"Better" depends on how you plan to use your vehicle. My wife's station wagon spends 99% of it's life going to the grocery store. I go to the mountains for the other 1%. The changes fit the use...and my budget.

I can see Westminster over the top of my backyard fence. If you want help or just need someone to stand behind you and say "you think that's a good idea?" while drinking a beer, my weekends are mostly free.
Welcome Amanda. Big bunch if kooks here lol.
