I let my parents use the 2wd if they need it for something, I only have one friend that I trust enough to let borrow it, anyone else, I'll just do the driving and help them out with whatever, now that I have the 4x4 on the road again I don't think anyone gets to drive it but me

open cats, and they don't do much to quiet it down

Yeah I guess I've been having a little too much fun with it, apparently yesterday someone called the police to complain about a loud truck driving up and down the road, today I drove it up into the back into the back field and got it stuck in some mud, walked back to the garage and got the front...

It was a reman. they gave me a free replacement, the bad one blew a fuse in the power distribution box, replaced that and put the new alternator in and it works great now, drove it around a bunch today and man is it fast! With proper tuning it's prob got another 40hp in it at least

I figured out why the charging system didn't work, turns out the new alternator I put in it was defective!

an S-10 with an LS sounds like a lot of fun! once I get all the bugs worked out and get the exhaust and everything else buttoned up I can't wait to take it to the drag strip and see what it can do, I doubt people will expect much from a ranger with offroad lights on it, they'll be in for a...

I didn't realize it was that long either, I just posted a couple pics and a video in case anyone is still watching it

Wow, I haven't been on VFO is a long time, I suppose I should log on and update that thread

I read somewhere that when ford started putting the 4.6 in mustangs there were a lot of left over 5.0s so they put them in explorers for a couple years, I don't know if that's true but I do know that the explorer engine I used is very similar to the mustang engine, I rebuilt the engine with all...

Gave it a much needed bath today, it needs a good buffing to really bring the paint back but I'll worry about that another time, if the weather is nice tomorrow I have to mess around under the truck a little bit and figure out why my charging system doesn't work, right now im thinking I got a...

I think the tires will be ok, the steering felt wobbly the first time out on the road, but by the second time the air bubbles were worked out of the power steering and the rust was starting to wear off the brakes so it felt much better, next big thing I really need to do is put the other rear...

actually I took it out around the farm before I took it down the road and while driving through the fields it felt kind of sluggish, then I looked in the rear view mirror and realized I was throwing some rather large rooster tails

hahaha, sorry bud, hope you enjoyed the vacation though the road test was ok, it has a lot of power, three years of sitting hasn't treated the brakes well though and they will need some work very soon, also needs new shocks, more preload in the torsion bars and some stiffer leaf packs, it...

where you been greg?! I put up videos for you last week!

Finally took it for a short drive tonight

the rain finally quit this afternoon, maybe tomorrow I can get back to work on this thing

Rockers adjusted, it started raining so I called it a day, tomorrow I'll check the head bolts and put the 19 lb injectors in it, put it back together again and maybe even take it for a short drive

Got a new power steering line in it and high pressure oil line so all the leaks are fixed now, today I'm gonna adjust the rockers and stick a set of 19lb injectors in it, the 30s are just too much without the tuner

I should have just bought 20 feet of braided line and some AN fittings and mounted it in my center console

Well today I was gonna move it around the driveway so I could wash it, but it blew a power steering hose and then one of the oil lines that goes to the remote mount oil filter
