You have one of the coolest 1st Gens I've seen.

I wish Shrockworks would offer the bumper hoop like the one you have. That angled hoop is way cooler than theirs.

Sad day for the X, was out doing some errands, went to start and truck.. and nothing. doesn't even turn over. Battery is only 1 year old and all electronics seem to be working fine so.. maybe starter or fuel pump? :(

Put it in drive then back in park to make sure the park neural switch isn't sticking inhibiting a start. If you drive manual then make sure you are pushing the clutch down far enough. Check all the terminals check to see if the starter solenoid is stuck. Have someone turn the key while you tap the solenoid with a hammer.

I thought I was done with the X, as far as wheeling went, wasn't really into it anymore (no one close by to wheel with).... but my friend just bought a rubicon and we want to do lots of wheeling this summer so I suppose its time to dump more money into the X

Tomorrow I'll be ordering HD TRA's, shrockworks skidplates & hopefully in about a month or so I'll be able to get new 32x11.50 KM2's

Soo glad you decided to keep wheeling/building it. Your X is awesome man. So much hard work into it. I really enjoy following your build.

Not sure, I'll have to take a closer look later today, I'm guessing one side was already broken or getting close to breaking, and then yesterday when I was just driving down the street the other one gave out, was a pretty loud bang

Leafs have been replaced, shrock skids,TRA's & KM2s ordered.

Hooked my buddy up with a 50" light bar and spent the day installing it. Took the whole day since the windshield bolts were loaded with loctite, some of the heads stripped and it wasn't fun at all but I finally got it done

When I got the leafs replaced I had told the owner the height I wanted but that message probably never got passed to the installer.When I got home with the truck I wasn't happy with the height (rear wheel gap was lower than front) Went back to the shop today to have them re-arched, they also added another leaf. Did all that work for free so im happy, since I paid top dollar the first time

Pretty terrible right? The leafs were pretty much sitting on the overload leaf, it was so loud and rough even hitting the slightest bumps in the road.
Rides really nice now and overall im happy.

Wednesday the HD TRA's will be going on

If you are referring to the last few pics.. I WISH that was my garage lol, that was the suspension shop. The X barely fits in my garage with the roof basket on it

Got the new TRA's on the truck today... now it's just a waiting game for my shrock skids to get here
