Default New 03 500i

Just picked it up Saturday, only 1 mile on it. Just got in from HL 2-28x12.5 Laws for the rear and 2-28x8x12 Zillas for the front mounted on 4 aluminum C-series 12x7 front wheels and a lift kit. Have not even put them on yet.

I am going to get a Howie locker for the front soon. Does anyone here have Howie locker in a 500i? I would like to hear a little input before ordering. Maybe we could get a group purchase going.

I ride with 3 spooled front diff. (the old washer behind the clutch pack) hondas and they have no trouble or should I say no whining. If you want true 4wd, get it, but its not something for the liberal girly men.

A locked 500i with gorilla axles would indeed be the baddest **** in the mud. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
