Stop by All American tire and buy new lug nuts for $2.00 bucks a piece. They are chrome and heavy duty! I got some for my mustang there. You could probably get them at any good tire store, don't get stuff like that at JYs. Give me a shout, I just need to get my expo leafs from PA and get them on and I'm ready to go.

Well i beat the piss outta the lugnuts till the came off. Actually I bent them till they were stuck still and then used a whatchamacallit. Airhammer gun thing My brain is mush right now. Anyways they are off and I put new rotors, brake pads, fog lights and sanded trhe headlights. Im ready to go now too. I think when I aint so lazy Ill get some explorer springs from pullapart. maybe some f150 coils and buckets and well. You think you can list everything I would have to pull for the swap?

Sure, just the F150 springs, retainer clips, shocks. Exploder leafs and I don't know about the exploder shackles, someone said they got what said on the box was lowering shackles from Oriley's but they raised it about 1.5 to 2 inches for a total of 3 inches. I'll see if i can find that post.

Here's that post;

My wife is from Seymour. Her parents lived there when we met. It's not far from me. About 15 minutes.

I'm in the powell/claxton area close to knoxville
I go over to where Sterchi and Dry Gap meet where the tower is all the time. It's got some good mud holes and a nice path up the mountain/hill beside the tower. Let me know and I'll meet you over there.:icon_thumby:

I'm down Emory Rd down toward Giggs about a mile past CVS on the right.:icon_thumby:
