The Gutless Wonder

[trailbikerider]

Well, here's my daily driver. It's a 1994 XLT 2.3 5 speed 2WD. Only has 84,xxx on the clock. Just picked up the 14" AR Wheels for $75 used and had the Firestone Winterforces in 215/70/14 put on yesterday. Also has 240 lbs of sand in the bed. She's all ready for winter. Got a few pictures yesterday and today. Also, won some Belltech 6400 Chevy Drop Shackles on eBay today, and I picked up some washers so I can do a 2" Lift.

How rusty is your truck?

Hole in the bottom of the driver's side Radius arm. Temporarily undercoated it for now, probably will replace it come spring.

Here's the pics from today

And there you have it! As I've said, my main toy and summer driver is my 2002 Focus. It's currently down due to a blown motor, but will be fixed when Spring rolls around. Only mods done to the truck are clear corners, a sun-pro tachometer, tinted tails and tinted third brakelight, Kenwood head unit, Sony xplod speakers in the doors, and the Rain Shields.

I like that look, real clean. The tires look like they will do the work for sure...

Lookin' Good !!

That reminds me I've got to put my sand in soon.
I use an even 300 lbs.

For sure. They got excellent ratings on Tire Rack. I was planning on getting Destination A/T's, but nobody around had them, and nobody knew when they would get them in. I got these for less money anyway.

It may be a dumb question, but what's with the sand? I'm assuming it has something to do with the snow. I live in the desert so I'm clueless lol

The sand is just to add weight over the axle so you can get a little more traction in the snow.

Nice lookin' truck by the way, trailbikerider!

^What he said! It helps immensly with traction in the winter with a 2WD.

Thanks! The body isn't bad, but she aint too pretty underneath.

Nice truck man! You need to lift it though!

 

[trailbikerider]

It's in the works! I've got Belltech 6400 shackles in the mail on their way to me, and I've already picked up washers for the front. Need to order some replacement bolts for the shackles and up front still too.

Thats Michigan. I hate yalls weather. But those wheels don't look that bad Blake

 

[trailbikerider]

Yeah, yeah... My dad's '94 4WD is the same way, if not worse. They use road salt up here like it's going out of style. Hence why the Focus is now being put up in the winter

 

[disciplerocks]

I thought it was put up cause it has no motor

 

[trailbikerider]

Lol. Yes that too, but after it runs it'll no longer be driven in the winter!

looks good man. i wouldnt name my truck with something denigrating imo

 

[trailbikerider]

Lol. But it is true. All I care is she's reliable as hell. The truck was owned by my dad's friend previously, and he inherited it from his father in law, who was the original owner. It was kinda dubbed The Gutless Wonder before I even got it.
