Fixing up my old Bravada!
Hello all! I am a new member to this site (although i have looked at it several times for info) I have been spending the past month fixing up my beloved Olds Bravada to get it back to being my favorite vehicle.
Just a little backround. I am 26 yrs old. My old friend had a Bravada and we used to role around in it all of the time. I always wanted one of my own. So after looking long and hard i found one. I ended up getting a 1999. Have always loved it. I even looked past all of the problems it came with due to the idiot caretaker that owned it before me. I installed a new transmission right away. New waterpump, hoses, AT Tires, kenwood radio, ball joints, radiator and several other things to catch up with all the missed and neglected care. Now it is finally back to new....and i do mean new since just about everything on it is new now LOL.
Anyways...back to the point. Now that I have it back to perfect working order, I would like to do some other things to it. I spent most of my money I had set aside for it already. But I was wondering if anybody had some suggestions for me for an increase in horsepower and maybe just some subtle all around nice aesthetic details. I dont want it all jacked up in the sky nor do I want it with huge rims that look like a drug dealers van. I just want a well rounded vehical that slips between casual and fun. I fish, go off road a bit to do so. And I also hunt and do the same. The tires get me through the mud just fine even tho I only have AWD. Anyways, any suggestions would be nice. I will leave it open to you all for suggestions and i do appreciate any and all.
Thank you!
