What else you got?


My Mustang is externally pretty much stock, there's supposed to be a front spoiler which I removed because it rubbed on the pavement when going through the dip at the end of my road, it had louvers on the rear side windows which prevented me from cleaning the glass and looked too disco era for me, I replaced the cable operated outside mirrors with 89 Escort electric mirrors that stay adjusted, the hood scoop is from a 83-4 Mustang because I needed a wider one to cover the hole in the hood for air filter clearance, the font on the side stripe letters is wrong-the letters are supposed to be more square, there's supposed to be Cobra stickers on the rear of the front fenders(also too disco era),and obviously the 15x6 and 15x8 Weld Draglites aren't original, I didn't think 195/70r13's were enough tire. The engine is a 1986 roller block with ported 96 Explorer GT40 heads, speedpro pistons, Isky cam,Performer intake with a 4160 Holley.The stock exhaust manifolds mated to the heads after 4 hours of die grinder "adjustment" and flow into a 2 1/2" exhaust instead of the 1 3/4" system Ford installed. I turned the front bearing retainer on the T5 down on our brake lathe so it would slide into the Mustang II bellhousing, the 36lb stock flywheel was lightened 8lbs and rebalanced to work with the late engine, The driveshaft is aluminum and the 8 inch rear has 3.55 gears and an Auburn Pro limited slip. 13.8@ 102 mph at New England Dragway and driven 90 miles to and from the track.
 
On the property right now there are:
'98 EB explorer 5.0L (wifes rig)
'97 Mountaineer 5.0L (parts rig)
'00 Explorer Limited 5.0L (DD currently, future offroad project)
'90 Ranger turbo
'97 F350 4x4 crew cab long bed powerstroke tow pig
'85 Honda 350X trike
'89 Honda Fourtrax 300 farm quad
'95 Honda Foreman 350 that needs a rebuild
'03 Honda 400EX
'81 Honda XL250 that needs some electrical work (6V tail lights suck and don't ride it on the road without them)
'94 Geo Tracker that needs the rebuilt head I have on hand installed...

That's everything but lawn mowers and tractors and such :)
 
I just got a 2010 Polaris ranger 400ho for free. Less than 100 hours on it and it came from Arizona so with the exception of the sun faded plastic and cracked seat its immaculate. The previous owner let it sit and then couldn't get it started so he just gave it to me. Drained the old gas, slapped a 15 dollar carb rebuild on it and it runs like a beast.

Other than that I have...

2013 Lincoln mkx (wasn't my idea to buy it but my mom needed a smaller car and the dealer was offering crap for trade in so I bought it off her and got her a focus)

A 2017 ford fiesta which is my daily driver. Yea it's a goofy crap mobile but it only cost 13k and gets 40mpg.

A 1965 mustang I restored from a complete disaster. Originally a 6 cylinder car but now it's a 289 hi po, 4 speed muncie, 9" rear.

And I just got a 2003 f350 quad cab 7.3. Went halfsies with a buddy of mine. Got it with a blown engine. Replaced the engine with one from a wreck with only 20k. Me and my buddy are fixing it into a camper rig. Grand total we have less than 5 grand into it. Right now it's got an unknown ridiculous lift on it and 38" tires but were taking it back to stock or maybe just a mild lift and 33's.

I also have a 2005 Yamaha v star 650 I reluctantly got as a trade for work I did. I don't even have a motorcycle license so it's been ridden about 10 miles in 3 years.
 
1931 Ford Model A Roadster hot rod.

Now that thing is freaking awesome. Love the color.

Where the hell were you today? I was out riding at The Lost Trails in Dunmore PA.
 
I don't go outside when its above 80 degrees.... talk to me in December
 
I actually don't have a RBV in our fleet anymore (sold my Ranger last year), but here's whats left:

1967 Mustang (see avatar)
1995 F-150 XLT
2000 BMW Z3
2014 Honda CR-V (the wife's)

I'm not attempting any major projects with any of them outside of routine maintenance until I can save up enough to build a new garage to work on them all. What I have is enough to keep the Mustang dry, but that's about it (no power, nor room to swing a hammer if you needed to.) Besides the next project will be for the wife.....she likes Jeep Wagoneers and Cherokees but isn't opposed to the idea of a Bronco or Bronco II.

We usually go riding well into November. Sometimes December if it's above freezing. That mountain water gets COLD in December.
 
My ranger is my main project at the moment, but this is my daily: Francesca, a 2014 GT. Engine's stock, but I've added the rear gt500 valence, corsa Xtreme quads, side skirts, baton shifter, rubber floor mats, front strut brace, 19" rims, and Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires. Basically goodies to make my ride more comfortable. Will mess with it more after my wedding next year.

Nice! I haven't kept up on the mustangs since the fox bodies lol. But I love the fake classic gas cap trunk logo. I have a 65, those real gas caps are like gold.
 
My 2000 Ranger 2wd was what lead me here back in like 2001-02. My first vehicle and I wanted to find out how to wire in a tach.

My 88 B2 was purchased from a member. My choptop was purchased from a member (Farva). My 86 B2 parts truck came from a member (truck is gone).

Bought, fixed, drove and sold an 89 B2 Eddie Bauer.

Have an 89 Ranger an a late 90 Explorer as parts rigs and own half of a Ranger with my mechanic.

95 F-150, 94 F-350 dump, 00 Ranger 4x4

Chevy box truck that’s slated to become a trailer (only thing they are good for)

89 Bayliner with a 2.3l
 
If you’re looking for things that have engines, then I ain’t got nothin’. No room for them, let alone money.

I have a few different style bikes, a canoe, kayak, and a bunch of camping equipment.

It's starting to get cooler out...
We're going out to AOAA in Coal Township PA the last weekend of the month. The wife, kid, and I rented a cabin for the weekend. We're doing out on Friday the 27th. Going riding on Saturday and Sunday, and driving home on Monday. Some other friends are supposed to meet up with us either Saturday or Sunday to go riding (they're undetermined as to which day).
You're welcome to come out, bring your Polaris, meet up, go riding for the day (or both days).

Actually, I'm extending the invite out to anyone in the area who wants to go riding... Bring your ATV, SxS, I think they even allow trucks there. (You should double check that before going.) I wouldn't bring anything too wide, but the trails will fit a RBV.

I never said "What else you got, with an engine?" (We never really stay on topic around here anyway!)
If it gets you outside and active, by all means post what you have or any nice places you've camped. I just got my roof top tent this year and hope to do a little traveling sometime... ideas on where to go or not to would be nice.
 
The other reason I brought this thread back up is because I finished wiring up the lights on my SxS and just felt like posting the pics...


Custom switch panel:
31395


Custom power/ground distribution center. That's a waterproof fuse/relay box up to the left. Everything runs through that:

31396


Underdash interior lights:

31397


Rear facing LED pods (2 pics. First, no lights just the camera flash and a very light mist. Second, lights on.) :

31398


31399


I don't have any pics of the front LED pods yet (I didn't want to start the thing up at 1am to turn it around and bother the neighbors, but they're the same lights as the rears just spot lights instead of flood lights.)
If anyone's interested...
The LEDs are Aurora 2"x 2" pods 40 watts a piece. Aurora lights use all the same internals as Rigid except the reflector. (Rigid makes their own optics and assembles the lights in the US.) They were the Chinese supplier for Rigid when I was importing them, it's been a few years so I don't know if any of this is still true today.
