The SPORTRUCK bites another victim.

Finished installing the machined .71 5th gear I wanted. It's smooth as silk and quiet on the highway.

Nice work Matthew. That has got to feel good to find an end to that chapter.

I vote plow.

I decided to try out the BBS RZ's from the GTI. Looks decent.

I like it!

Hey, those look good! Wonder how the pots look on the GTI.

I like those quite a bit. more than the omni wheels actually.

I think I like the pepper pots better. The GTI just looked soo good with the RZ's. Either way I am jealous because you have two very clean examples of simplicity without dropping $2000+ on a set of "baller" wheels or being "stanced".
