Very nice! Always liked your X...

thanks! I am super stoked to get my new-ish tires on. I have titan 6 spoke wheels and 285/65/r18 BFG AT/KO's to put on them.

Wow, thats really awesome dude. Where did you find the gauge cluster? i have been looking for one like that.

Good lookin short bus!

I love the white LED gauges! Those look great!

i swapped it out myself. it's my original cluster, just with white led's replacing the factory amber leds. The white faces are stickers that I found here:

Awesome man, thanks!

Gawd I LOVE those headlights So DAMN MUCH. I could look at pics of the front of your X all day and be happy. I think you should post up more pics of that beautiful front end. :-D

I wish they made those for the Gen 1 too

I wish that us first gen's could replace the clusters.. without tearing apart the entire dash.

Man, that is a seriously sweet rig. Love the headlights too.

Agreed.

One slick looking X.

Looks good sir. How did you handle the 4wd cutout for the cluster? What they have on their site is for a 2wd. Exacto knife?

thanks for all of the love guys (and gal!)

for the cutout, i just used an exacto knife. super easy.

and thanks mel, i DO have a nice front end. Now if i can just scrape some scrilla together for the SW group buy, I can get a nice rear end too!

I like it man! those lights do look good.

new stuff!

teaser of what's to come.

what the rear will look like once the body lift and titan wheels get installed.

I would let you drive me to school in that short bus every morning sir. Very nice so far.

Wow, I would just like to say, I'll ride that short bus any day! Looks great!

Great looking X man

thanks guys! can't wait for my shrock rear bumper to come in. That and the 2" body lift are going on at the same time

Are you going to paint the titan wheels?

i can't decide. I like the silver, but paint or powdercoat would look sweet too. i have some time still before i wear out my current tires. Plus i am waiting for my rear swingout bumper to come in. when it does, i'll put the body lift on at the same time. really on the fence though...

I think powdercoat would look great but that is my personal opinion..

put on my hood blackout last night

It is all looking real good man.

Very nice "short bus!" love everything about it!

Awesome!

Thats awesome man!

thanks guys!

I also got my front skid plate powdercoated and reinstalled. I had to use a 25" length of 2" steel tube to get the front skid and the bumper to line up after the body lift. looks and feels MUCH better now.

Congrats on being truck of the month! You need more pics of your front grill emblem on your OP. Gotta show off that stuff, haha

thanks!

working on my DRL's now. then I'm putting MH1 projectors into the stock housings. goodbye ebay projectors!
