    Brake question

    That would be adding weight - I want manual brakes because I'm trying to get rid of the power booster and the vacuum canister.

    Brake question

    87 Ranger V8 swapped drag race only. Had to add a vacuum canister to work the power brakes since my camshaft makes very little vacuum. Problem is that just added weight I now want to get rid of. I need to swap out the power brakes for manual and I need to know how it's done properly. Do I use...

    What did YOU do today?

    Got another pic from our track photographer yesterday. He apologized for cutting off the back end but it's still a cool action pic. That's not too far off the starting line since the front bumper of that burger van is right in line with the stage beam.

    What did YOU do today?

    Trying out a new graphics program so I decided to make a calendar. Uploaded it to Vistaprint and a few days later we had a 16"X24" version come in the mail

    What did YOU do today?

    Spent the morning making a load of potato salad and cooking a enormous ham for the annual Christmas eve feast at our Grand-daughter's house and a visit with the great-grandkids.

    Got my Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame 2024 Inductee "bling" today. Don't really feel like I deserve it but I will gladly take the recognition for the small part I play in this sport.

    Spotted our evil twin on the Walla Walla Drag Strip photo guy's page - We even have the same grille modification LOL.

    When did this become a thing?

    Saw one get hung up on a speed bump in the WalMart parking lot. I laughed uncontrollably.......

    Looking for photo

    Anyone have a photo of a 1st gen Ranger with the front bumper taken off? I'm trying to lighten up the front end to help my front/rear weight bias. Just trying to save myself some work - I don't want to take it off and have it look dumb then have to put it back on again.

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    Got another pic from our track photographer today. This one only a couple feet off the starting line and it looks like our Lakewood 90/10 front shocks are doing what they are supposed to. Also had a great honour bestowed on me this past weekend. I was inducted into the Maritime Motorsports...

    Sitting on the dash. Got to take it off to get my extra large self in and out over the roll bar downtube.

    Moving springs

    Saw all the photos of the build but I can't find the parts list he posted. All I really want to know is what year Explorer were the front spring mounts for? Rest of it is just chassis shop parts or easily fabricated.

    Moving springs

    I remember seeing a thread where a guy with a green Ranger moved his rear springs to the frame and documented the job with a parts list and all. Now I can't find it and would like to get another look. Anyone able to post a link to it for me?

    Maritime Drag Racing has us all talking

    I'm not concerned with aerodynamics since the truck is 100% 1/8 mile and we're only doing 100mph and that's even with a big tailwind. Photo below is less than a foot off the starting line and the suspension is topped out front and rear. It tends to settle back down around 100ft out and the nose...

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    Been told many times I should lower the Ranger but to me that's a hard NO - Why should I pay $844.50 CDN for DJM I-beams + $83.59 for the rear axle flip kit + $194.49 for new CalTrac flip plates(Total $1,122.58) and have it do NOTHING for my ET? That kind of $$ would buy a bunch more horsepower....

    What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

    Our track photographer sent me another pic - this was about a foot off the starting line.
