Metric Bolts I can see where the rep was coming from when he mentioned that they were unable to procure the properly sized metric bolt. I believe that this may be one of 2 things: There is no Home Depot near them. They lost their yellow pages (or someone stole the "Hardware" section out of...

Just put them on today after I recieved them from john Baker Performance Products. All I can say is Oh My Gosh! What an amazing difference from the factory cheapos! Maybe it is just the new shock effect, but the whole truck just seems to like them. and they are that nifty blue...

Tire pressures Recently I purchased a set of Goodyear AT/Ss for my Exploder and it rode a bit harshly. Since the tires were new I kept an eye on the little mold thigies sticking out all over the place (when we were kids we called them "water wheels" because we thought they helped when riding...

Anybody remember Doetsch Tech? These were the hot ticket out in Cali about (GOOD GAWD!) 10 years ago or so. I knew a couple of guys with Toyotas that swore by em. When I was looking for my shocks I saw that you could get the Doetsch Techs by length and attachment fittings. Don't know if...

guess I should look at the siggie next time huh? :) K

OK I see I didn't realize that the engine had mods to increase airflow. Equal length runners are great for whatever RPM they are tuned to. I have found that UNequal lengths work better over a wider RPM range. At least this is tru in long tube designs. One other note, is about tube size...

Sometimes headers don't do much good... So you might be better off without them. Headers don't always magically improve the power of a vehicle. Sometimes the backpressure caused by the factory manifolds keeps a little of the bottom end in the engine. For a truck this is pretty important if ya...

Ye gads! The ATSs arrived at the tire store today, but they were unable to install them. Weird, I asked them if maybe they thought I didn't really want to have the tires actually installed, but the guy said they just got backed up. Not a very good day for me all around :( My stuff from Mouser...

Here is what I did And I hope I didn't screw up... I really like the Goodyear RT/Ss on the truck, except they squeal a lot more here than in L.A. where I lived before. Since noone has ANYTHING for an explorer right now (tirerack.com doesn't even list an Explorer in the Find a tire by vehicle...

Here's the deal I went for the Tokicos after speaking with someone at John Baker Enterprises. i tappears that they are a little less stiff then the Billies, and so my freeway drive every day will be much nicer. I guess I was a little afraid of teh Buckboard effect. As far as my experiences have...

Help me decide which shocks to put on my 95 Sport and you could be the winner of a brand new..... well, nothing really, I just need some input. Bilstein, Tokico, Rancho, Edelbrock, Koni, yadda yadda ad infinitum.... Which ones work? which ones are lousy? Truck/car/thing is street driven...

After endless searching of the archives I was unable to come up with an answer to my dilemma, or should I say one of my dilemmae (dilemmas? dilemmage)? First a bit of history Not a member of the Firestone tire club, I picked the wrong time to wear out my Goodyear Wrangler RT/S's. ALso, the...
