The rear end is going to be put on mine eventually, possibly after a disc brake conversion. Also thinking about swapping my rancho's rsx's for the bilstiens to see if i like them any better. What else does the level 2 have over the fx4 offroad? as far as i can tell they are the only mechanical differences.

check the skid plates, tank and t-case, lvl 2 front hooks, all black interior, longer breather hoses (according to shane, he would rather have lvl 2 hoses over making new longer ones lol), rear axle (spline and carrier differences), shocks.

Speaking of, I have used bilstein 5125's for sale. Much better upgrade from your rancho's man! lol

The front tow hooks are already gone :( did not notice if all the skid plates were still there, like i said a good few things have been taken out of the truck already which is why i got it so cheap. I was just pumped to find a level 2 with 35000 km and a good engine, rear end and bucket seats with enough good parts to sell and pay off what i put into it. I was originally just trying to get the bucket seats before i saw it, because it was just advertised as a rolled 05 w/bucket seats for $2000. But he said he would give me a good deal on the whole thing and figured the engine would be worth buying the whole thing anyways. and when i saw it was a level 2 with an intact rear i was sold.

few more pics of it.

Also whats up with the breather hoses? what is the benefit of longer ones?

and for the shocks i am not putting any more money into them. Regret buying the ranchos kind of as well, mine were shot and a local shop had these in stock and would have had to order anything else to fit so i tried them. Not too happy with them tho. But I am planning on doing a lift next year so can suck it up with either the ranchos or the bilstiens untill then.
But thanks all the same.

Maybe it's canadian emissions standards, but that exhaust looks way different. Can you snap a pic of the exhaust from underneath at the top collectors? I think if it's not too much I'd like to buy that y-pipe from you... Oh and what the collector looks like with the 3 bolts/nuts looks like that's kind of triangular.

Also, are you sure you don't want to part with that lid for the console?! You're gonna have to do some modding to your seats in order for these to bolt in. Stanard and extended cabs' seats are different frames on the seats. So if you end up swapping tracks, make sure you let someone else who gets your old seats know that they need to go get tracks from a ext cab ranger to make them work with their truck if they too have an ext cab.

Well my bilsteins came with my RCD kit, So they're made to be matched up with a 4-6in lift kit, I believe. They're the good ones though and I've tested them, they still work exactly like my brand new ones sittin in my garage.

No the torsion bars are #1 as well as a "C" rear leaf pack. Stiffer torsion bars, less sagging and the "C" leafs are also stiffer.

If i do sell the console u will be the first to know, As for the seats those buckets are going in one way or another, and my old 60/40 is being given to my buddy who owns the land where i am storing the truck for his 95 reg cab so the tracks wont be a problem. I am going out sunday to take the truck from the shop where it is and tow it to my buddy's place so i will get some better pictures of the exhaust. But i think i am keeping my y-pipe to do a cat delete, so I will have a set with cats and without if i need to do an emissions test. Not sure on that one yet, but if i decide not to i will be selling them and i will give them to you for a good deal because i am sure shipping wont be cheap.

Seatbelts! forgot seatbelt tensioners were blown in the crash, need to get seatblet clasps for the bucket seats before i can put them in. One looks like it may be bent, but its the passenger side, just noticed it in the pic's then, the roof my a have come down into it, but if so i may be able to get away with using my existing passenger seat and put the new cover on it. I will probably take the covers off anyways to clean them and put in seat heaters. I think the passenger seats are basically the same, just the driver seat that's different with the extension and arm rest.

Im 97% sure you have #1 bars but if you want to check and make sure you can check the sticker on the inside of your door.

I would do that too, the black would match mine better considering i have absolutely no blue on my truck. Was thinking about dying the covers black. Or getting black covers.

I am going out to move the truck tomorrow and take a few odds and ends off that people want. wont be getting into any suspension or mechanical stuff tomorrow tho. Just trims and moldings, interior, and take pics of any suspension, exhaust, drivetrain, etc. that will be coming off in the next few weeks. But like i said not everything is being sold, i bought the truck to take parts for myself and am selling what i dont want. As of now things i will be keeping are cluster, seats, console, rear end, transfer case, brakes, engine and transmission. (may be a few small things i missed)

So if there is anything you are interested in let me know, i will take it off or at least get detailed pictures of it and get back to you with a price.
