Hi. These are a staggered OEM set. 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. I went with the OEM tire sizes of 275/40/20 and 315/35/20. Got them for $1,040.00.

If you are doing the bearing kit be careful putting in the small needle bearing. Daughters bf bent it.

You can't see it but the ring gear bearing has a clip on it also so don't try to press or hammer it out.

Yeah, I saw that clip when researching the job. All the bearings/seals look good.

I finally got around to doing a mod that I've been wanting to do since I first got the ride, few years ago.
After the installation of the Angel Eyes, I fell in love with the suv again. I didn't think I could like the suv more than I did already. This mod made it look newer, cleaner and more sophisticated! And at night, it looks even better!

I'd like to personally thank RickyBobby for helping me understand and guide me through this. Much respect.

Hey man - looks great and I'm so glad I was able to help! Little things like this make your X5 feel "new" again and you can fall in love again! Enjoy and looks awesome!

Wow that transfer case job does not look fun!

Here's the oil filter housing gasket I just completed on our 3.0i X5

Cool Rim colour change

Got tired of the silver rims on my E53 so I got some Bronze paint and changed the inner part of the rims. Looks better and even feels new to look at for a change.

Air compressor install

Installed a 12v compressor in the engine bay to aid for tyre failures.
