Found a listing on bolo motorsports website, link is below. Not much else out there but check eBay from time to time, I tend to get lucky on random stuff there if I look often enough. Use the PaceSetter P/N 70-1118 whenever searching, tends to lead to mkre hits...

Outlaw buildin!

Its ok I guess. Its faded and is slowly removed each time I take it through the auto car wash but still serving its purpose to hide imperfections. I plan on re-doing it except this time spraying it with adhesion promoter and then a “higher” quality aerosol spray bed liner like Seymour or Raptor...

Well the thanksgiving break gave me a chance to address some lingering issues related to upper to lower vacuum leaks and some exhaust issues. Back in summer I found a 93 Cobra upper and lower intake, 70mm TB and a pair of GT40P heads for $500 so I jumped on it. Got the heads rebuilt, decked and...

Just saw this after way too long away from this feed. Unfortunately I am way too unfamiliar with the 2WD setup to say for sure. I do remember reading that the 2WD doesn’t support the plug n play Ex 5.0 swap because of suspension issues but details escape me. Hope you were able to get an answer...

Thats a good price!

Thats a great idea, thanks hadn’t thought of that!

19Oct2020 Update: Still haven’t coated frame, my first 99 rust Ranger is acting up so some time there but made the following progress/wins- Scored a FRPP 93 Cobra intake and another set of GT40P heads for $500!!! Cleaned up, resprayed and added a new emblem Spent way too much time grinding...

14SEP2020 Update: Sprayed the tops of the inner wheel wells with black satin vinyl dye and they turned out pretty nice. Finally got the 3” body lift and poly mount bushings in. Of course the the bolts dedicated for under the core support did NOT work. 😂 Got some hardened all-thread that did...

Updates: Por 15 metal prepped the back half of chassis and finally got the core support bushing mounts off... what a pain, took all the tools and three different methods between Jar Head Monk and myself to get those ?*@&s off!

Ha! Comment reminded me of an old salt who used to say “Seal a hole? Yup any port in a storm!” haha its a kinder gentler DoD now. I think 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

But I did finish the second coat of por15 chassis coat black and got the dash cap on. After the silicone on the floor plugs cure, the carpet finally in what feels like forever will go in. A quick spray of por15 top coat on the Radiator support and higher level visible areas is in order as the...

Thank you Sarg! Actually I did buy that plug, it was for a different hole/location... I’m like wtf!? Anyways I gave up and used a a blanking grommet that I reinforced both sides of with custom cut pieces of kydex (sp?), I epoxied them to the grommet faces and then ran a silicone bead around the...

Arrrgh!!! Helpppp!!!! Haha I’m stuck trying to find replacement plugs for a 1st gen floor pan, 1988 Std Cab 4x4. Any info in terms of part numbers or interchangeable vehicles??? The oval hole bore measures 3” x 1.5” (pic attached) and I cannot find the right one! LMC sold me something that fits...

Hey Tom, I installed power Explorer seats in mine the same way I would power an amplifier from the distribution block and a 20A fuse; grounded to the frame via the seat hole. Alas but possibly most importantly I bypassed the huge settings/memory module under the seat and connected the power and...
