2003 FX4 4.0l V6 "Blue Steel"
(yes thats a zoolander reference)
Need to tune up the engine, inside and out, I can hear not good noises (probably just an exhaust valve), going to do a couple little power adding tweaks while I'm in there (hell, i may just grab a 5.0 from an exploder)
Completed projects are at the bottom of the list
