Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself to everyone. Recently got hit by Harvey like most everyone else in Houston. Lost a few vehicles and found this 2003 Marauder to be my new daily driver. I flew up to Dallas last Wednesday to pick it up and drive it back to Houston. It has 148,000 miles but is super clean considering. Everything works on it, and it was a one owner car. The previous owner kept immaculate records and kept the vehicle well maintained. The engine is super quiet, but I will be replacing the chain tensioners and guides just for regular maintenance. I am a gear head so I will be doing upgrades soon, as of now it's all stock. Look forward to learning more about these cars, have been a fan of them since they came out. -Chris Byrne

Needs a good detail, should have that done in the next week or so. Full cut, buff and polish. I will post some pics tomorrow. It's black. I don't know the package, but it has the subwoofer. Don't know if they all have it or not. Will be putting in 4.10 gears, k&n air intake, tuner, and hopefully lowering a little bit. Metco control arms and watts link arms also, and maybe some exhaust mods. Nothing crazy loud though.

I don't know the package, but it has the subwoofer. Don't know if they all have it or not.All Marauders came with the same audio package from the factory, with the exception of the trunk-mounted 6-disc changer being an option.
BTW, :welcome1:

BTW, :welcome1:One MM came with a different radio and it's 1 of 1 with that option, can't recall the color.
Welcome to the OP. Get a hold of Marty from Mo's Speed Shop about the tune. He is a vendor here and his tune is top notch. :)

I will be going through Marty for the tune, been doing a lot of reading on here. Some pictures from this morning. Quick wash then sprayed it all down with Iron X and a carnauba waxing. Still needs a real detail to get some of the light scratches and blemishes out.

If your MM didn't come with one def get the EB Enterprises - Flux Capacitor.
O'Reilly has them on sale;

Theres a vid in the Tech forum on how to install it.

Dang it, no flux capacitor. But I did get a years supply of blinker fluid.

For the record, there were exactly 4 gen-4 Marauders built without subwoofers, 2 2003 and 2 2004. This is per the FPG records.

From the words of many satisfied customers of Marty, you will be very happy with the result. Welcome and enjoy your new ride.
