    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    I'm just quoting myself here to save some typing. My lift is done and new sneakers are on. Alignment is complete and although I forgot to get the printout from the shop, I believe it worked out well because it tracks perfectly straight. No squirreliness in the steering, no pull and handles...

    Disconnect antenna amp better reception than when connected? Huh?

    I messed with that connector last evening since I had read your post and was in there anyway. I had the opposite results. With it unplugged - zero AM. No question a better signal with it connected on both AM & FM. I know that doesn't remotely answer your question tho.

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    I had 3 shops quote mine. Install prices (not including delete of all the xreas lines etc, which I will do myself & not an issue for you) were $300, $325 & $500. I'm scheduled at the 2nd shop for 8/7. I have the tools & means to do it myself but just too busy with other projects and frankly...

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    Since I didn't get any comments/suggestions (this thread seems to have died off) I went ahead and pulled the trigger today... Not actually either of the 2 options I listed above but I'm doing Bilsteins all around with the Bilstein packaged coils on the front and Toytec Superflex HD's on the...

    Pre-Purchase Info, Modifications, Write-Ups, Quick Links, and FAQ's

    Coming from PA, the land of salt paved roads in the winter, I would look very closely under it at the extent of frame rust. Ideally, ask the dealer to put it up on a lift and let you inspect it.

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

    Thanks to all the tips gained reading this entire thread (no small feat) I did my HVAC cluster plus some others on a rainy Saturday. Couple minor things I learned to add here: All my LED's were from Superbright. I emailed them before buying and despite them saying their blue Neo4 should work...

    Pre-Purchase Info, Modifications, Write-Ups, Quick Links, and FAQ's

    Keep in mind my experience with these things is pretty limited at this point but I'll throw out my opinions based on that: - My specs when I was looking were actually identical to yours. Although I ended up buying an '04 - I patiently looked around for 6+ months before buying my '04 Limited...

    4th Gen Suspension Options/FAQ

    Looking for opinions on 2 different lift/suspension options: Over the last month, I've read pretty much ever page of this thread, but it's a lot of info for an old man to absorb.... so I'm looking for the current/easy input. Background: '04 Limited with the v8 & Xreas. Roughly 140k miles. I...

    Easy Weekend Mods

    For those doing the various plasti-dip mods; how well and for how long does it hold up? I've done a bunch of reading here and elsewhere and I get the impression it's not a permanent coating. I want to do my running boards and roof rack and would like something with some texture like Line-X...

    Lift and Tire Central (pics)... Post 'em Up!

    This looks perfect! Exactly the look I'm going for with the '04 V8 Limited I just picked up. Same tire is my first choice. How much trimming/cutting did you have to do for clearance? What size spacers?
