Did you need to jack/support the engine to install the updated crossmember?

Yes. I supported the transmission just behind the crossmember.

The biggest pain was removing all the dang body clips on all the panels.

Got new boots for her. Used the stock tires for 45K and was time for a replacement.
After using the AS3+ for wife’s Q3 for 6 months I decided for the new AS4 for mine.

Also, will have the front bumper painted. Excited to have a clean bumper again after the 45K weekly trip between Boston and NYC.

Reinstalled my Blitz oil cooler, without sensors this time to minimize the chance of leaks. So far just a small sweat from 1 fitting which I think I have fixed but will keep an eye on.
