    The Red Bomber

    So I sold my 03 ranger and it was a sad day. I had been looking for something slightly more family friendly and still capable (with a little help of course) and I had my eyes out for a first gen in good running shape. Well the search went on for several months, when a red sled came up for sale...

    Putting a MKVIII Electric fan in a Ranger

    So a couple months ago I aquired an electric fan out of a Lincoln Mark 8 from Turdle and I said I would figure out how to get it in the Ranger. For those of you new to e-fans, these are suppose to pull 3800 cfm on low and over 4000 cfm on high, more than the little 4.0 should ever need. After...

    Of Horror Stories and Bad Luck

    Elusive Vibration

    I have been fighting a vibration for a while now on the passenger side. With my 33's the vibration excites causing the outer seal on the passenger side to leak. I mounted a set of 29s and the vibrations diminishes and the leak nearly disappears. The tires are worn but have been rotated and...

    Front end Problems

    My 03 ranger is going through halfshafts about every 8000 miles and brake rotors about every 15,000 miles. I have narrowed it down to a defective unit bearing. This is the 4th CV and 2nd Rotor. Any other ideas? (BTW see my sig for more specifics on my pickup.)

    To Those with an Atlas

    I am considering an atlas but I need some advice. I have a manual transmission so the brakes and the shifting i don't think will be that much of an issue. But, my truck is a DD commuting 32 miles round trip a day and then 2 hours home on weekends. My truck sees a lot of highway time but also...

    Extentsion Housing and Transfer case shaft

    Ok two questions, first is the extension housing on a M5od r1hd the same or similar to a r2 used in i think fullsize trucks with the inline 6? If they are similar they could be redrilled and will fit more common t-cases. (just a thought) Second question, I would like to know if the shaft from...
