You have to have the picture on a page that is just the picture and nothing else. On the page that it is on now, there is still that banner on the top.

So your the one who beat me to this. I was away for a few days, called when I saw it for sale, and it was sold. If you ever get tired of it or find something else and want to move it, let me know.
Cheers,
Tom

Ive done a little, I raised the rear a notch so it wouldnt look like I was about to loose a wheel goin down the freeway, I had a new TMI headliner installed, tmi door panels, Installed a rebuilt 1600 dp longblock and rebuilt 12 volt transmission, new window seals, and running boards. Im looking at buying a new exhaust, and installing a new carpet kit in the next couple of days. Im thinking of a Kymco Merged exhaust with a single quiet pack, or the Euromax dual glasspack, or the sleeper exhaust. I just gotta make up my mind.

They look cool that low but it sure is hard on the axle/drum components.
