Grab a line-lok kit and pipe it in to lock out the fronts (in the off position), so the pedal will be your ebrake, then flip the switch and be back to 4 wheel again!! ---

Yea, they were going to sell it anyways for liek 6 grand or something but i said i needed it more and we struck an agreement that we would share cars come summertime so we can take our van off insurance since we dont really need it then. My dad really likes that little car so i think he’s actually happier this way. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/winter-beater-thread/119657.md?page=2)
