Hey guys, I just sold my old car, BMW 325XI, and now I'm looking for something to haul the quad around with. I found this Jeep, let me know what you guys think. My Uncle test drove it and noticed the following:
stiff ride
sucking noise when you accelerate
and tires make noise when you turn
I dont really mind the stiff ride, but im guessing the sucking noise is the aftermarket intake? and the tires making noise im guessing is from them being so big? check it out and let me know what you think. here is the eBay add:
