Great score, Bro. You were never thinking about MPG when you picked that thing up. Just remember while you're passing everything else, don't pass that next gas station.I would be sizing that thing up for Long Arms, F&R Pro Rock D60s and 38s

Changing your shocks and tires would be a good first step... We'll be waiting for the pics of your GC 98... Nice Buy!
