Hi guys. Nice site :) I have had you guys bookmarked for a while now (about a month after I got my Ranger about a year and a half ago) and finally decided to join. I am more of a GM guy (I know, bad thing to say on a Ford truck site, please forgive me) and come more from the FWD V6 area of GM's lineup (mostly www.60degreev6.com), but FWIW, there isn't a lot I would trade my truck for. So, with that said, I thank you guys for the wealth of knowledge that you have put on the net for all to see and use.

EDIT: PS, I work on a lot of cars for other people when I am not working (I worked in the RV industry, which is almost belly up atm.) and figured you guys would like this pic I got of one of the vehicles I worked on...

Thanks! And yeah, it was a 98? Tahoe with 22's on it. I had to pull it front end down because the way the guy parked it when the fuel pump decided to take a crap.

Well if you want to improve on your Z24, there is a guy on 60v6 running low 13's N/A with a 3500 swap, and a few guys in the 11-12 range running 3400 with turbos, all of which are more then willing to help with anywhere from common problems to performance questions.

Thanks for the warm welcomes guys!

Front brakes after fresh caliper paint (the car used to sit on 4 18" rims until Elkharts finest roads fixed them... now it only has 2 because I am broke :( )
