Xoutpost.com - What did you do to / for your E53 today??

getting new taillights, exhaust, got spacers to get more ride height and well as offset. Gonna mount 20 inch ATX Artillery rims with wrangler duratracs or i'll stick with nitto terra grapplers. Got the Rigid LED pods wired to a hidden switch, for the exhaust I got the X-Pipe running straight back to flowmaster 44s. The whole engine I going to be rebuilt, new rockers, new valve guides, springs, head gaskets, valve covers, timing chain, and guides. Just pulled trans to rebuild that as well. got skid plates fabbed for the undercarriage. Last thing is going to be to swap the tcase to make it a true 4X4

Phwoar. I'm liking the sounds of this!

Drivers side acle

Well, I've been an X5 owner for a week. Bought this rig with 88,000 miles. I noticed it had a torn drivers side CV boot. I opted to just replace the whole axle shaft. I did notice when I was under it, the passenger side has been replaced before. It took me about two hours to actually r&r it. I spent a little while cleaning the back side of my rims. They were greasy/dirty so cleaned them up too.

Did Valve Cover gaskets, CCV's, all CCV hoses, belts, pulleys, and an oil change on Friday.
Got my sport seats installed and coded today.

Yep,a very steady hand but very ,very slow job and I was scared shi*less everytime I went to cut it and dremel it :(..Not doing that again ,at my age :D
ButI think it was worth it in the end,now it just needs "wrapping up":)
