    This is why local tire business fails...

    I totally agree. I had already priced tires at Tire Rack, but went to Discount Tire for comparison. For 16" wheels with snow tires they quoted me $700. I told them online was $400 shipped and they told me I was crazy, almost to the point of insulting me. They said I couldn't get steelies for...

    does any1 have this problem?

    I get lots of play when I hit freeway bumps. It shoots me all over the place. I don't know if it's normal, but it sucks! I think it has to do with the wide tires, since it's not as bad with my winter wheels (skinnier tires).

    E-40 "Big Ballin With My Homies" Jay-Z "Dirt Off Your Shoulders" Outkast "Hootie Hoo" Twista "Adrenaline Rush" (the whole album, not just the song) Speaking of Master P, check out West Coast Bad Boyz Vol 2, its full of Bay area rappers and it knocks

    Its gone...

    With those requirements, I think you made a good choice. The new Xb's look way better than the old and they are an economy car with space.

    final drive gears

    maybe not 3.73 your right that maybe too big for the smaller tires on the X so maybe some 3.23 or 3.43 thats still pretty small and still enough to give the X some more go factor I'm sure we don't have the option of just any size gear in the rear, but with a 3.73 in the back, different size...

    Good Air Wrench

    A good floor jack, stands and the stock lug wrench is all you need to rotate. Tire balance I don't worry about unless I can feel somethings outta whack. Air wrenches are nice if ya have the huge compressor to run it.

    Do Aftermarket speakers really sound that much better than stock?

    A headunit will make even the horrible speakers in the X sound better, but still not good. I think the stock speakers with an aftermarket deck could keep up with a small sub, as long as they were on a high-pass filter. Replace the speakers if you are looking to have any resemblance of bass...

    Honestly hows the Grill??

    I never liked that grill option because it always looked incomplete. Looks great when it all comes together. Nice Job!

    DJM control arm install (pics)

    Did you do the frame notch in the rear? I would like a couple of pics of that and any tips, think about doing the DJM drop.

    Component Speakers, dumb wiring questions

    I put my front x-over in the kick panels, that way I didn't have the long speaker wire runs.

    Break-In MPG...

    Outside temperature makes a big difference. I get 19-20 in the summer, but only 15-16 in the winter. It runs richer longer to warm up the truck when it's cold.
