[Stic-o]

Thanks Yomie, but the explorer is going to have to wait a while for new axles. Unless of course I find another smokin' deal like Dannyboy did on these axles.

I though he was having trouble with the engine last time he came back from Big Bear... Or maybe I just lost it

Sorry gotta alot going on here right now

 

[section525]

Ooh. So that sentence says he has engine trouble. Got it now. :

Yes, he does have engine issues. I think he's been talking about a 351W swap.

What can I say

 

[FROADER]

I'm still not sure what's up with the ex, I need to get it looked at. I haven't bothered with it since that trip.

 

[FROADER]

$200 More than 50% tread left, all evenly worn.

 

[RangerX]

Nice score. craigslist?

 

[FROADER]

You know it. So far all of my parts I have for this swap are craigslist finds. I'm going to call you now.

 

[Tbars4]

...Nice score...

...I just bought 2-new, 32x11.50x15 at regular price...Ouch...

...(cough) tiki shirt (cough)

If you are going to build the bumpers, you are welcome to the 1.25 hitch oem that I have here. It has a couple ground point holes, but no biggie. Take care.

 

[Dannyboy]

so what is left on the list? leaf springs from an early 90s F350? how about the back?

You got a drag link on your axle, just need a tie rod and track bar.

Ah well, you got time, I don't see this project starting until a certain black truck is finished.

Thanks, but I'm going to build a spare tire carrier using the stock bumper.

Yeah, all I need (to get the front axle under there) is the leaf springs (b-day is coming up )and the trac bar. It will be 2wd until I can afford to get the parts (t-case, modify fuel tank drivshafts, etc.) for that.

So on the way to work this morning, some asshat decided it would be cool to clip my mirror and keep going. They were lucky I was stuck and couldn't follow them... and they better not be seen by me while in my explorer.

But, it looks like I might be able to sell some honey to help pay for the fix.

 

[gijoecam]

LOL!! Did someone actually clip it, or did the mirror just fall out? (Seen it happen before... in my own driveway, no less!!)

[Stic-o]

On the Pass side? I hope there damage was worse

Oh yeah it was clipped. It scared the **** out of me it was so loud.

I was in the right lane at a red light. They came down the side to turn right at the light and nailed it going at least 15mph.

It was a black Navigator, so I imagine their painted mirrors are scratched on the back side of it. But something else might be wrong with it if I see them again.

 

[Stic-o]

They probally had the radio so loud they never heard it

 

[Tbars4]

...That sucks big time.....I usually only get run into at the parking lots...

 

[JMan689]

unless I find a FW 8.8 like Stic-o did, so i could just swap my gears that I already have into it.

uhmmm, i know of i believe 3 Lightning's getting parted out over on NLOC and i know they have 8.8s in the rear, which im assuming are FW. Just FYI
