    Chop top and cage time!!

    Well I flipped my s%^t last week. Rolled it four times down a hill. Got knocked out and had a concussion, but don't have a scratch on me, which is weird since the two girls riding with me have cuts and bruises all over them. Oh, and in less than 12 hours after it flipped, right before I could go...

    Sport Trac Adrenalin Take-Offs

    I've been trying to decide on a set of wheels for my 96 but don't really want to bling it out or anything. I saw the new sport trac adrenalin. I think the alloy wheels would look better than black or chrome wheels on my tan truck, and really want to do something different than everyone else does...

    Issues with 4r70

    Ok. Some of you know that I bought a 96 explorer with a 5.0 about a month ago. The transmission was rebuilt 7 months ago, but was only driven for a month of that time and has less than 1000 miles on it. I drive it most of those miles (it only had 50 miles on the transmission when I got it) and...

    Flexed out the Explorers @ Allsouth

    At the Allsouth Autosports, we just started a little contest between all the trucks we build where we use the forklift to flex the front and rear out and see who can get the most flex before they lift a tire. Started out with Robbie's 01 Sport w/ Waggy Dana 44 front, 8.8 rear, SOA f/r, & 37s.

    Q-Logic Kick Panel

    Anyone got it? Been thinking about getting it and mounting a 5 1/4 Kicker speaker in it, as well as a tweeter. I took my doors off and plan to make some quick disconnect type things, so they'll be on and off a lot. When they are off I only have the two speakers behind me, and I want to add...

    Finding MPG w/ new gears and tires?

    Got my graduation present!

    I got my graduation present last Thursday. It was a 26" wide Craftsman box. I got the 5 drawer and 7 drawer boxes, but the 5 drawer ended up having a massive dent in the back of it. We took it back and I showed my mom the box that I would rather have (they gave me the box + $$ + I got money from...
