Ooooh! How fast did you go and how much did it cost you if you don't mind my asking? I have goose bumps just thinking about it! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

We didn't go really fast when driving, think it was about 120 MPH. It has been about 7 years since I did it. Riding you got to go faster but don't recall how fast. The track here is at Disney and is fairly small so I think larger tracks allow you to go faster. When I did it I was working on doing some video and animation for them so the price was great $0 I took a few clients down to do it too and they loved every second.

I did just go and look and the prices have come down I believe, starting at $99 to ride and $379 to drive. Go to http://www.1800bepetty.com to find the track nearest you.

I think you would love the ride along though

I took my H2 to the ocean this weekend and happened to see another H2 there with a little lift on it. I mentioned to my husband that I thought it looked nice. Now mind you, he's been pushing me to lift mine since I brought it home and I have been adamant that I didn't want it lifted..so he is jumping all over this with glee! (That doesn't sound right...Lets say manly exuberance ) He just called me from Les Schwaab and said that they are going to do a 6" Fabtech lift for me on friday. I'm only running 37x13.50x20 Toyo MT's and I think 6" is too big. It will make my tires look silly. I'm thinking a 4" would look better. Anyone running either that has an opinion?

There's a guy that has posted here that had a 6" lift with 40's. I think he originally had 37's and then put 40's on and they fit.

You'd think if 37's fit stock that 40's would fit with a 6" lift. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> You may be right. I based my post on prior comments from Phil that they'd rub. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Originally posted by PhilD:
As HGW says you can fit 40's under a 6" lift, but they wwill rub, especially if you go off-road. I have 38's and a Fabtech 6" lift and they rub when wheelin', in fact yesterdat they ending up bending some of the wheel well trim and I had to cut it off. 40's will definitely rub hard when off-road. </div></BLOCKQUOTE> http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/t...9721091921/p/1

OK, Here are some pics of my truck and my H2. You boys will see that I don't need a ladder. I'm used to driving the red Ford which is on 38's with a 9" lift. It does take a bit of a hop to get in, but it wasn't that bad. Diana, we have two Rottys too (love them!). we've used ramps to get them in and also just backed up to the entry, which is raised, lowered the tailgate and they hop right in. Getting them in and out when you're somewhere else is a different story. I'm only 5"7 and I didn't have problems getting things in and out and the kids are like monkeys so no problems there. The thing I didn't like with the Ford is that it is so long, and the turning radius so bad, that it was a PITA to get around in small areas. Especially if I had the horse trailer behind it! I think a 6" lift on the H2 would still be easy to do things in. Stacy, I don't think getting the baby's car seat in and out would be a problem for you. I did it in the Ford , not a problem! So go for it!
I think I could get 40's under it, but I just don't want to. It's so easy to get around in now and I think it still will be with a 6" lift. Anything beyond that I just don't want to deal with.
And DRTY, are you accusing me of being short, little man?

Here they are...

40's won't fit with a 6" lift.

[KenP]

Christa, Phil has 38's with his Fabtech 6" lift and it looks great. After getting it done you can always sell your and get the larger one's later.

And BTW, LIFT THAT RIG! It's never going to be as big of a PITA as your Crew Cab was.

I haven't lifted mine for the same reasons. One kid can just barely reach the door handle, and the other is reallly close to being able to get in on her own. With the roof rack, it doesn't fit in the garage anyway. I had infants when I drove our lifted F350, and you just learn to deal with it.

Have fun! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I know, I threw in the towell to soon Rocks...but I had the mother of all headaches, I was tired!

I went ahead and lifted it. Had it done on wednesday and posted the pics in the photos section. I love it! It's not to big at all and wish I had done it sooner.

I'll tell my husband about your clutch trick. He spends alot of time on a caddy forum, http://www.cadillacforums.com I think, and has gleaned ALOT of information from those guys! Thats where he learned about the fix for the wheel hop. The dealer techs didn't even know about it yet! Great site! We also take off the run-flats in the winter and only run them in the summer. You're right, they are a little squirrely for wet roads which around here is quite often! He's is currently trying to blow the rear-end so he can get it replaced. The rear end and wheel-hop are the only weak links in this car, which really don't affect anything if you drive like grandma, but if you drive it like it's made to be driven, there are issues that caddy needs to deal with. Otherwise love it and (knock on wood) no tickets yet!
Sounds like you had a good time racing! We're big racing fans here, but you couldn't pay me to go that fast in a car! Scary! I understand about the magnet thing! We spent years and thousands of dollars on showing horses. We've gotten out of it now, but we do have a couple boxes of trophies, ribbons and a really cool belt buckle to show for it!
Have fun with your new boat..we've traded the horses for waterfront and boats too! No more cleaning stalls. Yea!!

Love the V! Do you have any after market mods on yours? We've added the Corsa exhaust and my husband has been checking into the supercharger. Do you have any problems with wheel-hopping with fast acceleration? Obviously you race, have you raced your V?

Oh, and I for got Mini Me... The Ford is to wide to get down our launch easily so we use the Toy to get our boat in and out of the water. I love Mini Me, He's cute! When the Yoda is parked next to the Ford, my husband likes to say it looks like the Ford had to...well, to put it nicely..make a poopie
