Build Thread
Figured I should start a build thread. Anyways here is some of the progress so far.

Sold the old w164.



First day picking up the w166



First mod lowering links.



Today got the TSW Bathurst installed. 21x10 et42






Next up i think I want to do some caliper paint. Any thoughts on colors? Also will need to do rotors soon so will go with the light weight racing brake.

Thanks

Too many to list
Nice looking SUV. I like those wheels. Are you planning to get camber kits for the drop?
My first mod would be to tint the 2 windows. Feels naked with them not tinted.
I like red calipers.

Unfortunately NH doesn’t allow front window tint.
