, minus the diesel part, they aren't even flex fuel compatable

After watching therr commercials, I will only by from local parts houses and the dealers.

Considering the brutal low end torque you can get out of a good electric motor combined with the right batteries, it should accelerate violently and have no problem pulling stuff!

Don't see why not, it's available on all hybrids and factory electric cars, Illinois even offers tax credits for the first year or so if you are using E-85 for a certain length of time.
