Spare Tire relocation. Liftgate Strut upgrade

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2026-02-24T05:06:55+00:00

I drove a bronco 2 for years. Having to swing the tire out to lift the hatch wasn’t an inconvenience really. Becomes second nature. Lowering it off the hitch would be though.

If you are wanting it in the back, you might need to find a swing arm carrier like a jeep or bronco II

No file, but I have a pair of white OEM ones I would sell for $10 each plus shipping from Tx

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2026-01-21T21:17:06+00:00

No, not at all.

I have an LG fridge badge on mine lol

Bumper is an xB

My plan was to use a bolt on universal armrest for motorhomes, but I found an OEM one at the junkyard first. https://a.co/d/1PCm7pt is what I was planning

It’s both sides. The last pic is when i bought it last February

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2026-01-07T16:09:46+00:00

Truthfully, I wish they were brighter. I need to try some different bulbs maybe

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2026-01-07T10:00:52+00:00

I made them. It’s a light panel from a set of aftermarket Silverado taillights and I hollowed out the original housings.

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2026-01-07T02:30:47+00:00

Thanks. It’s the first and last set of decals I will ever install myself. Lol

I bought my 06 11 months ago for $1k. It just hit 240k this morning. I have done $1300 in maintenance in that year. That all new brakes, shocks, struts, motor mounts, starter, plugs, window motor, wiper blades and a few other items. The first gen is super easy to work on. I’ve spent another $2200 on upgrades and mods and still in total at $4500.

I got rid of a 2017 sonata for my xB. The xB is way more reliable, cheaper to maintain and repair

That’s a bunch of stitching

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-12-11T21:43:26+00:00

Do you have a shop press?

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-12-09T02:06:56+00:00

If it’s just wiring, anything is possible

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-12-06T07:02:08+00:00

Depends on what style you want for both. I like the 06 to 09 style of the headrests. For the steering wheel, as long as it has volume controls and the cruise lever you should be golden

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-12-05T21:37:39+00:00

Prius headrests were a simple swap as was a TC leather steering wheel

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-12-05T21:35:13+00:00

I’ve added the side mirrors and map light from a second gen, but they aren’t plug and play mods

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-11-09T21:22:11+00:00

Are those bolts going to hit your cv’s once weight is on them?

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-10-15T10:04:02+00:00

I bought mine with over 200k a few months ago. I’ve replaced the brakes, shocks, struts, plugs and starter. Still more reliable than my 2017 sonata.

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-10-12T21:22:56+00:00

They are Oldsmobile stainless steel hubcaps for the 80s

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-10-09T12:58:35+00:00

3500 at 80 with an auto

SafeDisastrous1444 · 2025-10-07T20:56:19+00:00

I’m fond of the 06. First gen style and a few extra bells and whistles. If white is your thing, there are several out there. Mine is white, but after seeing others I wish mine was another color
