:?: Hello to all.
Sorry no pictures yet, my G-phone is acting up. they'll be here soon enough.
I checked the codes in my glove box, and noticed the #G80. What is this?
You got me all excited, for I don't know what.
Tell me, tell me, tell me.
:excited:
Aside from that, I'd like to upgrade my rig.

2 inch suspension lift (BDS)
1 or 2 inch body lift (unknown)
A better intake (K&N)
Stock rims for now with 30" tires minimum
obviously a big enough jack (just in case)

Oh yeah, to hit some dirt.
I'm not gonna do all this just pose around town

1. Welcome
2. Where are you from
3. Congrats on the G-80
4. Search for what a G-80 means :finger:


I like your ideas, be sure to make a build thread and keep us up to date on it.

The G80 is the coveted locking rear differential. If you're going off road, you want it. You'll learn why.

Otherwise I recommend doing a lot of reading. We have articles and stickies throughout the site that will certainly help your knowledge expand. Do your reading... it's expected here, we won't spoon feed you everything.

Atleast you have one... lol :poke:

The G80 is an awsome thing to have, I have learned that I need one badly so be thankful you have it.

I read, and replied to, your post on the OS. If I were you, I'd look into the How-To's and install threads from people on both forums. Most of the stuff is not very difficult with you are very basic mechanically apt. You would save yourself quite a bit of money and get alot more satisfaction out of doing the work yourself as well.
