    Doin pretty good, been real busy with work, just got a convertible 300zx recently and have been putting a lot of time into that as well. Unfortunately I completely submerged my explorer in the lake but I pulled the tank and just need to do a few more things to make it run again.

    Use same key in two Explorers?

    I am a locksmith and the guy I work for showed me a neat little trick that I did on my explorer, if you look at the head of your key you can see the part of the chip little rectangular outline. If you use a bench grinder you can slowly take the plastic down and take the chip out. Then you can...

    misfire only from idle to 2500 rpm

    oh ok I figured since it was only on one side it had to be like an injector or something only effecting the passenger side, I will go ahead and give that a try, Thanks. Chase

    misfire only from idle to 2500 rpm

    I have had this misfire that isnt real noticeable except at idle, it is on the passenger side for sure, I have dual straight pipes and I can feel it on the passenger side exhaust only. If I rev the engine it misfires up until 2500 to 3000 rpm then goes away after that. I have recently changed...

    I am curious on the last pic what your front bumper is made out of size wise, I have some 6x6 square tubing that I was thinking of using to make something similar, and was wondering if that would work

    Decisions decisions....1999 sport 4x4 200k

    New shocks and 4 door leafs make an incredible difference on a sport, if you feel the need you can even throw an add a leaf in there once you get the new leafs on. Stiffened up my truck quite nicely.

    3.73 with 33's, 5 speed, 4.10 worth it?

    Ok so I dont have money to regear to 4.88 like I would really like to do, My only option which is fairly cheap, is to buy junkyard axles with 4.10 from an ex, theyre around 125 each, I am seriously thinking of doing this because I want to weld the spider gears anyways so it would be easy to just...

    If you had 2g's for your truck....

    4wd Swap biggest improvement, for around 500 bucks, then get yourself a locker, Thats what I did, everyone makes it sound hard when it really isnt, most difficult thing is pulling the trans and thats not hard to do. Just a suggestion haha.

    How much weight have you safely towed?

    I have a 99 sohc 5speed manual with 3.73's and 33's, I towed a 2001 chevy 2500 HD with an 8.1 liter in it which probably weighs 6000 lb at least. Only problem I had was I burned my clutch pretty good trying to get moving fairly quickly, but I would blame that on being undergeared with 33's, I...

    Could someone please school me on Solid Axle Steering (Leafs

    Ok, you did not lose me, that makes much mores sense, I always thought solid axle steering was really complicated because there were so many links but its actually pretty damn simple. I am going to do some more research for sure and hopefully start scavenging parts here in the next 6 months or...

    Could someone please school me on Solid Axle Steering (Leafs

    Thank you very much for explaining this for me, The only real reason that I wanted to go with a 30 was because it has the same bolt pattern, and width. Eventually I want to go to 1 tons, but for now I just want to get rid of the IFS and have leafs up front. So for steering basically you just...

    Could someone please school me on Solid Axle Steering (Leafs

    Ok so I am set on getting myself a leaf sprung D30 under my front end sometime as soon as I can afford. I want to do leafsprings for sure, not a huge coil fan, what I was thinking, let me know if I am wrong because what really confuses me on solid axles is the steering. I am thinking if I get a...
