It needs new sway bar bushings and has a loose shifter... other than that, it's perfect (minus the 9.5mpg :P)

It'll (mpg) get better in the summer. Some good threads on the sway bar and shifter fixes here, just do a quick search for pics and some step by step instructions.

Congrats on the new X and welcome to the club!




May the EMG (Excursion Mod God) richly bless you.

Some of the forum Mod Ministers will begin to teach the gospel to you very soon.

Dont be bashful to seek counsel from them before modding.

I have and my life has been changed.

Ran it to a small local shop today to ge the AC system looked at and an quote to see how many arms and legs i was going to have to save up to cover the cost. Turned out to be a high pressure switch cost me 60 bucks to have it fixed. We got to talking and he is an old X owner only sold it cause of the MPG. He asked me if i was planning on doing anything to it. I told him small stuff that needed to be done before i went into bigger stuff that dont need to be done. He told me to call him and he give me a day after hours to bring it up and we could use his shop to do whatever to it. So that has stirred the bug up really bad.
