Welp folks I know it's been a while since I last visited and I know only a handfull of faces may recall me and my few amount of postings. Anywho on to say I didn't forget about this place and since I've last visited I left off of with the purchase of our Landyot Radius Rod kit and was on my way to having it installed. Well I've had it installed sometime ago and can only say great words about it and the new performance in handling and what wonders it's done for our 01-Ford-Ex.
Through my time of having the kit installed I were also in the works of adding some 08 Ford SD wheels (not the 20's spoker like most folks are running though) instead the curved slotted 18's with Continental Contitracs. I had originally purchased cheap'ol 2" wheel spacers off of eBay to get the correct offset, only to realize that the spacers had an impropper fitting and could not fit over the rear hub and also wasn't a snug fit inside of the center of the wheel. I then went the extra mile and popped the extra cash for some of good stuff (Fred's 2" Dually spacers machined in Alcoa Billet) These spacers were the stuff, and all fitting was spot on the way it should have been from the start.
With the above been said the last thing that held things up a bit was waiting on the tires being no where in Hawaii sales the Continental Contitracs so I had our local Ford dealer special order some along with 2 pairs of 08-SD rear hub caps (even though we have a 4WD with locking front hubs, I wanted a nice even look all the way around on all 4-corners).
Welp finally the day came to get all the goodies on and I thought I'd snap a few photos and share. I've had it on for only a couple weeks and have since been enjoying the beautifull ride and feel, though we do every now and then get a bit of tire rub under the wheel wells but I think it could also be due to us needing some new shocks to replace our dead old ones. Anywho onto the pics below.
I thought I'd just up the photos to my photobucket till I get more time to setup an album here on the forum. Much Thanks for reading and taking a peep!

Welp I finally got my album up in my profile so I went ahead and uploaded the photos there. I also uploaded photos of our 01 Ford Exc. Limited when we originally purchased it.
Your X is looking good!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Much Thanks for the comments and hope ya folx had a Happy TG as well. After looking into the Hellwig sway bar for the rear and upgrading our shocks My next big thing is upgrading our face to an 05 face. I did get word from Bill at dfuser regarding a little about it but it'd be nice if I could find a person that'd have all the part numbers of the parts needed to do the swap.
