LOL! I'll take it. You can never have too many lifted big old trucks! Oddly enough, you can have the truck, if you come get it. I hate to part with it, but have too many projects. At this point I am either selling it to local rancher for ranch duty's.... OR leaving it parked up on dad's place for a few more yrs, until its a true classic.

The waiting is killing me, hurry up and get here closing day of my house.

The F-250 just scream's BUILD A TRUGY OUT OF ME, but I don't have the time or space.

I have WAY to many vehicle's. I had given my '77 F-250 to my brother-in-law, but he has never came and picked it. So I finally called him and said give me the tittle back if I have to store it for you too.

I bought mine from this place, they had an ebay store also. http://downsouthmotorsports.com/c-63524-all-off-road-shocks-o-e-m-replacement-shocks-bilstein-shock-absorbers-bilstein-pre-load-adjustable-5100-series-shocks.html

I was reading about that. Yours are not adjustable? When I buy I go see my father in law, parts at cost. My front one's are adjustable. I believe you can set them in 1/2" increments, up to 2". (2.5" on your's) Parts @ cost is good.

Looks like a fun project. I would love to have the portal axle's.

The Xterra being the Off-Road edition, came with the yellow Bilsteins. I was not impressed with the handling, is why I upgraded.

Did you stay with the stock height? Yes, stock height on the Xterra. The front Bilsteins upper mount can be used to achieve up to two inches lift, but the W likes it stock.

I installed the 5100's on the Xterra and couldn't be happier. I have the 5150's on the blazer too.

bilstein, without a doubt Juat wish they offered them in another color. Are you refering to not liking the yellow? If so buy the 5100 seires and they are brushed zinc finish.

Once you plug the PXA-H100 into your head unit it will unlock the manual controls for the x-overs ,EQ, and T/A. NO need for the KTX-H100 tuning kit. The mic and discs function is for auto calibration. The laptop program lets you pick and download two (out of 3) auto tuned FR curves. You can switch between the two auto tuned settings or back to manual with the push of the imprint button on the HU. I didn't care for the auto tuned settings, they where way to dry or sterile sounding for my tastes.

I hate when this happens.

Everything look's clean jellybean. You definetly don't disappoint with your builds. You obviously are impressed with the MS-8, I would love to use one in a future build. Keep up the killer work.

So the W says we are buying a new flat screen for the house. I haven't a clue yet which one I am going to buy. I am after a 55 inch one, anybody know of a good deal anywhere?

I showed my trailer yesterday to a potental buyer and it looks like I already have it sold. Sounds like they are going to pay in full, but I won't know until sometime this week.

I made a huge pot of vegetarian chili this week. Oh man does it pack some gas.

Lol I'm actualy putting a motor on it. Just need a rear wheel A friend of mine mounted a motor on a bike once. He used a weed wacker motor with a hockey puck up against the front tire. LOL

Happy Birthday to the man!!

The Box came out super clean looking Hopper. Good choice of building material. I am interested in seeing how the front stage comes out. You sure love them Caddy's. My dad is a Caddy lover too, he probably still has a 500ci or two stashed.

As long as the weather is nice on my day's off I will be happy. But so far they are calling for rain for the next 10 days.
