There was over 10k cars that came in, to put it into perspective we were at ATL motorsports park, which is a ~3 mile oval track. We covered every spot in the infield with cars.

RogueStatus253 · Mar 30, 2015

sounds like one hell of a show. cant wait to see pics

RogueStatus253 · Mar 30, 2015

damn if you would have told me sooner. i would have taken my 2 week paid vacation and came out there. lol, hell i might just head to georgia anyway and see the fam, and check out the scene

Creation · Mar 30, 2015

May 8th and 9th I'll be back in GA for Formula Drift: Atlanta if that interests you. It's going to get wild again, and I'll be participating in Offset Kings which is their car show which is CRAZY.

Creation · Apr 1, 2015

Front coilovers blew up today, my bag setup is for sale. It's obviously not for me. I'll post prices a little later tonight.

Also, my headlights will be for sale as is, will include new turn signal bulbs and white led rings. Needs amber 80m rings still to do a full rebuild.

Jeep is coming off the road for awhile until I can get this **** straightened out.

I'm about to start making some really questionable judgements but I assure you it's going to get real, real quick.

I'm hopefully picking up a daily within the next two weeks and it's going to be a long few months.

the_jeep_now · Apr 2, 2015

Dang, man. I was really hoping to see it in person.

Creation · Apr 2, 2015

It'll be back soon. It's just going to be more ridiculous and back to static.

RogueStatus253 · Apr 4, 2015

Nnnnnooooooo

Creation · Apr 4, 2015

Yep. It's happening.

Creation · Apr 4, 2015

Parts are being stripped off at 10:30 today if I have the replacements on hand already, should be ready for trade in/sale by next weekend.

chethro · Apr 4, 2015

Sorry to hear that, the end to the best looking lowered Patriot on the planet.

What are you hankering for now?

Creation · Apr 4, 2015

It's a secret right now, but it'll be well worth it.

Creation · Apr 5, 2015

RogueStatus253 · Apr 9, 2015

Creation · Apr 9, 2015

The management portion of the bag setup.

Racing bucket seat rails for the patriot.

My wheels if anyone is interested.

RogueStatus253 · Apr 11, 2015

the wheels are tempting for me. but dont have 2k. so gonna have to go with another option. I hope you will stick around to give us some pointers on the BC coils setup?

Creation · Apr 11, 2015

I'm at the point where I want these wheels gone. If you show me $1600 and shipping they are yours.

RogueStatus253 · Apr 11, 2015

money is tight right now.

moparnumber1 · Apr 11, 2015

you can always refinance, open line of credit, get a small loan, work for the mob, get a small loan.....

Creation · Apr 12, 2015

Got stock suspension back on thanks to MoparNumber1 sending his my way. Having some clunking issues that are going to get inspected tomorrow, and get an alignment done.

So far today the jeep decided to destroy both turn signal wirings, a swaybar up front, cracked my back window slightly, and whatever suspension problem I'm experiencing.

Uhhh I want this gone.

Tyler-98-W68 · Apr 12, 2015

So when did my compass start hanging out with your jeep, silly jeeps!

rcguymike · Apr 12, 2015

Geeze, what happened to the poor thing? Or is it telling you it don't want to be sold?

Creation · Apr 12, 2015

It's telling me it doesn't want to be sold.

I don't know but they should really quit. But good news, your suspension parts are off the car and should be heading out tomorrow

But is it matt farahs million mile lexus?

Creation · Apr 12, 2015

He purchased it about an hour away from me. I remember seeing it on Craigslist for around $1200

Mudbug · Apr 13, 2015

Where'd you get the carbon fiber dash parts? It looks good.

Creation · Apr 13, 2015

I wrapped them with 3M vinyl.

Creation · Apr 23, 2015

The jeep fought the teardown every step of the way, but today I wiped my hands free of it and picked up the next build. Say hello to a 1993 Lexus LS400, with 105k original miles, factory air suspension, full black interior in near perfect condition, and a ton of potential.

RossoRacer · Apr 23, 2015

Wow, somebody must've hated driving it, lol. Half of us have at least 70k miles on Patriots that are barely 7-8 years old in some cases. Then again, it could've just been a garage queen that the previous owner(s) didn't want to get dirty or something like that. Looks pretty slick, congratulations.

Creation · Apr 23, 2015

The previous owner owned it 17 1/2 years and only put 50k miles on it. The leather isn't cracked at all, the paints in great condition, it's just got two dents and a spidercracked rear bumper. The car is immaculate, so i'm really excited.

I have 91k on my 2008 patriot, so stepping back 14 years and gaining 14k miles was strange.

RossoRacer · Apr 23, 2015

Lol, no kidding. Something tells me that thing's gonna have 200k miles on it by this time 2018, easily.

aroundincircles · Apr 23, 2015

The question is, do you actually fit in this one?

Creation · Apr 23, 2015

"Fit" is a really a irrelevant term.

My head is at the headliner, needs in between the dash and the door, and steering wheel in my lap.

But, hey. I'm driving a lexus.

rcguymike · Apr 23, 2015

Your poor spine...
