Yeah, i'd have to agree with @Tech By Trade I know there is at least one difference in that the later 3rd gens switched to electronic throttlebody. I'm sure there are other changes as well so using the long block and swapping accessories seems like a good plan.

Thanks for getting back. I ended up using the avi lines like @87350gta since it looked like they needed a lot less bending. Brakes are working but I feel like there is a lot of pedal travel. Bled the lines twice. Think I'm going to do a full flush and change fluid out for new stuff.

@firefly1246, I'm in the middle of my upgrade now. Did you use the explorer brake lines on the aviator calipers? The aviator lines run upward off the caliper while the explorer lines run down and then curve back up very close to the caliper. I don't think they'll fit around the larger aviator...

I'm wondering if anyone has experience with/used SKF X-Tracker Hubs. Supposedly they have a double bearing design and may be a solution to the weak hubs we are all used to on these 3rd Gens. Here is the part page from SKF https://www.vsm.skf.com/us/en/products/BR930456 and a video on the...

I was looking for a roof basket and found this beauty. Seems to be in great condition from the pics and at a fair price, especially for the (somewhat rare) NBX. Selfishly, I tried to buy the roof basket off him but he's not interested at this time. So I hope someone here can pick this up...

@fedyfedz I'm very interested in what you did but I can't see the pics. Any chance you can update this?

I finished mine last night, I updated the google doc with my findings.

Hey BigRondo, Thanks for your contributions. I was just reading up on a couple of your posts but the pictures are missing, some error about needing to update photobucket account. This is the post I was reading but I assume anywhere you posted pics is the same problem...

wow, nice truck @vandy96. more pics and deets!

I just installed mine. Still need to work out some kinks in the wiring but I am taking notes and pics of everything. I have both mirrors hooked up for power adjustment right now and both operate with reversed up/down. I intend to address this either by switching pins in the controller harness...

Found some on ebay!

There is a lot planned for the coming weeks including: -Stripping/cleaning my corroded EB 17s (with 31" BFG KO2s) down to the machined aluminum face. -Bedlining and Reinstalling the body trim and tubular step bars -Installing BTF Spacers and UCAs for a 2.5" lift -Installing aviator brakes...

I drove the truck for a week and I still had a lot of painting supplies in the back. Early in the 1st week I was smelling some fumes. I drove with the windows until i had a chance to get all of that stuff out. Once I did, It helped the situation but I had forgot a tarp in the trunk area that may...

Thanks for the writeup and all the info. I just picked up a driver mirror for 30 bucks and will be grabbing the passenger tomorrow for ~60. Just a thought about the reversed functions... I know you worked thorough a lot of the issues at the connection to the mirror, did you try swapping the...

The V8 also uses plastic guides that can wear out similar to the V6. However, the entire setup is in the front of the motor. The job is 10 times easier than the V6. Using a couple walkthroughs I found on here I did the whole job in a weekend. To my knowledge the only difference with AWD is the...
