    FROADER’s ‘63 Falcon

    Since I sold the van, I told the wife I wanted to get another classic. My plan was to get another 63 Galaxie, but she said she wanted something she could drive, too. I asked her about the Falcon since it’s similar but smaller and would be easier to drive around town, and she loved the idea. I...

    FROADER's 2006 Lexus GX470

    I've had this for a couple of months now, and I'm loving it! I decided I wanted a nicer/more reliable vehicle as a daily and occasional wheeler/camper. If you don't know what a GX is, technically it's a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120 series (sold globally except the states), but it's basically a...

    FROADER's 1991 - Edward Bauer III

    I'm back... I just can't resist white lifted 90s Fords, so here is my fourth white 1st Gen. I really won't be doing too much to this thing, besides a few personal touches here and there. I bought it to use it. It was running a little rough, so I gave it a tune up. What I've done so far...

    FROADER's 1991 Eddie

    I'm back in the game. I can't seem to get away from white first gen 4x4 explorers... My first was a 92 XLT. The second was a 92 Eddie built by board member @Felix I did have a black 2010 XLT with a small front BTF spacer lift and 32s: This one is a 91 Eddie. It's pretty clean...

    Truckhaven: Thanksgiving weekend.

    Anyone up for it? I haven't been since I sold my explorer in 2010 and I'm really itching to get out there. I can get out there Friday night and stay until Sunday. I kind of want to see what the 5th Gen can do out there. :) Whose in?

    FROADER's 2010 XLT

    The wife and I picked this up last night. We traded in the F-150 for a more practical family car and something that Michelle would be comfortable driving (I drive her 4cyl Camry to work [40mi. one way] every day). The truck was just too big for her. The crazy thing is having a monthly payment of...

    Mothers Headlight Restoration

    I did a search and didn't see anything on this product, so here is what I have. My wife's '05 Camry's headlights were pretty fogged over. Her dad had the Mothers product already and told me to give it a try. I have always been skeptical of things like this, but I finally got around to it...

    FROADER's '98 4x4

    Well I'm back with the next project. I traded my DRZ400 Supermoto for it yesterday. This is going to be a very slow build, as I have no money to work on it, at all. It will be registered as "non-op" until I save up some money. Specs: 1998 Ranger Supercab 4x4 4.0L Auto Flatbed (coming off...

    FROADER's 2007 Motard

    I guess this can go here. :) This is replacing the 2003 Yahama Roadstar, mostly because I missed the 1993 XR650L. Having been riding dirt bikes most of my life, I've been itching to get one of these, and the time finally came. It's a 2007 Suzuki DR-Z400 SM that I traded my Roadstar for...

    FROADER's 2005 F-150 FX4

    So... I traded in the van and got this truck. I'm also selling the explorer along with the motorcycle. I'm not leaving this site and will be back with a vengeance when I decide to get another "froader" to beat up on. Anyway, here is the scoop. 2005 F-150 FX4 Supercrew 5.4/Auto K&N drop in...

    Coyote Canyon Day run, Feb 15...

    Since "FROADER" is out of commission (front driver's side axle shafts and ujoint) for the time being, my girlfriend wanted to get out for the day and test out her "newly" lifted Jeep. I told her the perfect day trip/trail for us would be Coyote Canyon in Anza. I have been there many times over...

    How to: Exterior rear view mirror replacement.

    Because of this I figured I'd document the fix. I supposed this is mostly for IZwack, since he's the only other one that I know has a newer Econoline. Or, anyone that may help out churches or summer camps with their vehicles. :D Tools needed because Ford is lame: • Phillips screw driver...

    FROADER's '03 Honda XR50

    So I was searching craigslist for a pit bike to have for camping trips and just cruising to friends' houses around the neighborhood. I found this one (which is worth around $800 with the things he's done to it. It's missing a $30 part (you can see on left side of the bike in the pics) which...

    Question for Bkennedy

    First the story. Some azzhole CHP was driving 85mph+ (traffic was going ~78mph and this guy flew passed me) by himself, going in and out of the carpool lane, crossing the double yellow without his lights on. I know there is no "code" to drive like that without lights on, so I called the...

    FROADER's front bumper/winch mount (lots-o-pics)

    My buddy Winter has some skills when it comes to fab, so I had him help me out with my idea for a bumper/winch mount. The weather wasn't the best at the beginning of the day, so we used an EZ-up to keep any mist or drizzle off of us while fabing. As the weather got better the EZ-up became the...

    FROADER's 2001 Yamaha Road Star 1600

    So I've had my dual sport XR650L for about a year now and while it's fun to ride, I wanted a cruiser. My unlce bought a 2007 Harley Ultra Glide and still had his old bike, a Yamaha Road Star 1600. I "talked" him into trading (straight across :D) mine for the Yamaha. By talked I mean robbed...
