Well some of you may know that i've been trying to accomplish a SAS on my explorer for a while now. Mostly, i've just been parts collecting.... I knocked out getting a new DD and a tow rig in the same purchase. I'm the proud new owner of a 2005 4x4 F-150 with the 300hp 3 valve 5.4L V8. XLT...

Well i got tired of my old bumper. wanted something that looked a bit cleaner and tighter to the body. the old bumper: To start, i wanted to get rid of the goofy oem frame ears and make some bumper mounts that were simpler to mount a bumper on. Then i used 2x4 tube (5/16" thick) for a base...

Its more of a raised intake.... i've had the tube and the snorkel for a longgggg time. finally got cylinders and then i FINALLLYYYYY got them filled. the tube is 16ga. 304 SS. fudged the fender a bit to fit the tube... tube set in place with zip ties... air box all sealed up with...

I will keep this first post updated with my progress so people don't have to weed through all the boring crap associated with these buildup threads. So far I have: Front axle: Dana 60 35 spline kingpin high pinion from a 79 f-250/350 detroit locker dedenbear knuckles 5.38 gears alloy usa shafts...

i got a deal on some axles from a 1976 f250. axles look to be in pretty good shape for being almost twice my age. 300 bones for the front (i think low pinion d44) and rear (i think low pinion d60) rims, tires, and steering box. the axle has some weird hydraulic assist looking thing on it...

so, my rear locker threw fits because my installer shaved the pin to get it past the 4.56 gears. i slid a whole pin in, and its been better, not perfect, but a great improvement. And the front locker has never done anything out of the ordinary, it has always been a good little locker. until...

OK, so you guys are probly going to tell me how stupid i am... but thats ok. Heres the story: So i just got my truck back and i was out with my friends at the local ricer spot. I ran my mouth about the only other truck there. Not dissing it, but saying i would pull it across the parking lot...

so let me start at the begining. (or skip the first 2 paragraphs for the important stuff) i decided to install an oil pressure gauge. that required replacing the pressure sending unit. the cyberdyne unit was too bulky to fit where the stock one was so i ran an elbow and also had to fit an...

there not done yet. i have to cap the ends and add 2 more supports inbetween those rails. then i need to attach the legs and i'm going to bolt them onto the frame instead of weld them on. (because someday i plan to sas and remove the body lift, and if the sliders bolt on, i can unbolt them and...

yes i know... you are NOT supposed to shave the pin on the no-slip. but my installer did. it was fine at first, but now (6,000 miles later) it is really acting up. my passenger side rear tire just spins in the rain. i cant do a normal take off or i'll just spin forever, and in the snow it is...

i have a 98 X with the contral trac transfer case :roll: . i plan on swapping in a 1354 as soon as i can find one for a half way decent deal, but in the mean time, i would like to get the TC i have to work. i checked all fuses in the truck, and its not the shift motor, it goes between 4hi...

i took off from a stop and the tires spun(brown wire) and then clunking pop that was fairly loud. it still drove alright for the next block. made a right hand turn ok and then when i went to park in front of my sister's apartments(tight turn to get into the spot) it started grinding (no noise...

ok.. so as the thread says, my truck is running lean, went to autozone and got the codes read. i think it was p0171 and whatever it is for the other bank. guy at autozone said said its bad for my cats, but i though running rich was bad for the cats. gas mileage is INCREDIBLE... i thought the...

I dunno if this is a true 911, but it is to me. if it isnt, then just move the thread, but my truck is stuck in 2-Lo. I went froadin today and it was muddy... slid into a tree, and lost my driver side mirror. i cut it off so it wouldnt dangle, and when i start the truck back up to keep goin...

so heres the story.... Before: After: TT shackles bodt lift 33x12.50's the usual Snorkel added 07/15/08 The future: Dana 60 front with dedenbear knuckles, alloy USA 35 spline inner and outer shafts, longfield u-joints, detroit locker and 5.38 gears Dana 60 rear with 5.38 gears and a...

So heres my story: i want to regear my truck and put lockers in it. I got 4.56 gears froms Randy's R&R coming in the mail, and the rear locker is sittin in a box at home. i stumbled upon the front locker thread, and decided i must have one. and the guy i want to regear my truck said he charges...

i need lights for my new bumper, and as much as i'd love to get some KC's or Hellas, its not in my budget considering i'm trying to regear really soon. so i was wondering if anyone has tried those ebay lights. they say there water proof and such, but i'd hate for a lens to crack when/if i decide...

So... I'm still working on this. I need to buy the lights. (i'm going to try and fit 4 in there.) attach the skid plate (1/4 diamond plate aluminum or stainless. I think its stainless, but my dad says its aluminum. but i think its way too heavy to be aluminum) sadn, primer and paint it. but this...

What do you guys think about cutting out part of the rear crossmember(round one in front of rear bumper) to fit in a new square tubing(thick 2x4) that goes from the end of the frame rail across the truck to the other end of the frame rail so that i can put on tow hooks back there. (i'm not...

i will give you the story so that maybe you can figure out what the heck happend. i got the opportunity to pop the cherry on my new 33's and lift. (this place was awesome, it had hill climb just to get in, mud pits... everything but rock crawling) anyway. right off the start we hit some mud...

ok, quick history: i love this site. i used search and didnt find much. i got my lift on (TT/Shackles, 2" BL) and i went in for the alignment after my TT, so that my car is all good when i put my new tires on. Just Tires told me that my lower ball joints are worn down and i need to replace them...
