Thanks man. It's an auto with 123000 miles. It's got the xlt options. It needs some paint correction on drivers side door but other than that its really nice. It had the oil filter from hell on it though. I changed it last night along with oil and it took me about two and a half hours to get oil filter off and the filter is destroyed lol. I'd like to possibly put the wheels on new truck but I'm keeping them on old truck to get it sold quicker because they make the truck look great. If I can find a set of stock wheels ill swap my black wheels out though.

Thanks guys! I'm thinking Harley headlights and shorter antenna are in order. Maybe some black rims haven't decided yet. Other than that I'm not going to lift or put bigger tires.

Not the best, but here are some recent shots of mine. Also here's my 03 Elantra I bought and have done some work to. I sure love $40 fill ups to go the same distance as the truck can.

I found out something last night that may be of interest to any one running an Edge Evo in our trucks. I pulled mine several months ago after replacing my PCM, feeling it was probably a bad cable that caused the issue. Finally called Edge on it last night, hoping they would offer an upgrade to a CS or CTS. Ends up they have a new cable out for the EVO in our trucks. Cost is 75 bucks, with the caveat that the bad cable could have damaged the EVO. Ended up talking the tech into using my EVO as trade in on a CTS. Ended up with a CTS for about the same cost as their new removable falsh tuner.

Lookin good guys!!!!!


Here's where I'm at now. Just painted my grill black. It was that weird silver color. Next steps:

paint the bottom valance to match the grill

just bought some wheels off a fellow member here, should be on next week. Nothing fancy, but I needed true wheels! My blades are bent!

front calipers

Nitro shocks

and getting my front bumper lined up. It's "sagging" in the passenger side. Easy fix?

Thanks! Got a little bit more work to do, but it should last me a good couple years while I cringe at the rust on the cab corners.

Looking good man. If nothing is bent, you can just adjust the bumper brackets on the sagging side. Very easy if you have a set of wrenches and a socket set.

I checked out the bolts brackets when I had the grill removed. Looked simple enough. but I was unsure if it was a job for two people.
