This is sounding more encouraging! Thankfully there are at least a couple machinists in town (small town) I can get it measured and machined at.

I saw that Craigslist X5. Super tempting if it was local to me since it’s an LCI. I’ve put so much into my ‘01 though: factory tow hitch, t-case rebuild and front propshaft, new brakes and master cylinder, oil pan gasket, cats, windshield, airbag module, window regulators, door handle carriers…plus it was spec’d with the sport package which is fun.
