Why do people hate X-runners??

The Total Chaos LT 5 lug lift. Were it still in production.

 

Love the X

 

A friend of mine has had one since '05, he always thinks it's like a factory hot rod but with the gearing I doubt he could jump a 4x of the line. I tell him but he thinks VVt is for X runners only.

edit: If I can get my hands on a Ridgeline to race him I promise to film it.

 

Great looking truck! Where did you get your lug nuts from? id like some red ones like that for my truck..

 

Careful with red anodized. Anodized generally have a slight pink hue. Got to be a deep red not to.

 

I know what you mean. I have some red valve stem caps that are starting to fade and almost look pink

 

Still miss my XRunner, it’s been about 8 years.

 

I'd drive that

 

As somebody who grew up as a kid with his dad having a GMC Syclone, I always have a soft spot for sporty trucks. I love seen a well done X-Runner driving around. The red one above is super clean to me.

 

Anyone trade the skewped hood for a flat one?

Also I see the Hawaiians are cruising this thread! Love it! Throw up pics if you got them

 

Psssshhh psssshhh

Can you buy the factory X brace and install it on a 4x4?

I'm tired of my truck flexing and squeeking over every bump in the road.

 

Yes. Might not be exactly bolt-on though.

 

Wonder if there would be a market for a third gen X-Runner

 

I’d rock an x-runner as a second truck, I loved my Dakota R/T.



Though the v8 helped with that love

 

How much power were you making?

 

Yes that's the reason a lowered truck is worthwhile.

edit: In case people wonder 'Why a hot rod truck and not car'?
Full frame baby.....anyone who ever stuck a big block in a uni body knew w/o at least frame connectors you were tearing that thing up everytime you stomped it.
Why didn't Camaro's ever come with a 454? That's why. They peeled the roofs apart.

 

Never had it dyno'd so I don't know for sure. It was full bolt ons w/ a mild cam, most in the know estimated around 350 hp & 400 lb/ft

The 5.9L isn't the greatest power maker unfortunately, the heads are really restrictive and it costs a ton of money to make high hp #'s. It's a motor that was designed for lots of torque and predominantly for HD trucks that are towing. The mods I did changed the power band quite a bit and moved everything up the RPM curve, it actually felt like it had more grunt at the low end when it was stock (345 lb/ft stock, still plenty lol)

sorry for the .....
