Check out the How-to write up our newly reinstated member Wanker did on his Jeep Cherokee lift install. The kit he used was a Rubicon Express 5.5″ extreme-duty long arm kit. It turned out really nice, now he needs to post up some action shots of him crawling the curbs at the mall.

I came across this video on Youtube today while looking at the completecar channel. As a Mazda fan and owner I am really excited to get a glimpse of the companies design future. The Shinari concept is the first example of Mazda’s new design language “KODO” that will replace the popular Nagare language. I can’t wait to see how this will effect the looks of existing models like the Mazda 6 or the 3 once they adapt the new language to them.

I also found this Autoblog page with tons of pictures of the Shinari. Enjoy and let me know what you think about the design.
