Uhm... I mean, the TOASTED Marshmallow!

I took the day off today with the nice weather to try and get the Marshmallow in drivable shape. I got the new tune in, adjusted it a bit, got the belt to stop squeaking (I think), got the centercaps back on, added a few subtle touches to the exterior, and then gave her a wax. Man, I'm BEAT!

So, without further adieu... PICS!

It's really tough getting a pic of what the color actually does in the sunlight! Pics do NOT do it justice! Here's one that kinda does...

Sorry for the mediocre cell phone pics. I took some with a better camera, and if they look any better once I load them to the laptop, I'll post em up. But for now, these'll have to do!

I love it! Looks wicked pissah, and drives great! Wicked loud, too! LOL! Very Happy

I'm pretty happy with it. Now, time to drive the wheels off it!!!

Ok..... Looks good, I really like the black wood grain on the ruphraxe, subtle, maybe put that black wood on the chrome side trim where the bulky rubber stuff usetabee?

What did ya do with the rear wiper arm molding? Is that a new change, or am I slow?

Thanks guys. I totally dig it. I wrapped the roof racks and trim above the license plate with the black wood. I thought about the stainless too, but I like it without too much. Wink

Nice catch on the wiper delete. I fiberglassed over where the wiper used to be on a spare trim piece because I wanted a cleaner look. That's new this week.

The rims are 18x9.5 all around and 275/40's up front with 295/35's out back. Vogtland springs.

Thanks guys. I am very happy with it. I still have a ton of work to do on it (drivetrain, suspension, brakes, and interior), so once we get a house, I'll probably be taking it all back apart again... Rolling Eyes

Seriously you have convinced me to get 18x9.5 for all 4 corners. Found one smoking hot deal on ebay for $597 free shipping

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121001412244?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Sucks that i may not make it to wagonfest this year.

Oh yeah I cocktailed all my maroons cans of paint I had left over the past year and it almost looks like yor color. I'll have to take apix and show you. More of a cinnamon look though. Was half tempted to use it for my wagon, but not if it is real close to your color.

That is a smokin deal! Holy crap! Really makes you wonder how much it actually costs to produce them. Must be HUGE profit it them!

Anyways, I'm not sure that will work... Mine have a 5.5" backspace, and those list a 6 offset. It's too early for me to figure out how that translates to BS... Wink

Too funny on the paint color. Razz

Seriously you should call More Than Tires and price them. They beat everyone's price for me. Ask for Bob.

I don't know if those tires are wide enough for a 9.5" wheel?

Dam ur right,... Crap looks like I might be going with 18x8's now. And the BFG's are $420 shipped not $470. Since they are inexpensive I'm going back to the 8's now. Cus they max rim width is 8.5 for the 245/55
