You are going to love it! I am enjoying my LX thoroughly.
I have about the same mods planned in the future that your truck came with... A bit jealous :)
PICS?
I would vote yes they are fried... There has to be internal plastic rubber bits in the shock that may or may not have survived.... I would think the steering stabilizer would be questionable as well.
Negotiate a lower price for springs only and buy new shocks, steering stabilizer.
TONS of info here on this site. I have been visiting for over a year now.
The mod question is VERY subjective... My suggestion would be to read through all of the ROTW posts until you find one that is being used how you envision your truck to be used. You will pick up on a lot of things...
I am in no particular hurry as well. With the holidays coming up I do not need the rim any time in the near future if it is too much work.
Sometime in Jan would be fine with me.
Thanks!
I couldn't believe when I looked under my truck and saw that the spare rim was not crome!!!! What...
Investigated some more and it was a missing nut holding the intake tubing that was inside the passenger fender. Looking closely at the inside of the fender just forward from where the intake tube enters the fender revealed that a nut that had been there was missing. Ring of dirt around a hole...
Just tracked my "rattle in D" issue to this same area. A small amount of pressure applied to this intake tube and the rattle disappears. Really annoying since it echoes through the fender and from inside the truck it sounds like there is something loose in the front passenger door.
Wonder...
