    Headlight Installation

    Thanks for all the help guys. I got them in today. It was a pain in the butt to pull the tabs up though. I think because it was so cold out they were kinda frozen so I actually had to pry them up with a flat spackel-like tool. It was no fun doing that and freezing my butt off but the lights work...

    Car Clubs and names???

    Some buddies and I started our club: Motor City Minis. It is for people in the Detroit area who drive what we call "miniature trucks" like the X sport, Ranger, Sonoma, etc. instead of the Big behemoths like Expeditions, Escalades, Tahoes and F-250's.

    Headlight Installation

    Okay, I got new Silverstars for my '02 Sport and this may sound like a stupid question but what exactly do I have to do to put them in. What I mean is do I have to take the whole headlight out or is there a way to access the area from inside the engine compartment? I know from other posts that...

    neons and other aftermarket lights

    Make sure you check your local laws because they are different from state to state, city to city etc. I don't believe there are any federal laws regulating that kind of thing. I know in Michigan where I live there are a number of laws like that including a limit of I believe 4 lights in the...

    18's, 19's or 20's

    Here is a pic of my X with 18's. I love em but as you can see there is still room in the wheel well. I plan to get it dropped to close the gap but if you can afford 20's thats what I would do because 20's look great!Dead Link Removed

    Tie Rods

    Does anybody know if Tie Rods are normally covered under a lease? Mine are bent and they need to be replaced. It is going to cost over $300 at Belle Tire so I would prefer to get it done at the dealer if it is covered under the lease agreement.

    Steering Wheel/Column Off-Center

    Okay the problem is: My steering wheel or steering column is off center. When the wheels are perfectly straight the steering wheel itself is turned at an almost 90 degree angle to the right. I can tell it is not the alignment. When I let go of the wheel it doesn't pull to any direction but the...

    It's That time of Year

    Well, today I took my rims off and put the stock wheels back on for the winter. My X looks naked now. I don't know what else to say. Its a very sad day. Well hopefully March will come around pretty quick so I can put the rims back on!

    Hollow and Rattling Sound

    Okay, I will try to explain it the best I can. Every time the bass thumps instead of being a solid bump with power and vibration like I used to have it is a less solid rumble and right when the bass hits it rattles like it was hitting someting causing it to shake. I don't know but it sounds a...

    Hollow and Rattling Sound

    I just got new subs and I understand that all subs sound different but these seem to be more hollow sounding and it seems as if they are rattling. I think it may be because they are not screwed in tight enough. Any other suggestions as to what may be causing the hollow sound and the rattling?

    Blown Amp?!?

    OKay first off if I did sell it on ebay I would sell it as is explaining the problems. I think the description given was satisfactory to get the point across that it doesn't fully work. But there are people out there who know more about these things than I do. Maybe they want a busted amp for...

    Blown Amp?!?

    The other day my system just stopped working. I took it in and they said the amp was blown. It still lights up and gets power but it doesn't have any output. It hasn't worked in 4 days and on the way home from the shop it comes back on for one song (Eminem) and then went off again. Now I don't...

    Underbody tube went out! AAAAH!

    I think you've seen pics of it before but I plan to lower it next summer and in the meantime add more neons (I have the underbodies, a few inside plus glow wire inside), clears, billet grille, and I am putting in a knight rider scanner and a huge horn that plays the dukes of hazzard theme!

    Underbody tube went out! AAAAH!

    I had the passenger side tube go out on my X. I ordered a new one through this shop I frequent. This was before Labor Day! First it was back ordered then they got robbed and my tube was one of the things taken (along with about 40 wheels!) but needless to say I have been w/out a tube for over a...

    Horn Istallation?

    I have a horn that plays the Dukes of Hazards theme. It is quite large...6 horns and a little engine to power it. I have pictures if it would help but nobody can seem to fit it in the engine compartment of the '02 Sport. I'm wondering if anyone has one of these or has any ideas where to put it...

    System is Haunted!

    When playing music at high levels for a long period of time my subs just go out...I don't know if this is because it is overheating and it is a safety precaution or what but its very irritating. It goes back on after a few minutes but it may go off again by itself if I keep it loud. Any ideas...
