We West coasters need to start a club. Imagine ... a whole convoy... dozens of Astros and Safaris rolling down the highway in a solid column. :supz:

B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.
