Which you do how often?

Unless you’re fixing this up as a weekend toy/Cars & Coffee sleeper, it’s a nope. What’s left of this vehicle will be broken within a couple years if it’s used as a DD…

E63? CTS-V? Do people not realize what happens to an interior with small children??

Lived around Big Bear Lake (including the awkwardly named Fawnskin) for a year in the late 90s. Tore up many a fire road in this bad boy:

I’m slightly baffled by a review that seems to be judging a vehicle against something it has no pretense at being.

I have a (now saggy) 4.5" short arm lift on my XJ that was done by a PO and I feel your pain. Literally. Worse is I’ve had a RE drop bracket kit+braces sitting in a box for 2½ years. I’m a single dad of 2 and just ran out of time addressing other priorities to roll out for EJS 2015. (And a close friend with a 2-bay…
