Speaking of getting the car off the ground - I noticed the two jacks and four jack stands. With all the modifications you do, you must have a gold standard procedure down by now!

What are the steps you use for getting the car up on all four corners like that?

I just leave the exhaust tips dirty, so it looks like I drive it a lot. Which I do. They look flat black.

I'll hit 100K miles probably next week.

Chock the front wheels. Lift at the center of the rear subframe. Two jackstands in the rear. Then jack up the front on both sides. I try to rotate to keep it even on both sides. Two jackstands in the front. Then I usually leave the two jacks as an additional support, but keep all the weight on the jackstands. I also take the scissor jack from the Durango and place that in the rear.

I know nothing is 100% safe and this may be overkill but it makes me feel better with four jackstands and three jacks as support.

Thanks for the writeup!

Had my hood and trunk liners air-brushed.

Those pictures are really cool, James.

Hit another milestone yesterday. Now working on my second 100K.

. AWEOSOME milestone! CONGRATS!

Unfortunately with my car almost 4 years old, and only 1,070 miles on it....I fear I'll be 6 feet under before I hit 10k miles let alone 100k!

Cheers to ANOTHER 100K for you ahead!

At my rate it will take another 32 years to reach 100,000.

Now that's what I'm talking about

Congrats on both the great mileage and the photo (1st gear! full tank!). I'll also assume

that you were at 1,000 rpm and give you the extra credit

Well... its more like, "What am I going to do NEXT!?!?!?"

Stay Tuned!!

Did a nice engine detail.

Last week I cleaned up the "Camaro" covers and applied the vinyl decals that Phastek sells. Curious how they hold up. Looks far better than the chipped up factory paint that you'd expect from a 10 year old car.

Hoping for another 3-4 weeks before I can hit the road again. Had 18 inches last Monday, but most of it took a big hit from the sun this time of year.

Was hoping to install my griffin sports belly pan and wilder racing side deflectors but the glorious post office left them sitting on the shelves for 3 days before doing their job so for now, just a wash and detail.

New tires for the new wheels. Bridgestone RE71RZ's for the curves and 555RII's for some straight line fun.
