Stephanie,
It looks great ! Question... do you plan on taking your 3.73 gears and upgrading the ratio? I too have 3.73 gears... but I plan on increasing the ration to 4.30... due to tire size increase. Will likely knock this out come spring time.
Any thoughts on that upgrade? or are you happy with what you have?

Well we used to pull a toy hauler but now its pretty much just for cruising around for fun, and road trips. So not sure if the gears would be worth it. I really like your black X (MountainWestDiesel), very good looking truck. How many miles on that 2005? How much height is the lift? Black is soooooo sweet even though its alot more work. |

Steph...
Thanks for the compliment. My Ex has been a labor of love. I put a 3 1/2 inch FabTech lift on her. I still wanted to be able to fit her in my garage, even w/ the Surco Roof Rack. I have about 1" of clearance still, so I am Happy. She is pushing about 170,000 miles now.
I did some EGR work, upgraded the oil cooler, and added the Banks Big Hoss Bundle under the hood, next step is a gear upgrade, and a Banks Torque Converter.
I have been tossing around the idea of Rhino-Lining or Line-Xing the exterior, in lieu of the constant wash & waxing. But I am still on the fence. I like the idea of everything being flat black, especially since Road Armor bumpers are on my list of future upgrades. But I also like the shine of a gloss black paint job.
I am upgrading my steering stabilizer from a single shock unit, to a dual shock unit. With the Radius Rods and Front & Rear Hellwig sway bars... She is pretty tight, But that extra shock up front will come in handy when I add the weight of the Road Armor bumper and winch to the front end.
Keep in touch !! Come December I will add some "Fun in the Snow" pics... once I return home to the Mountain West....
