So, a l little background. My mom and dad moved to oklahoma many years ago. Then in 2010 my dad passed. His favorite van was left to me. I was visiting for the holidays (where it stays until my mom moves out here this year) and it hit me... This might be a great chase/Baja van. I'm not getting rid o...

You get a chance to try the 4 wheel drive?

What do you use the pink princess mirror for? How did the new ride do on your Mexico trip?

Open invitation.

I'm ready with my bike...

I'm in with bike action.... At the drags... I beat my buddies zx14 4 out of 5 runs.

So, Mike what exactly is done to your engine? What cam? What tune?

Did you actually see the dash lights working on their power source? What exactly where they powering it with? Something seems weird....

This made me literally laugh out loud....Can't you ever be serious Mike???

What is Mike running? He dyno'd 350 whp....

I like this. My buddy down here adopts a local Marine family every year (Pendleton) and sends them to a nice dinner and buys gifts.... I've always thought that was cool.

I just had a kid and my wife is unemployed but I'll send what I can....

Light switches!!! Why didn't I think of that..... DAMN IT....

x2!!

Although, if replacing the entire suspension... is it even a raptor since thats what makes them special? hahaha
