Excursion Update

Went past the body shop, and they are almost complete with my dent repairs on my truck, they have it ready for the paint job I plan on doing on it in Jan.

My new double din Pioneer Radio arrived, my amp kit & rear view camera.


My Bilstein shocks will be here today, but I have to return for the stock height series. But they were nice and mailed the correct ones out too since I ordered the rear set as well.


few more things and this bad boy will be winter ready it's been a short but long journey to get this vehicle up to my standards.

I felt the same way on my first one before I sold it and now I'm at square one on my second one. Congratulations and I hope you get the X back soon.

15 years later I still feel the same way about mine every time I do something new to it.

DOC, I can't imagine WHY anyone would ever consider replacing their Xs springs with stock X springs over a B-mod & any letter of choice up front?????

I would imigiane they want to keep the ride height the same as stock. What's wrong with doing that ? My ex rode great at stock height when it was new.

Minimal lift, Maximum ride/handling in every aspect, VERY cost effective (the cost of new X springs must be staggering) certainly respectively. PLUS stock X springs do not last.
