Body Damage is Cool
Hope that everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas!

Maybe some of you received some new parts or fun stuff to put on your Sportage.

Make sure you post some pictures of your presents that will make your ride a little more fun/functional.

Getting the Wheeling Fever
I got a good piece for the KIA.
There was a box sitting there containing a brand spankin' new Smittybilt XRC8 winch for me. smile

Now to gather the bits I need to come up with a mounting solution. We don't seem to have as much suitable frame sticking out the front as some other rigs.


2001 Kia Sportage
Warn manual hubs, 2" spacer up front, TJ 105 springs Rav4 shocks, 235/75/15 BFG A/T KOs, Skidplate back to under the T-case, trans cooler, XRC8 winch on custom bumper, Synth winch line, fuel can mount, Rigid D2 Dually overhead lights.

Wheeler
uhm... we got snow so i actually HAD to use 4x4 for the first time... i know, i don't get it out often.. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> but with my xmas cash i bought the following for it:

class 3 hitch receiver (for towing motorcycle/utility trailer)
trailer wiring kit
Head unit. stock died on me this morning. an hour long drive one-way cannot be silent unless i'm on the bike..

so now i have all that on the way along with my electric fan conversion. but the Goat is running great! i have a tow strap wrapped around the spare tire holder just in case i run across someone who's stuck. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> because i'm that idiot that is out when i shouldn't be, but i can at least help out other idiots..


So, i bought an 01 Kia Sportage. before i even drove it, i nick-named it The Goat.. it has been just like a goat.. stubbern at every corner...
