Stickshift instead of a center console, baby ;)

Removed roof rack and side steps, lowered, small tires... that's about it.

Super loud exhaust, lots of thrust.

Also installed stiffer springs and shocks front and rear, and over-sized rear sway bar. Replaced stock rear axle with the 5.0 rear axle (has torque bars from the factory).
