Hard to look at with those circus wheels...had to turn away.

 

Those wheels are quite popular oliver sudden. I've been seeing them a lot lately. I've seen worse, but I'm more of a traditional/old school guy.

 

I don't know what the attraction is with huge rims and rubber bands for tires, I really hate the look.

 

Especially on a truck.

 

Right trucks are worse looks wise imo as well, effects ride quality. 18's are largest I'd go there....

 

Add in this idiotic new thing where they jack the front and drop the rear, and you've got a winner!

 

Don't all the Lx's have something back there as well ?

Smaller type maybe ?

 

Well, I am about pissed at this point.
Put an A/C bypass pulley and bracket on a 96 Lincoln Town Car for a neighbor.
He decided to get a new belt also since he is driving to Kentucky next week.
I put it the by-pass pulley on and noticed he had a bad tensioner when I went to put the belt on.
I had him go and pick one up this morning.
The box was taped shut, which should have been my 1st clue.
I install it and put the belt on then start it up, it was nice and quiet so I grabbed the GoPro to get a short video of how it should sound.
And the tensioner starts clacking and making a bunch of noise !
So, I shut it down and threw the old one back on and no clacking noise, just the growl from the bad bearing.
Now I know why it was returned.....

He is returning it to O'Rielly's and going to the place I told him to go.
Maxi- Automotive, it's a warehouse that has a parts counter. no retail store front.

 

Brew, yes, the LX has one too. There are a few versions over the years. The 93 Cobra had its own version as well.

The SVO had a really unique one though.... worth big bucks nowadays.

I still miss that car.
