I've posted some random pics here and there, but I figured it was time to put them all togather along with a list of things I've replaced on my truck.
I bought this truck in late November 2007 to replace my escort that didn't run too well in the cold. No, I didn't buy the truck because of the paint job, I bought it because it was a great deal. Four days later on the way back from Pittsburgh for thanksgiving, the weather changed from light rain to heavy snow very suddenly, and I crashed before I even had a chance to slow down. basically I slid sideways off the road, hit a sign with the right front corner, then tipped onto the driver side and slid for 20 feet. I had it towed to the wrecking yard, and came back for it 2 days later. I put the spare on, taped up the window, push started it, and drive it home. That truck either tried to kill me, or saved my life. Not sure which. Basically I've been fixing it little by little ever since.
Body parts replaced:
driver front door
windsheild
driver rear door
-fenders (wrong generation, made them fit, but they need to be replaced)
-header panel
-one headlight/turn signal
-one taillight
both mirrors
bed/tailgate
01 edge front fenders, hood, header panel, grill, headlights
06+ taillights
Maintenance items:
Brakes (everything, front and rear)
front upper and lower ball joints
inner and outer tie rods
passenger side cv shaft
front axle seals
AVM locking hubs
passenger side middle leaf
lift shackles
all u-joints
exhaust (custom 2.5 side exit cat-back)
intake manifold gasket (and all of the gaskets removed on the way to getting to it)
Alternator
flywheel
clutch
slave cylinder
all of the fluids except for brake fluid (thats next)
driver side outer cv boot
injectors
maf
iat
cts
coil pack
plugs
wires
iac
explorer leafs
blower motor resistor
fuel pump
shackle hangers
fuel filler neck
pics soon (lazy)
