What did you do to / for your E53 today??

I searched long and hard for one of the rare four-wheel coil spring cars.



Funny, my coworker has a 2015 Grand Cherokee and he had more problems with that car than my 2003 E53. Problem after problem after problem.

I have the Toolbox Widgets but until I saw your pic, I didn't know they had those snap in label thingies. I just ordered some.

That was the year after Chrysler was bought by Fiat.

They're great, but they don't come with color. Hit mine with an orange paint pen. Much easier to read that way.

Ours has been super reliable and a good daily for my wife. At 90k though crap is starting to break though. The air suspension is the latest, and frankly, it needed a full refresh anyway but the struts in particular are really pricy. I don’t know about the later x53 systems, but the rear leveling suspension on my e53 has been really reliable so far. I’m in my third set of airbags at 165k. Not great, but not terrible. The Arnott bags are not too expensive either. I like the fact that I can tweak the height to gnats-ass the lift back to front. When the compression goes though I’ll probably put springs in it, unless I can do an inexpensive rebuild on the compressor. There was a guy in England, or Europe I think who sold a kit…

So went to get 4 new to me wheels and 3 of them were trashed, cracked ended up buying the one good one and with a POS "Fortis T5" on it all for 700 Riyals.

Got tire swapped between wheels, the bad one welded and set aside for a spare....

PS. There is no possible way for me to hide this damn thing under the stairs.

Thanks Wpoll. I'll order one to put in the parts-locker!

Replaced the 4 spoke "lunchbox" with the sport steering wheel!
