That's a blue link to identify the chain as the correct chain for the TC.

Replaced the two thrust arms with my rebuilt thrust arms with polyurethane bushings. Brought a couple of use thrust arms from fellow xoutposter Garret Fell when he did his thrust arms. Removed the old bushings and installed the new polyurethane bushing. Rebuilt thrust arms went in without a hitch, and by rebuilding a set of thrust arms beforehand, I didn't need to fart around with also rebuilding the thrust arm that day.

Is that compressor one of the shreikingly loud ones (like mine)? I'd like a smaller footprint compressor, but I want one that doesn't require hearing protection when I use it. I already have tinnitus and it sucks -- don't need to make it worse.

It's loud, no doubt.

The advantage of this Rigid compressor is the ability to use as a surge supply.

My garage was over 90deg F while I was working, I set-up the top unit
in the laundry room (70deg air), and ran a hose to the lower unit I was working off in the garage.

No noise/added heat in garage, and compressor is drawing cool air to compress. Win/win.

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

Congrats on your mods
Sometimes its the simple things that make a big difference.
Love the black fog light covers that match the black grill perfectly.
Together with your headlight mod,you just rejuvenated your X5 by 10 years.

Thought ,I was done with my own mods,but I am liking your fog light covers

Always pleased to hear that one member is extremely helpful to another and in the case of Jay (Ricky Bobby) ,its members like him that give continuation to make Xoutpost what its been ,for the last 11 years

Been on vacation all week driving a rented Sonata. What a POS. Dreamt about driving my X5 last night. Just a few more hours and I'll be behind the wheel.

And thanks for noticing the black fog light covers. It's the small mods that make such a huge difference! I was really happy with that.
