And so it begins.


Needs a battery...no biggie, have a nice fresh 3 week old one in the 2002.


In the process of popping the hood, managed to jam up the hood release (already had a broken handle, I ordered a handle and a new cable on general principle so they're on the way already). Naturally, I have the hood OPEN, but the cable won't release, so it is now STUCK open until the parts get here...guess I'll be bungee-cording it down.


Seems to be in pretty good condition. I pulled the historical codes, and it looks like a dealer worked on it right up to 2015, and I have all the records since then.


Now, where can I get a 17" steelie for the spare? I don't like that compact spare on an AWD!

 

Give Drdome a call or text at 484-903-4813. He parts out x-types and can fix you up. Let him know Vern recommended him.

 

Thanks! Gotten some parts from him before, he's only about an hour away!

 

I love the stock spare tire rim from my 2002. I want to do a set white with high gloss for the white x one day, they have almost a retro 40's look to them.
Dr is a good call for the rim.
