[caseycamby]

I saw yours... And I just had sitting it the back and thought, why not?! We'll see how long it lasts haha

 

[Jackel]

Hood risers are so helpful. I had some on mine a few years ago. Easy to install too; took me maybe two hours if even that.

 

[caseycamby]

And it looks cool! That's the main reason haha

 

[bigjim247365]

so much yellow in those last few pics lol

 

[caseycamby]

Also, plasidipped these little pieces..

 

[Edodrian]

Ok that is pretty cool haha. But I dare say they make them for the X haha!

 

[caseycamby]

Picked up an 8 piece Kobalt ratcheting metric wrench set to carry in the X for only 25 bucks at a pawn shop. It looks brand new, not a scuff on it. It sells new for around 90 bucks.

 

[02Xterra]

Nice! I have a 9 pc metric and 9 pc standard set of the Gearwrench flex head ratcheting wrenches.. i use those more than any other tool. Best invention ever lol

 

[Roadwarrior]

I am jealous.. I need to expand my tool collection.

In due time.

/They need to be some how yellow.

 

[caseycamby]

I've been wanting these for some time but all that I've seen have way too pricey for me so when I saw these I had to get them. I'm just trying to find excuses to use it now

My grandpa has a set in standard and they are super handy. Tucker when we were doing the resonator delete I remember saying it'd be handy if we had these haha just a little late but better late than never

 

[Intender]

hmm, wonder what it would take to make it work because it looks pretty good
good looks and functionality is a good combination.

 

[CaptainMorgan_SOS]

I've thought about throwing one of those on for some time now! Or maybe even going with some 280 Z hood vents.

 

[Big_THanks]

Thanks a lot guys now I want one but my 1.5 gen hood isnt as flat as that one.

[CaptainMorgan_SOS]

I actually think it would look/fit well on the 1.5 gen hood. I think it would be pretty nice fit right on the hood bulge.

Yeah it may fit well. Now I'm going to be looking for a good deal on one of these.

 

[GPD605X]

There's a fronty guy who did it to his and it looks good. Him and a buddy did it on his X and front. I think his SN is Car Jeep?

 

[JayAre]

Yeah, that was CarJeep. Sweet mod, and he claimed it was pretty easy, once you nut up and decide to cut a giant hole in your hood. And Casey, super sweet rig here man.

 

[caseycamby]

Thank you, sir! I appreciate it!

 

[caseycamby]

Ok guys... This Friday and possibly Saturday will hopefully include the installation of the new idler arm, TRAs and TREs as well as an alignment afterwards. So I'm also thinking about indexing my front end again, the weight of the bumper and winch have made it saggy. I was checking out the gaps between the UCA and the bumpstop and this is what I saw.. First is the passenger and the second is the driver side.. Use my finger for reference

That's a pretty big size difference. And it's sitting on fairly level ground.. What do you guys make of this? I'm gonna try to find a level piece of ground and actually measure the ride height. Regardless of if I lift the front end or not, I'm probably gonna take a leaf or two out of the rear end to level it up.. What do you guys think of all this??

 

[NismoFire]

dat gap, tho!


Tape measure and level ground are your friends. I'd re-index anyway, even without the difference in gap, but yeah....

That's what I'm thinking... I'm gonna have to get an alignment anyway! Haha
