This is my first forum. I never done this kind of stuff before. I'm 17 years old in high-school. I love building things and putting stuff together. Build something I'm proud of. I picked up a 1990 jeep cherokee xj 4x4 for 700 and a ps3 runs great. Stick around for a sick build

Strangely yes they did but I replaced them and bled the brakes. So now she's back on the road
