Small update! Been busy with work so I haven't had much time to do a whole lot, but I did get some new tires put on today that are definitely way better than the cheapo ones that were on it. Ended up settling on Toyo Open Country's. Hopefully the next update will be when I tackle the lower...

Alright so I've exhausted my attempt to search online for info on the rear clunking/thud noise that's been driving me crazy. So it's been happening since I've gotten it back in July (05 LTD). Since then I've replaced struts, springs, upper control arms and ball joints (front and rear) and sway...

Gotcha. Good advice. I'll probably begin taking care of that stuff come spring. From what I could dig up the previous owner did change the important stuff, but I'm always hesitant to believe that when there isn't a paper trail.

Oh man, buying it new and seeing it waste away has got to suck. How's it been for ya since owning it new? I got mine down in Illinois and brought it back to Wisconsin. Its almost like the previous owner intentionally let it start rusting away. I gotta figure out what to do with the area on...

Alright so like all build threads this'll be a work in progress. I haven't really decided what my end goal is yet beyond replacing what Midwestern winters has rusted out, and what just needs replacing. Bought it this summer with around 135k miles. Pic from today Parts bought and installed so...

Just picked up a 2005 Limited w/130k. Got it cleaned up and absolutely loving it so far. Just ordered a full OME suspension kit and planning more upgrades in the near future.
