    What Stock rims do you guys like the best?

    I love my stock sawblades, they're in good shape and shine great. My buddies have a '93 Ex and '93 Bronco with the same rims that have holes around them, I think those look cool too. By the way, where can I get that chrome trim around my wheel wells like you have? Mine are starting to rust...

    motor swap??

    Go with the 5.0, it'll lay waste to any 4.0 you can put heads, headers, intakes, basically anything and everything you can think of can be done to a 5.0. That and it'll just be cooler lol :bounce: . And those Cam Position Sensors are lil devils...I found out the hard way. :fire:

    Hub Installation

    So I wont need the 2 3/8 socket(the one they have in my Chilton Manual? regular 6 sided that I had to use when I did my brakes) to take off my wheel bearings?! I had to buy a bearing conversion kit, I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out, I was just wondering if I needed anything else ahead of...

    Hub Installation

    I'm going to put some Warn locking hubs on this weekend and was wondering what tools and advice anyone may have. I have taken the front end apart to do brakes, but my best friend/mechanic was there to help me out. Also, what size is the nut on there? I might be able to get the socket from my...

    Ventshade Vent Visors?!

    I have a lund bug gaurd also, but my aunt bought them online for me as a christmas present so I just figured piss on it and put them on. Perhaps the ones that attach from the outside would of worked better.....I'm thinkin so.

    Ventshade Vent Visors?!

    Yeha, I just got back from checking them. I'm not satisfied at all with the fit and will definitely need to grind some angles on them for the windows to slide up easier. The rear wont close up to my expectations, and the front has to have the flange pushed out so it can shut.:mad:

    Ventshade Vent Visors?!

    I finally got the time to put them on(christmas present). Anyways, I dry fit them like it says in the directions. Well, lowe and behold, they dont fit!:mad: Not only did the read window motor not have enough force to push the window all the way up, it completely stopped when it hit the...

    Hubs

    I'm looking into new hubs for my Ex. I got prices for Warn of about $225 for hubs and conversion kit. For MileMarker they're $165ish. I was just wondering if its really worth it to go with the Warns considering I only use 4x4 when in marginal snow, some mud, etc... Basically I dont do much...

    Starting problem

    Sorry forgot to mention that i do let the fuel pump prime for that long and then try to crank it. When it starts its very weak, and if i give it gas it starts to die, rpms go down to like 500, and then once its warm its fine, kinda like the engine is starving for fuel.

    Starting problem

    Everytime i go to start the Ex, it wont start up on the first crank. Usually, i have to crank it over for like 4-5sec, then turn it back to off position, and then crank it over again and it will start up like in 2sec. And this always happens when its cold or sits for a while. I have replaced...

    Dont start on first crank

    So there I was in the garage today, crankin my truck. Didn't start right away, had to turn the key back to the off position and then turn over again. This problem had occured before, but went away and now has come back. I cant figure out why this happens, becuase i can clearly hear the fuel...

    Cranking time

    Recently the time that I have to turn the engine over has been gettin a lil bit longer, and occassionly wont start unless I pump the gas. I hope this is not the fuel pump cuz i got a new one a week after I bought it, which was like 2 years ago. I'm hoping its just the fuel filter, which I plan...

    should my insurence be 1026 every 6 months?

    I got one speeding ticket 2 years ago: 20 over, liscense suspension(which is so bogus). My insurance now is a whopping $178.86 a month for full coverage: just got the bill today. Yup that much for one ticket. I guess they figure that the 16-24 range of males are more high risk cuz were more...

    I got a ticket!

    Stupid People and Cops I hate that. Thats BS, gettin a ticket for speeding. I mean ya, sure some people out there cant handle speed. But others, such as myself feel very comfortable travelin at such "warp" speeds, and find it BS, that we get fined. Also, there are some real MORONS on the...

    Cam Position Sensor
