    EE camber plates!!!

    I dont believe that you will need 8 of them, you should only need 4. Where I work we sell camber kits for Explorers and 1 box will do one side or wheel, and there are two plates in each box. I believe we sell all 4 plates for about $40-50 dollars or so. ;)

    how bad have you been ??

    I've been driving for almost three years now (including permit), and luckily I havent been pulled over yet. Have had a few close calls though... Driving mom's new Jeep home one day and stomp the gas on a straightaway, jump it up to 90 in a couple seconds, come over a rise and look back and...

    Pictures of front bag setup on second-gen 4x4?

    Hey everybody, This year me and one of my friends have been working on lowrider projects at school (bagging, notching, drop spindles, etc.) on trucks like Rangers and S10s, and I would like to put bags on the front of my Explorer. But before I start buying all the stuff, I want to see what...

    Obsessed with cleaning?

    Looks good Billy! I especially like the front shot with the sun sparkles off the chrome. Keep up the good work!

    Obsessed with cleaning?

    Well, I will tell you how I did it when I clayed. I washed with Dawn and dried the truck. Then I cut a third off the bar and kneaded it so the bottom was kind of flat. I sprayed the Mothers spray lightly on small sections on the roof and rubbed the bar lightly back and forth covering maybe a 5...

    I need something to apply polish and wax

    There are several different machines out there that you can use. But first, what are you willing to pay for a good machine?

    Damn autozone employee!

    It seems to be the reverse around here. We go to Advance all the time and are pretty much on a first name basis with most of the people there, and every time I walk into the store people flock over and ask if they can help with anything, and they're always more than happy to look up a part and...

    Obsessed with cleaning?

    Ya, but your paint isnt as old as mine. Neiner neiner neiner :p ;) And I think Hartman is right. Al and Sal would make a good team :)

    Obsessed with cleaning?

    Yes, you can use Dawn to remove wax, but it shouldnt be used as your regular car wash. If you need a car wash go to Walmart and pick up a bottle of Meguiars Gold Class shampoo. But if it is used regularly, it can cause the paint to streak.

    Obsessed with cleaning?

    Spas, When I clayed I didnt really notice much of a visual difference, but I could for sure feel a change. Once I sprayed the lubricant on the paint I rubbed the clay back and forth lightly in overlapping strokes and I could actually feel the paint getting smoother. I went back and forth...

    Obsessed with cleaning?

    Yob and Al, Four Wheeler had one of those tips submitted by readers who uses oven cleaner on some part in his engine that had baked on buildup, and he says to spray off any overspray onto paint, since it will remove wax and/or streak paint. It'd make sure to clean it off just as a precaution...

    Obsessed with cleaning?

    Perry, You think that's somethin? Look at this! That was back when I used Gold Class, but now I use #7 & #26. You need somebody to clean your truck? I'll send you one of my cards ;) I detail cars for a job now. I operate out of our shop and have one 'employee', and we're hooked up...

    Loud POP sound under the hood

    Today I changed the plugs and wires with totally new ones. I started it up and revved it all through the band and it sounded very smooth and strong, and didnt make any weird noises. Then my dad started messing with the manual throttle deal in the motor and started winding it up and it started...

    Pics of new neons

    Well, its only one neon, but I like it so much I had to show it off to somebody. I got me a blue 10"neon tube today. My cousin has one just like it and I thought it was pretty neat, so I got me one. I wanted it to mount someplace where you couldnt see it, so there really wasnt anywhere up front...

    Loud POP sound under the hood

    Well, the problem isnt totally fixed. Dad changed the plugs in it today and messed with it and it still pops. He's pretty sure its a valve. Once we get some room in the shop, we may pull the motor to make it easier to replace the carb, headers, and other stuff. While its out all the wiring and...

    Loud POP sound under the hood

    Well actually it happened before he started messing with the timing. Once he adjusted it, the engine ran really really smooth and quiet and the exhaust smoothed out.

    Loud POP sound under the hood

    Loud POP sound under the hoo Hi all, We changed the oil, and coolant in the F250 today and ran some carb cleaner and Gunk stuff through it and Dad adjusted the timing on it, and its running pretty smooth, but whenever you really rev it up, theres all these really loud pop and bang sounds...

    Pictures of the '78 F250 Ranger

    Well, its main purpose would be for a daily driver. My dad runs I guess around 20 miles a day to get to and from work, but he works at a mine, so things can get really muddy out there. We also would be using it for camping, fishing, etc. We do alot of fishing in the reclaimed areas at the mine...

    Pictures of the '78 F250 Ranger

    Hi everyone, We finally are getting started restoring this old beast, and I wanted to show some before pictures of it. (In previous posts I said it was a '79, but its a '78, my bad) Its a 3/4 ton F250 Ranger, powered by the 400 V8: It has the full time transfer case, the...

    Your Favorite Song to Bump?

    Roll Out-Ludacris Motivated-Three Six Mafia Late Nite Tip-Three Six Mafia Those are just 3 of my current favorites and all I could think of now, but they sound good. Theres also a bass cd I got that has one or two songs that hit really hard and sound neat. I couldnt find the names of them...

    What color should I get for interior neons?

    Hi everybody, Here soon I am going to get one or two interior neons. My cousin knows a guy who sells them for an awesome price, so I'm going to get some. I can only get red, purple, and blue though (I think). I have a tan interior and light green exterior. What color do you all think I should...

    1 bad X

    I think it looks real good. I like how its lowered too, enough to catch eyes but not so much where its dragging the ground. Its a good setup with the entire truck, nice and simple mods, but yet still very effective and good looking. I think the rims that are on there now look good..... Keep...

    Alpine Versus MTX

    I love my MTX 8000 12's. They can sound good and hit fairly hard even when you dont give them all that much power. But once you put plenty of power to them they really start to beat it up. One of my 12's hooked to a Kicker IX702 can tear up alot of the peoples systems at my school. I'm sure that...

    How much did you pay for a rebuilt tranny?

    Travis, I like the Jasper tranny a lot too. I got familiar with it really quick; when its going to shift, when I can make it shift, how far I can run it out in a certain gear, etc. Has nice firm shifts when you push it hard. I really like it alot.
