May not want to engine's as they have their own forums. I think Stewart wants to keep it specific to the X's. Engines and tranny's are covered in the other forums.

Now just add links to various threads. I'm sure there should be some additional/different headings to accommodate for things like towing and engine specific.

Thanks for the reps.

We just bought the EX a week ago and the wife might have already decided that it's going.

It was going to replace the minivan as her main vehicle, but she doesn't like it. It needs work to fix the steering wander and she says it's just to big for her. I'll try changing her mind over the next week, but in the end it's her decision since she would be the main driver. Wish me luck.

At least we could put links to those sections of the forum.

You guys have done a lot of the work for me, thanks!

I'll take the formatting and suggestions and tweak them a bit and get the tech folder redone shortly.

Thanks for the help guys, it's really appreciated! And just a reminder, if anyone has a suggestion for a thread to be added to the folder, PM the link to either me or Tor.

I've been doing this on my own time and wonder if there's someway you can take the Excel Sheets I have started and also include them

Maybe I can email these to you Stewart, and you can do something with them

I would love it if anyone can add to it as well.

Steph, What about just starting a thread with those attached? Then we can link to them in the tech folder.

Sure I can definitely do that and have it like a General Part's # Reference but is there a way to attach a file to a thread?

I have it all in Excel now, and can save it as a PDF, but I want to be able to make sure it stays in the format I have it in so that it's pretty easy to just reference items.

Also it would be good if people can add to it because most of it is for 4x4 X's
