New guy

Post by Alfonzo »

Hi, my name is Al, i have been a S10 guy for years and after some life changing events in my life the past couple years, i found myself dating a wonderful lady, she has 3 kids, and i have a daughter. i have a 2000 Deville we all squeeze into when we would go anyplace. I was searching craigslist and found my 2000 Astro AWD with 46,000 original miles on it. It has a couple issues with it, but am slowly taking care of them. Currently I have a 2000 Deville, 1998 S10 ZR2 ex cab, 1998 Blazer LT four door, 1983 S10 2wd 355/350, and my 2000 Astro AWD.

what do you think??

Welcome

Lowering an AWD is a lot of work. You could do a lift instead.
