    Walker ss muffler bolts

    I just did this today with same parts and realized the bolts for the muffler to tailpipe aren't in the kits. I have to go back to the hardware store to find the right sizes. Make sure you pick up a can of VHT high temp to spray the weak weld and crimp points if you want to get another year or...

    Help me understand why my new 06 sport’s suspension looks so raked

    My 08 UrbanRunner looks like this probably because I'm at 58,000 still. XREAS is intact. It looked like this when I got it with 38,000 miles in 2014. I measured about a 2.5" rake and had wheelers send my new 6112's on the 1.3" setting. That should help level it more.

    How To: Headlight Bulb Conversion (H11 to H9 & 9005 to 9011)

    I just did this and used a H11 to H9 adapter kit, so the only trimming I needed was on the bulbs. They are much brighter, and since my bulbs were aimed properly before I've had no issues after several nights of driving. Best upgrade to the T4R yet, by far. Not having to use garbage after...

    How To: HVAC Bulb Replacement - 4th Gen

    You mean the two in the center behind the LCD? I saw another thread that stated this is a 6V connection vs the rest of the bulbs at 12V. This is why it's dimmer then the rest, but strange the 12V Amazon vs whatever the dealers are have a difference there. If the bulb is smaller even at half...

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    I went with a setup from Wheelers of 6112s up front set at 1.3" and a 1/4 spacer on drivers for my UrbanRunner Sport. They said this should level out my 2.5" rear rake from stock at this point. I went with Icon 2.0vs in rear as the 5100 made no sense there for my needs. Time to rip out that...

    DIY: Interior LED swap (cluster, HVAC, switches, window, *steering wheel)

    Yes, this is where I'm stuck. I will just use the standard white bulbs sans LED if I have to since it keeps dimming. Everything else in HVAC looks great with the Neos

    which caliper for 08 urbanrunner v6 xreas

    I have a 2008 UR as well and I noticed I have WH on mine. Urban Runners are basically sport editions when it comes to parts lookup. Just curious - was the pull to side really noticeable on yours? I can't tell if mine is bad or not. It had new brakes before I purchased, but probably original...

    FS: 4th GEN Carpet Floor Mats - Grey, $50 Boston, MA

    DIY: Steering wheel replacement with black wood wheel

    It was pretty easy swap and I love the feel of the wheel. It matches the dark wood on the console/doors and does ok against the alcantara. It came shipped very quickly in a few days from Taiwan to Boston. I was impressed. It does match the airbag cover very well, so no worries about matching...

    DIY: Steering wheel replacement with black wood wheel

    Thanks, I'll put a pillow over it and pull like an idiot when it comes time. I will update on that for those who care, but I'm sure each one is different. It matches my Urban Runner dark trim well from looking at pics. Edit: I see OP didn't use one, but recommends for obvious reasons. I know...

    DIY: Steering wheel replacement with black wood wheel

    I just ordered and got the $200 offer instantly. Given the price of these that is not a bad price for any wheel. I did ask the seller a question making sure the wheel comes with hand grips to hopefully get the wheel in the picture. The guy before me must had some greasy hands because no...
