Hey as long as I don’t blow this truck up we will be fine. The bike is minor lol. Now to just get this damn cigarette smell out of the truck...

And Columbus I’ve got a yfz450x I’m usually on. Just got a bike for something different.

Headlights and tie rods will be on the way this weekend. Also gonna get my windows tinted full retard :D

Probably just gonna go with the XD rods again. Had good luck with them last time and with the warranty, hard to beat. Unless anyone has some for sale. Just don’t know if I wanna spend $300+ on rare parts or kryptonite.

I’ve had good luck on rare parts
Compared to the moog we run on the work trucks I’ve gotten twice the life so far so that’s worth it in my book (time doing it-picking up the parts-price of parts-realignment)
That was also 3 years ago now so maybe there’s some new ones out that I don’t know about?

For the price of sleeves and 2 new tie rods I can get the xd rods. These tie rods have about an inch of play. They’re pretty bad lol

I got a homemade egr delete kit for $250 I'll sell.
I would replace the blower motor and resistor for the hvac, mine was pulling too many amps at level 5 and would burn up the resistor and wiring harness.

And they didn't change the trim levels in 06, my window sticker says lt3, ltz didn't come around till 07. My old neighbor has an ecsb 06 lt with cloth captain seats, center console with no bose. Weird combo forsure
Does anyone have these part numbers? I need to replace mine now.

Just found my headlight project. Gonna do pretty much this. Same color and everything. Demon eyes behind them. And for the bumper lights I’m gonna paint them the same white and use morimoto mod pods. Switchbacks for the turn signals and dual intensity for DRL. Wire them so that the low output comes on for DRL and bright for the running lights along with the white on the switchbacks. Possibly use them for reverse lights as well.
