I posted this over on newX, but it was funny and thought I would drop it over here too.

Great video!

That's darn fast. Hope you didn't forget to tighten any bolts.

You know what it is funny. The lower bolt on the passenger side shock was missing the nut. luckily the sway bar kept the bolt from popping out.

So what was the actual elapsed time of the installation? : )

[scottmen]

Just over 2 hours. Which is why I didn't catch the dropping of the truck. Set the time lapse to only 2 hours.

The slow points were the stripped stud that had to be replaced. (thank you South Bay Nissan for doing that) Had to go to two different auto parts stores.
The missing nut on the lower shock mount.
The beer drinking.

This is why I hate living in an apartment with no garage. I can't work on my X

Ditto, Boomer... you and I are in the same boat...  not that I am by any means a mechanic, but it'd still be good to have the option if I wanted to do anything.

I'm right there with you my man!   And as soon as my truck has 3-5 more inches under it I'll be losing my parking spot and will be risking break-in  :\

[Impact619]

Good point... I need to see how much clearance I have in my parking garage, although it'll be awhile before I do any lifting.

[scottmen]

This actually was done at an apartment.
Just had a garage though. We were relatively quick so didn't bug the neighbors.

Hell I'm in glendale, so parking on the street is damn near impossible, and if you do the streets are so tight your likely to get damaged then broken in to.
