Steven's Bedlined X

[TN4x4Xterra]

Dude, I'm sorry for your loss.

You have our full support, no matter what.

Keep us posted on this progress.

 

[stevencox93]

I will and thank you. I got alot of weight on my shoulders for a 20 year old but its nothing i cant handle. I got just to stay focused keep my faith and trust in gobble and know my mom is in a way better place and at peace and that we will see each other again one day.

 

[TN4x4Xterra]

That's the best way to look at it is to stay positive and your mom would have wanted that.

Hang in there.

I think we all should at least honor your mom in some way at NXM4 since it seemed like she really wanted to come along with you and totally supported your Xterra plans.

 

[stevencox93]

Oh she loved the X. She even got mad when I didnt bedline it green and couldnt wait for me to bedline her Tahoe. We are a bedliner loving family lol

 

[Xterrafauss]

The thing that makes this community great isn't just our trucks it's the people who ride inside them. Every single one of those people are here for you man.

I am very sorry for your loss and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Man that is terrible to hear. I pray everything goes smoothly and if you ever need advice just ask. There's a lot of people here with real life experience that would give you advice if you just ask.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Wow, I am also very sorry for your loss. I am not much older than you (just turned 21) and I could not imagine the weight that was just dropped on your shoulders. You sound like the type of guy who can handle himself though.

As others stated, we are here for you. If you need anything post up; if you need it to be private, do not hesitate to contact myself or any of the other mods. We will do what we can.

In light of the situation I am very glad to hear that you will be at NXM4 slash the first ever wentWINDROCK.

[Macland]

Steven how old are your brothers?

 

[stevencox93]

Thanks everyone for all the kind words. Yes it will forever change my life but nothing can brake my strength. I got a great support group here full of moms friends and all the students she met here at Lincoln Memorial University and Debusk College of Osteopathic Medicine. My brothers are 11 and 16

 

[NismoFire]

I have some sad news Im afraid. On Oct 28th, my birthday, my mom took her own life. Yall are a great group of people here and my mom got a kick out of how much I talked about this site and the people I talked about here and how much I loved yalls X's and she couldnt wait for me to get mine lifted and loaded and head out to NXM 4 with me. i am now a dad to my two younger brothers and having to fight in court against my deadbeat dad who is trying to take them away for a financial gain on his part. So I ask that you guys continue to keep me, my brothers, and my family in your prayers and dont worry my X will be lifted and ready to rock with yall at NXM 4 because I know she wouldnt want it any other way.

Dude....man.....wow. You got it.

 

[Prime]

Thank you everyone for all the support. I know the road ahead wont be easy but gobble has never let us down and has always brought us on top. Me and my brother went wheeling in the RZR this weekend to get away and lets say it was dirty picstures never do it justice.

 

[stevencox93]

Nothing new but here's a pic of our first light snow before thanksgiving

Then I gave her a bath and cleaned the undercarriage

 

[GPD605X]

Looks good man! Keep yourself busy man, helps out a lot.

 

[stevencox93]

Ordering my Calmini steering setup Thursday!

 

[Jmac289gt]

It is a good system as it is the one I went with too but mine did not come with the tie rod ends...just a heads up in case.

 

[stevencox93]

They advertise that it does come with them so they better or they will get a complaint from me. I mean ive heard the older kits use to not then I heard others did. If they advertise it they should atleast give them.

 

[Jmac289gt]

Well I just took a look at the site and it still does not actually say it comes with the ends if you read it real good, this is the same mistake I made and also the picture has some ends in it but they are for the Center Link. Again this is a good system, all you need to do is just get some new ends from a parts store unless yours are fairly new or in really good shape.

I see now what youre saying about the wording "uses" but never mentions "included" but hey if that's the case Ill pick up some new ones. Mine are for sure bad. I knew the steering was kinda already shot but some idiot was on my side of the road down a back road and well I took this big pothole and now I got crazy play in the Steering and crazy bumpsteer and I got 145K on the stock stuff so Ill just replace them anyways

 

[Jmac289gt]

See if Calmini offers a set to go with there kit, if not im sure they would know what a good brand would be, Im thinking Moog myself.

Well calmini emailed saying minimum 4 week back order and I can't wait that long so I went with grassroots centerlink, total chaos iab, new idler arm, new pitman arm, bandit 4x4 bushings, AC HD TRAs

 

[Jmac289gt]

I waited about 2 months to get mine, 4 weeks isn't that long unless you are going somehweres that you will need it on before hand.

[stevencox93]

Oh and I picked up a set of used 265/70/17 Mud Claw tires for $150 so ill let you guess what wheels that means Ill have

 

[Roadwarrior]

Might be interested in your old set

Sent from space and stuff

 

[stevencox93]

Okay I switched over the rims. Now don't laugh because I got street tires now lol


And Ill be adding my craigslist tires on the wheels soon

 

[Chetter]

Looking good....love the wheels!

 

[Xado89]

I liked your old wheels more. to each their own, though. Keep up the hard work, mate.

Yeah I understand but I had a few reasons for switching though. The Rockstars are the wheels us boys bought my mom for mothers day this year and we are gonna be selling her Tahoe soon and we couldn't really let them sell with the Tahoe and go to someone else. Also these wheels are powdercoated and the Hoss's were painted and get dirty easy and the clear coat needs some work like buffing and stuff and since ive been bedlined I now hate buffing, polishing, waxing and all that so they are a pain to me in that spec and I didn't want moms wheels setting in the basement forever. Im definitely changing the star and idk if the machined look is what I like. I may just painted or powdercoat the machined part to red to match the truck like this jeep. But only on the spoke parts

 

[stevencox93]

Well last night we got some snow and ice and let me tell you all that on bald street tires suck so I hurried and got the tires on early and washed her up to get some salt off.


Then started on a project....

 

[stevencox93]

 

[Roadwarrior]

Those are going to look mean. Do you have any of the bedliner left over? What if you color matched with that? on more than just the stars

Yeah I do and thought about that but I wondered if I did that If it would affect the balancing of the wheels and mounting them on tires. but I wish I could find a pic of the other jeep I saw with color matched rockstars
