    How would YOU build a highway-worthy, ultra-cheap 4x4 on 35s?

    I have a 2001 Explorer with the V8 and that is correct that all V8's came as AWD. I swapped out the AWD Transfer Case with a manual shift 4406-21 Transfer Case from a F150. Installed a 3" Body Lift, new torsion keys with a twist to match new rear springs. I had some fairly new All Terrain 245...

    Warn Winch Rebate

    When I bought my Warn Winch several years ago the rebate was a Warn jacket. I had to later call in for one to be sent to me.

    Ford 4.0 OHV Slightly melted piston. Would you run it?

    It's been over a year since I updated this. It was a mess but it is done, running great and now on KSL to hopefully clear some space. I was only able to find 1 single new Piston since all of the rebuilt kits in stock needed the Engine Bored out. I didn't want to add that expense so I just ran a...

    Can't get rid of P0171 (Lean on Bank 1) on Ford5.4 in E350

    I forgot to post an update to this. I replaced the Intake Manifold Gasket and found that it was leaking at the Exhaust Manifolds with several Studs broken off. Removed the broken studs with the worst one being broke inside of the Head with nothing sticking out and right behind the shock tower...

    7.3 the hard way (Ford Excursion Project)

    Unfortunately I only spent one day cleaning the dirt and surface rust off of the frame and realized that job sucks especially in the cold. I finally got my 2001 Ford E350 Van to pass Emissions after a new Intake Manifold Gasket and new Exhaust Manifolds and Gaskets. Then moved on onto my 1992...

    Today I Want This....

    Actually it is a Traveler if it is the one by the Bug. The Travelall was full sized 4 Door and the same size as a Suburban. The Traveler was a 2 Door Scout II with 18" added to it and made from 76 - 80. It caught my eye in that pic.

    Gravy's 2005 Liberty Renegade

    Your right. I had the LWB TrailBlazer that looked the same color and I thought the taillights looked the same. I now don't see any problem with it:rofl:

    Let's talk Chicken.. The pets, not the food..

    My Brother got a Baby Chick when he was in Kindergarten and that was the only type of pet that our Dad would let us have growing up. She lived 5 years and we sure loved the thing. Ended up replacing her with a couple more with one ending up being a Rooster. Kept them for several years till we...
