New Person Saying Hi.

[Gremlin]

Hello Fellow Ford People.

Id like to firstly extend a happy hello from down under in the sunshine and offer an electronic handshake.

I do not own an Explorer (was that a chamber being racked I just heard??), I do however very proudly own a
Ford Bronco XLT.

Putting aside any model differances I would like to offer heartfelt condolances for your member that has had a
slight untoward dealing with Herculiner.

I belive that all off roaders worldwide will put asside the differeances and stand together united, in wishing him a speedy and painless recovery.

Indeed several of my Australian Off-roader friends , stopped what they were doing, and stood openmouthed and teary eyed in sympathy.

Thanks for yor time.....

Mike

rides

Ok... I just bought my wife a Honda Rav4. man is that thing has guts. I ran across a semi w/trailer the other day. After I told him to make sure it was in neutral and pulled him to the service station. Guess what, they made a commercial out of it! Lucky me.


JK I personally love the Automobile in general. I like the diff styles that come with originality.



But Oh Man does a ford work me over
I have had 5 Mustangs all V8 and one SVO. I love them. My dad has a Shelby 65 1/2, Maveric that we are building. MarkVIII. I live for ford. any of them!

Truck & Personal info....

Thank you for the welcome, I like talking about 4x4 vehicles in particular.

An specical thank you to Jim, even if he has already started to bristle somewhat about his ride

A bit of info about my Bronco, its a 83 model, RightHand drive, it runs a 460Ci Engine with my own custom made EFI system mounted to the top, I built it in my spare time at work. it produces 545hp and just under 600Ft/Lb torque, it is mated to a C6 tranny which has kevlar cluches in a modified pack (+2 Discs) and a stage 3 shift kit.
The rear is a 9" braced housing running a full time spool, the front is a std 44 LS center with strnger LS springs.
I built the 4" suspension lift kit and made my own extended radius arms.
It sits on a set of 10x15 alloy rims and the new generation Goodyear Trail Mark 33x12.5 radial tires.

Personal info....
Married, 46yrs old, still drive the Bronco like I stole it,
I own and operate a bussiness called Slacks Creek Carburettors & EFI, and have done so for over 18 years.
Check out the site if you like at www.scc-efi.com.au.
I am a fully qualified vehicle mechanic and engineer and I specialize in custom EFI and horspower engines....

I may or may not be of use to this BBS only time will tell...

Have fun...

Mike.

Gage, I wasn't aware that Honda made the RAV4, to my knowledge, the RAV is a Toyota product . Honda has the CR-V. Just wanted to point it out. My girlfriend, since she has a RAV, took offense to the Honda typo.

Shows how much I pay attention to the escape competitors.

Sorry!
