Looks good, but youre def not the only one. Ive been 3" dropped on 31's for over a year, and my buddies got an 03 pathy in the process of bagging.

What springs did you end up going with? Please tell me it aint cut springs

I was gonna bag it until i found out it was gonna cost me min of 5gs and where did you get the 3" drop. I got my springs from 4x4parts and i might cut them later on if they clear my 22's

Ive got old man emus in the front and custom ones in the rear that are a bit soft

My friends pretty handy so hes bagging it and doing the wheel well work himself so he wont spend more than 2500 tops and his pathy will tuck 24's pretty easy he thinks

I wouldnt cut your springs tho , there progressive and would take a big turn for the worse

Got them straight from OME, they dont list for Qx4's. I just called and told them what I want and paid with paypal

Dont have any pics here on my dads computer. Our cars are quite a bit different though. I have over 800lbs of stereo in the rear with my new 18's setup. I have about 3/4" gap on the front. 1/2" on the rear.

22's might fit with low pro's, but youll definetely rub (which isnt a huge deal to me)

I like having sidewall personally.

I can tell you now, it's not gonna look pretty without the roof rack. If you remove the entire roof rack it will leave the six mounting pads on the roof (three on each side) and the black trim that goes to the windshield can't be removed, so it looks kinda funny. The only way to make it look good without the roof rack is to get the LE roof rack (you really just need the channels). You'll see what I mean when you take off your roof rack.

180db????? You do know that the loudest guys in the world are only in the 170 range right?

Theres not much chance your setup hit a 154 or even anything in the low 140's. Did you just pull that number out your bum?

pwnin. yeah i took it off before but wont i still keep on those long strips on the sides going parallel? i thought that would be good, cause i took it off once before and i took those strips out so it looked like s***, but how would it differ if i had the LE one? because id still have the SE holes? no?

and im probably not anyways because i throw s*** on there from time to time.

With the LE roof rack you could leave the channels on the roof and it wouldn't look ugly. If you had the LE roof rack and removed the rack part it would look like JonathanPrem's roof. He still has the channels but he removed the rack part. We don't have that luxury with the SE roof racks because once you remove the "floating" rails (the ones the crossbars slide on) it and just leave the channels, the ends of the channels are exposed and it looks really ugly. Also, the front and rear mounting pads are exposed and it looks really botched.

The SE roof rack doesn't have the pretty channel end caps.

ok i see what you are saying now, i wasnt gonna take it off, well mabye if it looked nice, but i really have no option, unless i trade with someone, but i dont like the look of the LE, only when the racks are off does it look good.

Got a good deal on some new tires but they are snow tires. Am i going to get quicker wear down if i use them for everyday driving other than only using them for snow and icy road conditions~?~?~?~ Sorry not to family w/ snow tires this will be my first winter! I plan on getting the lowering springs from 4x4 parts so i want to make sure 245 70 17 will still fit?

ok, i have 255/65/16 Pirelli ice and snow tires, and they fit fine when i had them on, and yes you will wear them down alot quicker in the summer cause the rubber is so soft. also yours will fit because im lowered and i have 20x9 265/45/20s, and another 3 millimeters or so and when i turn the tire would rub the black inner fender on the front bumper, which you could trim anyways. In the summer i fly on 20s, and in the winter i pass everyone with my snow tires lol, not to mention they have extremely good traction in rain, almost like if it was dry.

you can also take a look on how my 20s fit here.

I like the work done on the headlights, but to my preference, I was thinking about taking that orange thing in each headlight and then tinted it like a joey mod and to the tailight some light tint. Looks awesome by the way.
