    After A 4 year Hiatus.... I'm about to be back, and have questions

    It's been a long while since I was in the Ranger scene with my old truck: But I'm picking up a low mile 2wd 99 extended cab with the step side bed on the cheap with a knocking 3.0 under the hood for an excellent price, and am going to line up a 99 donor explorer. So I'm extremely...

    Bitter Sweet, Going to start house hunting

    For starters, My Supercharger kit is forsale!!! GO BUY IT! On that note, I have a bit of savings put aside, and was wondering who all has recently started house hunting and what resources you have used? With the purchase of my mustang, I have to slow down my RBV Plans for a year at the least...

    M5OD-R2 302 Questions

    Anyone running this transmission behind their 5.0's? Any issues/problems/tricks to it? From my reading it looks like a 96-98 M5OD-R2 would be PERFECT behind my 5.0 swap that's being moved into my explorer sport (the 4.2 V-6 ones share bellhousings to my 5.0, and are the same transmissions that...

    Where to buy Cheap/New Body Components

    LMC is tremendously expensive, and Certifit seems to only be open in my area when I'm working... Any other good vendors for things like Tailgates/Bumpers? (I'm in Northern IL incase anyone knows anything specific to that area)

    Killed my ranger last night (Modified V-8/Supercharged) Any input?

    I suspect/hope/Pray its a coil after triple checking all my relays/fuses/wiring/etc. Ignition coil failures are not super uncommon on fords I know, and I kinda suspect that may be what I experienced the other day... My truck has a No-Start condition at the moment after Friday night (from my...

    I posted in my other thread and made it my sig pic, but was curious if anyone had any input? My truck has a 98-00 4X4 grill on it with teeth, and my lower bumper is a 98-01 Mounty bumper. I was planning on doing the 01-03 EDGE headlights/turnsignals/grill conversion, but kinda like the end...

    Anyone have any OEM 2wd rear shackles 98+

    I KNOW I'm being a hypocrit by posting this here.... I'm flipping my rear hangers for a bit more drop in the rear *and because they've rusted through*, but I have DJM Drop shackles which would give me a 7 inch drop and not the 5 I'm looking for since I don't want to notch my frame. Anyone have...
