Well, I knew the day would come when I would suffer some damage of some sort.... Been in Austin for 3 weeks and the truck has taken a beating. The stock 18's have the truck just too low. I have raised the rear up a bit with shackles for now but I really need to get my 23's back on!!!
Truck sure looks sexxxy still (don't mind the cell phone pics)
1st week in Austin, this happens in a parking lot!
2 Weeks into Austin wife takes the truck to starbucks and catches the bumper on a parking curb backing out of a spot
3rd Week here and leaving the Inspection center where it was in a very bad location the tranny pan had enough between that hit and the speed bumps it has been brushing over the past few weeks..
Crime Scene
The relocated drain plug (out of the way now after the last bump it hit)
So since the wife now has a 2002 330CI bmw she is driving, and I have repaired my drain plug on the 4x4 pan for now. I will be installing the stock one back on and getting my 23's back on sooner than later for more clearance.
Engine bay after the trip down from Toronto. 1700 miles $400 in fuel didn't skip a beat.
20 minutes of love today because i felt bad for the truck!
Now just need to repaint my front bumper! If anyone is interested in my 03-04 style wheels they will be up for sale to pay for the rubber needed on my 23's
