so its got some haul...i'm assuming since u didn't say you were dragging it or anything that its just a cruiser with potential for more :D...i'd say crossflow...if you have the cash go with a Be Cool unit (they have some good kits too) and if you don't have the cash i'd say griffin...hey aside real quick, i got a 72 also and i'd love 2 see some pics of yours... :cheers: 2 3rd gens...
