DaveC 11-13-2008, 08:50 PM That's a good looking black X man. Congrats. Can't wait to see what you've got planned for it.
tameroflions 11-13-2008, 08:52 PM so are you going w/ pml now instead of bl or both?

Xterra Mike 11-13-2008, 08:59 PM i think he has both planned. We have plans for the PML install the weekend after thanksgiving. Not sure with the BL.
silverbullet 11-13-2008, 09:28 PM Awesome looking X man.

Nice X. So Target security run you off?

and yeah the target people called the cops and they were A-holes and made me leave
tameroflions 11-13-2008, 11:16 PM the sway bar, when flexed, will dent your pass. side shock pretty bad. ditch it, doesnt affect the ride, and it will save the shock.

its coming off tomorrow :)
TN4x4Xterra 11-14-2008, 10:01 AM Mine's been off for about 4 months now and I dont feel any difference except on sharp curves but thats cuz I tend to go higher than the limit hahaha.
Broden21 11-14-2008, 10:22 AM if i roll over im going to come back on here and yell at every1 of you guys who told me to take it off.. not really but hey it would be a good story lol
TN4x4Xterra 11-14-2008, 10:24 AM You wont roll over unless you overdo yourself but I've not seen any X flip over except one but that X was SAS'd and swerved to miss a car and ended up flipping over but thats a different story. You will be fine. Just do NOT take the front swaybar off.
Broden21 11-14-2008, 11:18 AM ok sounds good
tameroflions 11-14-2008, 11:29 AM ive been driving w/out my front swaybar for about 2 weeks now, not too much difference, a bit sloppy, but its also alot more fun and alot smoother.
hustle 11-14-2008, 11:36 AM I may not be able to find you, but after zooming in I now have all your credit card info. Hm, what can I buy for the X today.
TN4x4Xterra 11-14-2008, 11:46 AM Please send me the digits :D hahahaha
Broden21 11-14-2008, 12:01 PM well guys id hate to ruin your fun with that but they were gift card and the all only have like 5 bucks on them.

TN4x4Xterra 11-14-2008, 12:03 PM hit refresh....should do the trick if you already saved the original with the changes added to it.
TN4x4Xterra 11-14-2008, 12:05 PM I hit refresh and now I see the blacked out plate.
Windows - F5
Mac - Cmd + R
Broden21 11-14-2008, 12:08 PM yep that worked good call
TomParis 11-14-2008, 12:37 PM ok noob question, whats a PML?
TN4x4Xterra 11-14-2008, 12:40 PM Poor Man's Lift.
Involves replacing the stock shackles with longer ones like the ones from AC and cranking up the tbars.
Gives you about 1.5 inches of lift.
DaveC 11-14-2008, 12:40 PM ok noob question, whats a PML?
Poor Man's Lift.
It's adding 1.5" lift shackles to the rear, and cranking up the t-bars about 1.5" to match in the front.
Cost is about $65 or so...hence, lifting it on a poor man's budget ;)
DaveC 11-14-2008, 12:40 PM Dammit...beat me by a second Stevin!!!!! Foiled again :mocking:
Broden21 11-14-2008, 12:41 PM ok noob question, whats a PML?

silverbullet 11-14-2008, 01:48 PM you can take your front sway bar off too. i've had mine off for over a year and i didnt notice much of a change.
TN4x4Xterra 11-14-2008, 01:50 PM you can take your front sway bar off too. i've had mine off for over a year and i didnt notice much of a change.
Its cuz your X is so heavy with all the stuff on it....thats why you dont notice much difference on it! ;) hahaha just kidding.
I've heard many members say they didnt like it and put it back on when they took their front sways off.
silverbullet 11-14-2008, 01:54 PM I can still drive it pretty quick no problem. i gett a little more body roll but I could probably cut own on that by taking the 50 lb spare off the roof. lol and getting new leaf packs because mine are so damn sagged. they're coming this summer though. My X is gping through a big transformation.
Broden21 11-14-2008, 02:22 PM i think im going to stick with just the rear off for now. anyone know why when i hit the breaks hard my front sway bar makes a poping sound????
TomParis 11-14-2008, 02:39 PM sounds like the Rubber Bushings might need to be replaced?
soccerbrace 11-14-2008, 02:39 PM Most likely your BJ
DaveC 11-14-2008, 02:41 PM How do you know it's your swaybar making the noise? I would tend to agree with James. Check your ball joints in the UCAs.
My bet is one or both of them are torn open.
Broden21 11-14-2008, 03:04 PM well when i got the car from a dealer they said it needed new wheel bearings it was like 500 bucks so i just did it and when i got it back it was making this popping sound so it took her back it the next day and they said it was my sway bar and that they dont know y its making that sound they also said it wasn't effecting anything performance wise so i was ok. Im just wondering if any of you guys have heard it on your X's i have a sound clip of it but i wont be able to upload that till sometime Saturday.
DaveC 11-14-2008, 03:10 PM Well, if it is the swaybar, the new bushings and links are fairly cheap. If you have a Pep Boys in town up there in PA, they have them in stock. Don't know who else would carry them where you can get them quick though.
Broden21 11-14-2008, 03:17 PM yeah ill try that i got some connections with some guys a Advanced auto parts ill see they have any.
DaveC 11-14-2008, 05:27 PM Yeah, Advance Auto should carry them as well, or at least be able to order them and get them in next day for you.
I think they're made by a company called "Poly Performance".
silverbullet 11-14-2008, 08:12 PM Energy Suspension Might be an option too
DaveC 11-14-2008, 08:18 PM Energy Suspension Might be an option too
That's what it is. I don't know where I got Poly Performance from...but Energy suspension is the one I was talking about.:aufkopfhauen-big:
Thanks Ian!!!
silverbullet 11-14-2008, 08:21 PM They're also offering the rubber pieces for the Diff Drop Kit now too. you just gotta get the DOM tubing.
Broden21 11-15-2008, 02:55 PM well i just ordered my bushings and links. also i started to get ready for my BL. and i took off my rear sway bar and and mounted my spare on my roof. what do you guys think??

TN4x4Xterra 11-15-2008, 03:25 PM Looks good.
Better make sure its strapped down really good and tight!
Doesn't hurt to invest in a bike cable lock to prevent theft. I've been hearing tire theft has gone up around here lately....gonna do that to mine by wrapping it around the frame.
Broden21 11-15-2008, 03:57 PM yeah i was thinking about getting one soon. maybe after i actually get some good rims and tires ill get one.
Broden21 11-18-2008, 12:02 PM I Ordered My Bl And My Shackles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
glazener24 11-18-2008, 01:07 PM I use a nice thick chain and a pad lock to lock my tire to my roof rack.
