new ride (SHO)

[jd4242]

Its pretty hard to just leave stuff alone. At least the stuff you are starting with won't cause any possible issues to work thru.

Yep.just that combination is said to really wake the motor up.people claim to see 20ish hp to the ground.plus im sure those cats and air filter needs to be replaced.you should see the stock y-pipe and cats,they are horrible for air flow

O i haven't.i have sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much money into that truck,im in no rush to dump more into it.willing to bet it needs new heads also and dropping another 2 grand into it is not sitting to well with mei could put that 2grand into my car and be putting down 300hp!!don't get me wrong,its my baby but DAMN im well over 20grand into a $1200 truck!!:'( Sooo many parts are one off,its not going to be an easy fix!

I hear ya. And its not even a dd, so you weren't using it much.
I try to justify my cash by saying that I still drive it daily. Your right though, our vehicles are worth even less since they have been modified. I don't even want to think about it.

That's a good looking SHO. I've been thinking about getting one in that body style for a little while now, but they are all beat to hell around here. Plus, I seem to have a hard time going back to cars now that I have had an explorer for a few years.

Reminds me of the Mercury Supercoupe I have. Its a neat car, but it needs a little work. I will throw a fuel pump in it eventually and get to wheelin around in a supercharged 5 spd 3.6! nothing like driving my ex though. love her to death

I've always had a car and motorcycle as a dd.my ex has gotten little to illegal to drive on the road,although I did just buy a set of street tires for it

I won't have a problem going back to a car as mostly i drive Rangers and have 2 now plus my explorer and it was a grampa truck to haul the boys around and it's a 2wd 5.0 that may find it's way in to my 94 step side ranger

No need for one.the plastic inside fenderwell is out in those pics.once that's in it protects or blocks off all that area from getting water on itits a really rare kit to find

Nice ride!
Dont leave it stock!
It is now your mission to make it go faster.
That red looks great, I wouldn't mind one of those for a daily driver.
Sure beats a honda any day.
Congratulations.

I sold it to buy the ranger and fund the swap... made out on the deal for sure!!! Paid $800 for the ranger..sold the sho for more than I paid for it.

The SHO was sick and love it but parts are super rare and it just worked better.I don't need to be bouncing of the rev limiter and wheeling a 10k+ motor.plus in a mud truck it was just being held back soooo much.
