listen to the m57 puring along

Just as the German Gods intended 🎶

The x5🙌👌

[@olliegill4914]

Is the air filter an improvement? On mine I have the flaps that open as you accelerate harder thought they would be better for off road/ going through water??

[@QuadeCrabtree]

Yes it is. The factory airbox is very restrictive and has a lot of plastic restrictions going on. So this being shorter and smoother creates a more constant more efficient airflow. As for water, with the dry bad it's perfectly good for normal rain and washing but going under water with it I would not recommend.

3:00 Thats a nice antifreeze

[@QuadeCrabtree]

Thanks, when on the trail godda work with what nature provides hahah

[@orangindonesiatinggaldiame6420]

Is your x5 lifted? How high ? I have F15 N55 engine and looking into lifting it for 2 inches. Any recommendations? Thanks

[@QuadeCrabtree]

Hey! The X5 had a custom 3” lift installed.
Their is one company I know of that makes a kit but I believe it’s only 1.5” or 2”
FlatOut Suspension is the company!

What is the tire size on the X5?

[@QuadeCrabtree]

They are 33"

[@emersonmuyco9245]

@quadecrabtree love your channel and following you with the x5. can you share what wheels are those? Trying to look for the same ones for my x5. Are those m3 wheels, 219m? thanks in advance.

[@QuadeCrabtree]

Thank You Sir! X5 content will be returning soon as summer heat winds down 😁 Yes, they are Bmw E92 BBS 219s with a 2” spacer! Try FB marketplace, can hopefully pick some up for cheap around your area!

[@emersonmuyco9245]

@@QuadeCrabtree Great! Love your RCs too. wow. Found some 219s. Interestingly the hub bore on x5 74.1... M3 wheels I think are in the 72.. difference of 1.5mm. Did you sand down to fit? or had wheel shop sand out. all good info man. Thank you for making these vids!!

[@emersonmuyco9245]

@@QuadeCrabtree Lastly, do you feel I need to lift to fit a smaller version of those tires? Or I can run them without the lift and just use spacers? Man love the look of your x5! trying to do the same!!

[@joependola4834]

What did you use to dye the carpet and headliner in the blue dodge ?

[@QuadeCrabtree]

SEM Vinyl & Fabric dye. Can be found in any color you like!

[@RVCrazy]

Terry shouldn’t have sold that beast of an X5.

[@thatkid3549]

Where was that trail to the water? Been riding at uwharrie for years and never seen that

[@QuadeCrabtree]

I honestly do not remember. I believe at the end of the camp ground down the main gravel road but don’t quote me lol

[@thatkid3549]

@@QuadeCrabtree yea I found it on the map they closed if off with guardrails

[@Mordalo]

You punched the ticket for every stereo type.
