Well some of you may know that i've been trying to accomplish a SAS on my explorer for a while now. Mostly, i've just been parts collecting.... I knocked out getting a new DD and a tow rig in the same purchase. I'm the proud new owner of a 2005 4x4 F-150 with the 300hp 3 valve 5.4L V8. XLT...

Well i got tired of my old bumper. wanted something that looked a bit cleaner and tighter to the body. the old bumper: To start, i wanted to get rid of the goofy oem frame ears and make some bumper mounts that were simpler to mount a bumper on. Then i used 2x4 tube (5/16" thick) for a base...

Its more of a raised intake.... i've had the tube and the snorkel for a longgggg time. finally got cylinders and then i FINALLLYYYYY got them filled. the tube is 16ga. 304 SS. fudged the fender a bit to fit the tube... tube set in place with zip ties... air box all sealed up with...

I will keep this first post updated with my progress so people don't have to weed through all the boring crap associated with these buildup threads. So far I have: Front axle: Dana 60 35 spline kingpin high pinion from a 79 f-250/350 detroit locker dedenbear knuckles 5.38 gears alloy usa shafts...

I'm in a CNC class, so i got to make a pen holder for a project. Used cad to draw up the "curves" and featurecam to write the code. Hopefully Rick doesn't mind i copied the EF picture from the site, and hopefully ford doesnt mind i stole their logo entirely. :D i'm not selling this, so i think...

i got a deal on some axles from a 1976 f250. axles look to be in pretty good shape for being almost twice my age. 300 bones for the front (i think low pinion d44) and rear (i think low pinion d60) rims, tires, and steering box. the axle has some weird hydraulic assist looking thing on it...

came across this webpage... Made me realize why everyone thinks of hillbillies drinking beer and running through farmland when they hear "offroad" or "4wheeling" http://www.rjdsystems.com/offroad/LIMESTONEIL_101505.htm

so, my rear locker threw fits because my installer shaved the pin to get it past the 4.56 gears. i slid a whole pin in, and its been better, not perfect, but a great improvement. And the front locker has never done anything out of the ordinary, it has always been a good little locker. until...

OK, so you guys are probly going to tell me how stupid i am... but thats ok. Heres the story: So i just got my truck back and i was out with my friends at the local ricer spot. I ran my mouth about the only other truck there. Not dissing it, but saying i would pull it across the parking lot...

http://www.gotojoe.net/gotojoe_share/Poweriser/freestyle.wmv they're only $500 a pair. they are called the poweriser if your curious.

so let me start at the begining. (or skip the first 2 paragraphs for the important stuff) i decided to install an oil pressure gauge. that required replacing the pressure sending unit. the cyberdyne unit was too bulky to fit where the stock one was so i ran an elbow and also had to fit an...

there not done yet. i have to cap the ends and add 2 more supports inbetween those rails. then i need to attach the legs and i'm going to bolt them onto the frame instead of weld them on. (because someday i plan to sas and remove the body lift, and if the sliders bolt on, i can unbolt them and...

as the title states. attached is a picture of the culprit (an HP Omnibook xe3) that i got for free. only problem was it did not start up due to the power plug input being broken(easy fix)..... my sister's boyfriend thought he could fix it, and he lost some of the pieces somehow putting it back...

Well since trigonometry may as well be in arabic, i started doodling and it turned into a maze.. and then i reproduced it in paintshop.

yes i know... you are NOT supposed to shave the pin on the no-slip. but my installer did. it was fine at first, but now (6,000 miles later) it is really acting up. my passenger side rear tire just spins in the rain. i cant do a normal take off or i'll just spin forever, and in the snow it is...

this?(image below) Its a vertical mill/lathe. it looks pretty cool, but my only concern is that the picture on the front shows it as a benchtop model, and frankly, thats not enough travel for most projects. so if they make these in a regular size i think it is a sweet space saving machining...

i have a 98 X with the contral trac transfer case :roll: . i plan on swapping in a 1354 as soon as i can find one for a half way decent deal, but in the mean time, i would like to get the TC i have to work. i checked all fuses in the truck, and its not the shift motor, it goes between 4hi...

i took off from a stop and the tires spun(brown wire) and then clunking pop that was fairly loud. it still drove alright for the next block. made a right hand turn ok and then when i went to park in front of my sister's apartments(tight turn to get into the spot) it started grinding (no noise...

ok well i bypassed my usual search b4 i post phase, and just looked through all 1.5 pages of computer threads. i take it theres not to many explorer nerds. but hopefully theres enough to help me. i dont want to sign up for a computer forum to post one question, so i'll just ask here and have...

ok.. so as the thread says, my truck is running lean, went to autozone and got the codes read. i think it was p0171 and whatever it is for the other bank. guy at autozone said said its bad for my cats, but i though running rich was bad for the cats. gas mileage is INCREDIBLE... i thought the...

I dunno if this is a true 911, but it is to me. if it isnt, then just move the thread, but my truck is stuck in 2-Lo. I went froadin today and it was muddy... slid into a tree, and lost my driver side mirror. i cut it off so it wouldnt dangle, and when i start the truck back up to keep goin...

so heres the story.... Before: After: TT shackles bodt lift 33x12.50's the usual Snorkel added 07/15/08 The future: Dana 60 front with dedenbear knuckles, alloy USA 35 spline inner and outer shafts, longfield u-joints, detroit locker and 5.38 gears Dana 60 rear with 5.38 gears and a...

So heres my story: i want to regear my truck and put lockers in it. I got 4.56 gears froms Randy's R&R coming in the mail, and the rear locker is sittin in a box at home. i stumbled upon the front locker thread, and decided i must have one. and the guy i want to regear my truck said he charges...
