    If I get another project, I want to do that to my ix. That would be so bad ass.

    When I had a halfshaft pop out, I put it on a lift and neither front wheels were turning.

    If you lower it, expect the old front cv boots to crack in short order. So you might as well replace those beforehand, before you have grease all over your engine bay.

      I have not posted in a good bit on the status of my iX...she popped a rocker a few months back due to a flat lobe, that brought on a top end refresh. Then I did two stages of compound polish and finished with a cleaner wax and a sealer wax. Spent so much time tracking down a rear bumper and a mint door to replace the dented one.

      Up next is a suspension refresh from Sachs and then MAYBE do a 5spd swap(I have a line on a full setup).

      Enough of that, people only like photos ;D

      The entire car was a faded pink finish.

            So are you keeping it?

            Personally I think Polly needs a sister.

              I don't think so, I really want an FJ63 or an older 4x4 truck.
