Total it cost a little over 700 to finish everything.The tires were 146 a piece from tire rack and yes they're just plain jane steel rims.You are right it is more or less just something different to look at.But originally it was just to get around better in the snow,and then things just spiraled out of control lol.But that's what is so fun about the thing,I don't need to be able to do what a jeep does,I just need to be able to do what a mini can't.

I love those old minis.They're just so hard to find (not to mention expensive) in america.
I found a almost mint Mini, Wanted to trade for my Audi. He was asking 8k Bigger engine, racing clutch, allot o good stuff. But I did not like the idea of having a DD with 4inch tires. (He had like 5 children and needed a "More realistic vehicle.") [t]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1031910/Img%20Dump/IMG_20111231_162046.jpg[/t]
Why did you not trade him what is wrong with you oh jeez
The old mini's here cost around $4000-10,000. The current cheapest one being $4000 and oddly is in a much better condition than the others. But last month a guy offered me his mini for $2600. I didn't have the money then so I let it pass.
[QUOTE=bradley;34690489]Why did you not trade him what is wrong with you oh jeez[/QUOTE] Why? Because I love my fucking wagon. Plus older mini's are attention whore's Children and women "Oh hey look at that tiny ass car let's go take a pic with it!"
Well, its pretty fucking gay to say the least
All the more reason for you to have taken the trade.
Someone found your mini and posted it on reddit [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/Autos/comments/pxtu6/offroad_mini/[/url]
Dude thanks for showing me that.Makes me feel good to know so many people think it looks cool.I've really gotta get those rear fender flares back on though.
Isn't that a rather expensive car to go and do such modifications? Or didn't you buy it new?
Bought it used.It's a 2005.
Haah that's cool! With the bigger tyres and etc etc how has this affected the acceleration and such?
Acceleration feels the tiniest bit slower,but it's not really a problem.And the handling is surprisingly good for having mud terrains on it.The little thing still has a huge set of balls for being such a small car.Flat out best car I've owned so far,even after the mods.
