What did you do to your FX / QX70 today?

Changed my oil cooler gasket and front and rear diff fluid with Mobil 1 75-90w. I bought the car with 30,000 miles and never changed diff oil. I have 108k now, and oil looks pretty darn good for 75k+ miles.
 
Some dude pulled up in Benz next to me today. Told me I have a bent rear sway. Just weird someone telling me that. Said he used to have an FX & loved it. Guess he wasnt GT-Spec'd. Then he got a taste of the Nismo as my lane opened up. Nice to see friendlees out there.
Guy drives a pretty nice benz but still droolz over his past ride :tongue (2):

so was he right?
 
Finally fixed my steering wheel shimmy by replacing all 4 rotors and pads. All 4 rotors were pretty warped, but the rear were much worse than the front. Everything is nice and smooth now.
 
I just wrapped up Project Blackout!
My Holiday task was to black out my interior! Black micro-suede headliner and pillars and I painted the rest - not a light part left inside!!
I always hated the "greige" (gray-beige) portions inside our first-gen black interiors so I went and D-I-Yed it all out to black!
What a laborious and completely satisfying mod I gotta tell ya! My lungs and fingernails are full of overspray and glue but it looks so freakin good!!

Sorry to tease but I will post pics soon! Happy New Year all!!

been looking at new rims. LOVE the look of it. wish it was red lip tho. would these fit? are they reliable (strong enough to hold the fx)? http://www.maximwheels.net/viprg1.htm
Good looking wheel. Should be a problem for our cars.What size are you thinking?

Edit: I meant to say that it
should NOT
be a problem

Just got my girlfriend an 04 FX35 AWD about a month ago.
Replaced the oil cooler gasket and installed the GTSpec under tray.
