    Weekend_Warrior's '99 XLT Rig

    I get them online from place like operationparts.com, bravo company, rifle gear, midewest px, SKD tactical, etc. The key is to really figure out what you want before ordering, to get the most items in a single shipping batch. It will save you a lot of money vs doing it as 1 offs. If I were...

    Need Battery Recommendations for my 99 XLT

    The store down the way has an optima with a CCA of 800, and a Super Start Extreme battery with a CCA of 850. The Super start is $80 cheaper too. ($114 vs 195)

    Looking for Urban / Snow camo accessories for my '99 XLT

    It would look sick if your truck was black and had the gray interior. My truck is white though, so the urban is too dark for my tastes. I might have to end up going with it for the seats if I can't find a snow camo seat cover

    Weekend_Warrior's '99 XLT Rig

    Ebay - Just search "Protected by AR-15" I got 2 of them for I think $5 or $6 delivered. They are small - 4.5"x1.3" - perfect for windows. I saw another one I am debating on getting that says: Criminals Beware We Shoot Back I just have a feeling that would be a magnet for getting...

    Need Battery Recommendations for my 99 XLT

    Replacing the battery in my XLT - need something that is a good reliable battery. Have lots of electronics in the car to feed while driving, and take it too really cold weather often. I don't know anything about batteries -if you couldn't tell- and I have searched the forum (but as you can...

    Weekend_Warrior's '99 XLT Rig

    Its super clean not a dent or a scratch on it! I was super lucky in that sense. I have gone over the truck very carefully and there is not a single dent on it! I am still mystified how this truck made it this long without getting doored once. The interior is equally as nice, no scratches...

    Weekend_Warrior's '99 XLT Rig

    Lucky man, love those SBRs! We can't have those in CA. The closest I got is my 14.5" with pinned and welded FH/MB for a total length of 16.1". I am looking into ways to turn my explorer into a dedicated shooting truck and snow truck. I am thinking about doing some custom work to make a rifle...

    Looking for Urban / Snow camo accessories for my '99 XLT

    I drive up to Tahoe every weekend. I get about 40 days in a year on the mountain (during the Winter) and get a large number of days in during the summer as well. I like to say I live in Tahoe and I work down in the Bay Area. In fact I'm going up tomorrow and coming back Tuesday night, so I...

    Weekend_Warrior's '99 XLT Rig

    Yeah they were basically built as 1 giant FU to the ultra-liberal establishment I have to live amongst in this city. Last year our Board of Supervisors spent money and time to pass a ban on de-clawing cats in San Francisco, this year they are banning happy meal toys. It drives me crazy...

    Looking for Urban / Snow camo accessories for my '99 XLT

    Yeah I want to do something better than a Rattle Can job. They chip to easy, and don't always come out looking great. At least in my experience. I was think of doing a snow camo Vinyl on the bottom part of the doors. Here is the vinyl I was thinking of using, followed by a picture of a truck...

    Looking for Urban / Snow camo accessories for my '99 XLT

    Anyone know where I can get Urban or Snow Camo seat covers, dash kit, bug deflector, or anything like that? My truck is a snow truck and I thought it would be cool to go all out on that. Anything you can think of would be great! Camo Patterns of Interest. Anything like these: Thanks...

    New Member - Hello! / Specs on my Rig / Resources for researching lift

    Yeah I have gotten that suggestion from a number of people for the Lift. I think I would rather do that and put in some time working on it vs shelling out 2k to get the other lift package bought and installed. Regarding the lights - what are you running? Thanks! -WW :salute:

    Hello from California - New member

    :us::us::us::us: I am from San Francisco and I recently bought a '99 XLT in impeccable shape. It's got about 120K miles on it right now. I re-did the electronics in it (audio/video, radar, navigation, etc.) and am looking forward to a 5" lift! I mostly use my car for transportation from...

    New Member - Hello! / Specs on my Rig / Resources for researching lift

    Thanks a lot Paraphoe. Is guess the real question would be if it is cost prohibitive or not? What is the range is cost for doing a 3-5" lift if I have someone else do it? I have tools, but I don't have any experience working on cars nor any way of getting the car up in the air that I can...

    Its just a little flesh wound... It's still good, it's still good!

    I love the plastic sheeting windows held in with water proof duct tape. BRILLIANT!

    New Member - Hello! / Specs on my Rig / Resources for researching lift

    Jason - thanks for the advice. After browsing for awhile last night I certainly felt overwhelmed. I know it comes down to just putting the time in to learn how the forum works and where the good information is. When I first joined Calguns.net it was the same way, now that place feels like...
