I don't think it's the same person. The other guy has a 2005 and lives in Alaska. But...your link is still valuable all the same. OP, I have a 2003 and just this year I swapped out the xreas with Bilstein 4600's. I kept the original springs, and am completely happy with the superior ride and...

I'll second the frozen caliper suggestion. I've had two freeze on me in six years. A sudden drop in gas mileage was the first and most obvious clue. It's pretty easy to spot. Just go for a drive, then park. Then walk around the car and put your hand near all four brake pads. If one is Noticeably...

I've been running the Cooper AT3's for 6 years/70k miles. They have given me no reason whatsoever to try another tire. I adore these tires. After running BFG KO's for about 10 years prior to these. If you notice, I have the old AT3's on the back. And the new AT3 4S on the front. Worn UCA...

Don't feel too bad. I thought I was done yesterday, after a grueling month-long install. Then I was dialing in the amp gains last night only to find the subwoofer channel in MY new amp is dead. Good news: I did buy from Crutchfield, and a new amp is on the way. But still...f.r.u.s.t.r.a.t.e.d!

Thought I'd throw up a close-up of the hood scoop. Maybe not for everyone, but I like it. That thing was pretty beat.

HA! I'm finishing up the install of my Sony XAV-AX5000 right now. It just went in an hour ago. A month-long install overall, including new everything. Head unit, speakers, amp, wiring, sound deadening, and sub, all new system. All I've said the past few days is it better be worth it. I'm...

So it's finally done. Short story... I wanted to use 2K urethane paint and I've been shooting finishes for ~30 years, just on guitars, not cars. So I called up the local car paint supplier and told him what I wanted. Satin. Not gloss, not flat, but satin. He said he didn't have 2k in Satin, only...

Making Cladding Awesome today. The rear bumper is being done off the car. As the front bumper will be done tomorrow.

Wellsir, I thank you for knocking one to-do off the list. I'll go with something larger in the lower bumper instead then.

I had a C-4 hood scoop light on my to-do list as well. Which Rigid light fixture did you get? They have the SR series with sub-choices, and the SR2 series, also with sub-choices. So I think there's a total of about 7-8 different choices for the Rigid. This shows them all in action and the...

I certainly concur with that :rockon:. Mine had no surround left nearly at all when I removed it. I decided to upgrade to a 10" sub and re-purpose the JBL box for the new crossovers and amp.

I wouldn't have a problem just cutting out the grille if that's what you wanted to do. He recommended CYA glue to re-install the grille which I would Not do. I would find a more suitable adhesive myself... I see CYA glue on a vertical surface as turning into a mess rather quickly. But if you're...

Is that Calvary or Cavalry?

I do not consume Cheetos, Tostitos, or Doritos.

Yeah, I figured all ^ that out as I was fixing my 'intrusion'. Which is how I did the passenger front door. Passenger door was a piece of cake once I disassembled the driver door properly. Live and learn... Funny you mention the hole in the boot... I tried everything, nothing worked, couldn't...
