And not sure if I have posted it here but a couple years ago I snagged a Smittybilt 9500lb winch. My plan is to recreate the look of the factory Ford accessory winch mount/grille guard. but to use a receiver mount because: a. My truck has a bodylift and the brackets to relocate the front...

Well I guess I ought to give an update on the ol' girl since I just noticed I haven't done anything in over a year... Last winter I rebuilt the cylinder heads (E6 heads if any Ford fans are out there) original to the engine (touched up the valves/seats, new seals and Trick-Flow upgraded...

I probably new 12 years ago when I put them in. Mine are used so I don't know if they would exactly meet the rating anyway. They ride a little stiff unladen with my standard cab, with my fiberglass topper and tire carrier it rides perfect with just enough rake, with my slide in camper it also...

91-01, I have the springs (and axle) out of a '96 in mine. 4wd is torsion bar. For a cheap work truck I would just crank the t-bars. 2wd is usually coil spring. Certain packages like "Edge" and "Trailhead" are torsion bar and are actually kinda easy to convert to 4wd at least front axle-wise.

Springs out of an explorer are stout and bolt in. Usually gain a little ride height as well.

Pretty sharp little truck, looks like it used to be somebody's baby.

I was lobbying for steelies but she wanted the alloys... they get rash pretty easy and since they are nice and black they proudly show the rock rash. Do you have a link to the flaps? I modified the Ford ones to fit but they do not like cornstalks.

And Part II

FWIW we have really liked ours. I only mentioned the Bronco because the speculation and guessing of the Grenadier reminds me of the similar situation when we were waiting for the Bronco to get released.

Pretty much the same drama as the Gren minus product support. 2.3 had problems in the Fiesta ST are they fixed/good enough for a heavier truck, why are they using the new for 2020 Explorer 10R60 trans (and not Ranger/F-150's 10R80) and is it going to work on a heavier offroad truck with more...

I know but before they came out it was the same hash and rehash about things people didn't know anything about because the vehicles barely existed yet.

They did the same thing when the Bronco came out. People didn't have anything to do but split hairs and complain. I still rarely visit bronco forums after all the toxic negatively over the unknown.

Dunno about them but it is borderline mandatory nowadays.

Which included truck use pretty much from the start, they were in cargo vans before the Wrangler and they same year they went into the Wrangler (year two of production) they also went into the Ram 1500. "fits of rage" was probably because of the previous change to the 3.8 which was a pretty...

Everybody wants the old school flat and nearly vertical windshield but seem to never acknowledge how much easier it is for them to crack. 4xOverland had a interesting interview and then an equally interesting follow up video.

It took me a bit to get video stitched together... but here it is:

And then in 5 years they can drop support for that too...

I have heard people complain about the relatively small fuel tank and it being likely there is no way to install a larger one. Guys like in Australia that need the range (and are cross shopping with a 70 series) In NA, yeah 300 miles on the highway is about the industry average though. Even...

Possibly the same sort of folks that buy LS swap kits for their Rovers... On a more serious note, BMW does have kind of a fan following, I suspect at least some intel will be available in 5 years. The engine isn't exactly brand new. And not to be judgmental... based on the pricing I doubt the...

Turbo, turbo accessories, headgaskets, heads... it makes just about everything easier. They use oil pressure for the fuel injects so they get into that also. The trucks are halfway setup for it and the guys have been doing it for 20 years so it isn't a big deal. Arguably no matter what you...
