I used to wind the headlights out to be half up and drive around like I was a boss! hahaha good times!

    I looked at getting one when I first started driving 14 to 15 years ago but bought into the "it's a super unsafe death trap" BS. I wish I'd never listened cause now the price has gone up 10-12k. At least they remain in the hands of people who really care for and love these vehicles rather than in scrapyards across the US.

    the T-bar seals are the same price as 4 new tyres and it's a 1 time fix for 15 years.. makes no sense, just get new seals if it leaks. rev2 was the steering and brake change, rev3 was just more power.
