well worked on the x tonite, its a PITA to change the dang belt but i finally got it on also I finally did the brown wire mod to my ex and im liking it alot. i hate how the 4wd would kick in when i would take of a little fast from the lights. i dont have pics cause its not completly done yet, i need to find a place to mount the switch. i did the same exact thing as described here BWM
the only difference is i dont wanna cut a hole in my dash like he did, so i think im gonna make a bracket up or something. if anyone has any ideas of where to mount the switch, let me know

well things didnt go as planned today, do they ever?? the guy said he wasnt able to put dual exhaust on b/c there is no way to route the pipe on the passenger side. so that idea went donw the crapper. but he did say if i find someone that has done it, to get a picture of how they did it and bring it to him, and he will do mine for me...so if anyone with a 3rd gen has dual exhaust could you take a picture of how the pipe on the passenger side is routed for me.
andywho since that went out the window he said he had a performance muffler that is an off brand but the very very close to a flowmaster, as he put it, it doesnt say flowmaster. i was skeptical but after looking at his muffler it looked almost the same, even inside it (they had a cut-away of it) well since i was so patient with him, he installed it at his cost and removed the rear cat for nothing, only paid 72 dollars and i really like the way it sounds.
here is some videos of it, sorry for the crappy videos, all i have to take videos with is my cell phone. and our video camera has no computer cord.

its a small locally owned shop. he was telling me that, the only way to run it would be next to the fuel fill hose, but that would melt and cause big problems...

Well I'm with him then! You don't wanna be a fireball... however, you could always have a faux tail pipe attached. It would only be for appearance. A fabricator could that... it'd be a waste of cash unless it's just for appearance.

heres an update
i bought a set of gauges off of taporsnap44 on this site. they include a oil/water temp, volt, and oil pressure gauge. I plan on installing them when i gets a little warmer out. also those reverse glow gauges i bought were not actual reverse glow gauges. they were an overlay. that kinda sucks. but im actually thinking about putting them in just to see how they look. but we will see.

Well, heres a little update, Im pretty sure my rear end is effed up. I was driving the other day, and the rear end started scraping and making wierd noises, then it kept getting worse. Noise didn't change when I applied the brakes. Got so bad I could only drive 25. Ill find out more when I get it to the dealership today.
But for now, I'm driving a 1993 Ford Ranger with a 4 banger in it. Weeeee!

Its been a while
Well I havent posted much but heres a quick update:
My tranny started slipping going into second gear so i pulled the code which was a PO732. so basically bad solenoid or broken band. I havent had the money to get it fixed so i have been babying it. i bought some blacked out turn signals also. in december i checked my oil, it started looking bad so i thought when the snow cleared up i would change it. since i do it all myself i didnt want snow on the ground. got to the end of february and i decided i was gonna change it soon. well on my way to work one morning my truck just died. so i got pulled into a parking lot and noticed my motor didnt have any oil in it. so in 2 months i went through all my oil. needless to say i wasnt too happy but i guess it can be my fault to. anyway, i found a junkyard motor for 900. had my mechanic look at it and he said it was good. so for the past 2 weeks we have been swapping the motor. its taking this long b/c we both have other jobs and he has a family. motor should be done very shortly tho. also i noticed that both of my rear springs are busted. so this only means some new springs. Im thinking maybe 2 inches of lift all around.
