    Took my top off

    ...well, tok the mounty's top off. Got tired of not being able to see out the tinted glass while wheeling at night, dusk, etc. So got bored the other day and I had a cut off wheel handy (I really shouldn't keep things like that handy) and decided to take the back third off. I've been thinking of...

    which lift gates are interchangable?

    I have a 98 mountaineer. I found a cheap 96 lift gate, waiting on pics through email. If it is the older style that is just flat across, does it fit at all? looks like the tail lights wont line up along with the top of it. So, pretty much all of it. But I'm not 100% sure if 96 is the old style...

    Guess what I had to pull out last night?

    A Heep of course. So, it's not a whoops for me, but my friend. He was being an idiot on top of the mountain I live at the bottom of and got stuck on a stump 'trying to go around it' (I didn't see any sliding marks like he said he did) Well needless to say my truck trying to pull him out messed...

    Moving into the ranger world...

    So I've had my Mountaineer for like 3 years, but lately I've been wanting something for wheeling. Preferably something already done up so I don't have to put so much money into it.

    I was wondering if anyone knew where the cheapest place is to grab a tail pipe? One off of a v8 preferably cause it's a bit bigger. I don't have the money for a custom one and have found them for around $130 I think it is. Wasn't sure if anyone knew a site to grab one cheaper. I only need it for...

    So, if it wasn't bad enough my front passenger window won't go up and down, now my rear passenger door won't even open. It tries to unlock, but doesn't fully.
