    How to pick a JY A4LD

    What sort of things do you guys look for when grabbing an A4LD from a junkyard. I just came back from a you pick with an A4LD as they're on sale right now for $60 :headbang: and I'm hoping it'll be ok. The fluid looked nice and cherry and didn't smell burnt. There was a rubber seal drilled into...

    Lookout Lake Loop (56k warning)

    Well today we decided to head out to Mystery Creek FSR and pick up where we left off on our winter excursion that stopped us short of our goal. The weather was perfect & I highly doubted we'd be stopped by snow this time! :D made it through the rock garden that claimed a hub on my way...

    Yet another addition

    Well I was finally able to mount my rear bumper with swingaway tire carrier. I had to make some modifications to it to make it fit as well as reinforced the mounting brackets, but she's super solid and looks pretty good in my opinion. Next is rock sliders and build a custom bumper for the front...

    Exploder 5.0 + ZF Trans swap

    Hey there, I tried a search but came up empty. I'm wanting to swap an exploder 5.0 mated with a ZF tranny into my 91 explorer. I can get a 96 explorer 5.0 but they only come with automatics. Can anyone help me find any links on how to run the computer with a ZF standard tranny? :icon_cheers:

    I'm throwing an 8.8 out of an aerostar in my '91 extended cab, and was planning on mounting the rear shocks vertical outside the frame rails. I'll be welding in some shock towers to the frame just above the rear tires. The reasoning for this is that I don't like how the current set up has the...

    Aerostar 8.8 swap

    Well I mounted my fender flares the other day and came to the realization that the current 8.8 isn't wide enough to make the tires and flares look good... (mounted are 34x10.5 LTB's, I wanted fairly skinny tires for better performance under varrying conditions) I didn't want to use wheel...
