What’s up guys, thanks for sticking around for another go at one of my challenges. 
This time, the Rods and Customs won the vote for car type, and there are some sweet rides in this category that you normally see slammed now days, but as you may have gathered…I’m not exactly normal.
Instead of the on the ground, big wheel look, I went for the other meaning of custom. This will be a completely stock look, no wheel (or width or size) change, no roll cage visible, no aero, not even a change in ride height (will explain shortly), but will still be very custom.
Now, what I mean by, “not even a change in ride height”, is that you have to take the height all the way back up to the stock setting. Which in this case is 10.1/10.2.
I know, I know, it’s an odd look and way to tune, but it fits in what I’m going for here…and what I’m going for is a sleeper-esque feel to the car. This thing looks OEM, but doesn’t drive like OEM!!
I did add AWD (again, not OEM), and you purists will not like that and I do apologize, but I feel like it adds to the custom aspect of this build and makes it a lot of fun to drive…Anywhere.
I mean it, try out my build and tune and just go drive the map, on road, off road, dirt and even in the snow, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
So happy driving, and
