Default Another Daily Driver...



Just picked this thing up about a month ago. Already put 1500 miles on it. Pretty happy with it. Clean interior, cool paint, but weak motor. Not very powerful 2.8l. Picked it up for next to nothing in great running condition.

It doesnt have air. I dont know whats wrong with it. The fuse is ok. The compressor is on the belt but doesn't engage? And the blower inside blows VERY weak towards the floorboard?

Anyways...plans are to put 31x1050x15 3 inch body lift and 3/2 suspension lift. and flat black it.

Thanks man. this is my 3rd one and i love these tanks.
im disappointed by the lack of power the 2.8 has but the mpg makes up for it.
the car is in clean condition but it has a loose steering wheel that makes its drive a bit difficult and an a/c problem. i dont know where to look first to fix these things! i intend on keeping it for a while though...i regretted selling my other one.

Take a look in the 'Lifting Tech' section. We have plenty of answers to that question.
