Bad_Bowties better late than never X4 build

[Bad_bowtie]

Wasn't planning on doing a build thread but kinda wanna document what I've done and still need to do. And as always, look for advice from those who have did it before.

After 6 months of waiting after putting a deposit on a LVx4 that was supposed to be here in August '22. I pretty much gave up on it. Just happened to pass by the dealership that I bought my P1k5 from soon after they unloaded a couple Talons off the truck. Amazing enough, 1 of them had not been spoken for. Got my deposit back from the dealer in Knoxville and brought this Orange '22 X4 home the next day.

I like the looks of the trail saws. I can’t wait to here how they perform

Curious as well. Not a whole lot out there about them, and I was wanting to try something different. Hope I don't regret it.

We had a guy at the MOM ride with them and said he liked them but I put more stock in your evaluation. I never saw from him before or since then

Congrats @Bad_bowtie

As far as the Bandit Tenders, do yourself (and your back) a favor and just get their full set of springs, main & tenders. It was the best "bang or the buck" as far as suspension upgrades IMO.

Awesome, thank you! That's what I was looking for, some good advice. I've been talking to @Plumber32 and @Adam490 ,but i think they just wanna spend all my money😁

advice, imo, get the shocks revalved\springs\schrader valves - valved way to harsh from factory and a basketball nipple isn't the best choice for keeping the gas in the reservoir

nice ride, enjoy!!!

We are very good at that 😆

They have a few different versions of the springs, I started with the standard set, then bought the heavy ones for the rear when I added the DRF bed extender. @Remington got my standard rear springs, not sure if he's still running them though.

I guess this is my karma for all the $$$ I've costed @Russ989 😇

Nope, Ran them for a year and did like you said , to see how i liked them then upgrade. Was worth the beer tho I passed them along to another feller!
Im runnin ST springs on all 4. Gonna prob send them the shocks for there valving in the future. So far, its a marked diff in ride.

Still not as Queer as the KRX crew, I hear they’re getting aggressive with the reach arounds!

I just did the tenders, good enough for me. You could do better I'm sure but at what price. Your going to be riding with 3 adults that will take some of the harshness out for sure.

No doubt anything will improve it some. The tenders are nearly collapsed now. I definitely need to get those Sway bar shocks you have ordered as well.
