I swear I wasn't drunk when I welded them!!! Really :D It was the crooked concrete! :rolleyes:

Awww...brought a tear to my eye...something I never actually got to do with the old girl...

She's really not a bad truck at all. She'll treat you right as long as you give her attention. Like all women - She don't like being ignored. :p:

I would definitely have a crossmember welded in right under the engine. Since you're definitely going to wheel her - you need it. I know it's all solid under there and a removable cross member would be the best bet, the steel is heavy enough to just drill and tap for bolt in...makes changing...

Heath leaving Crooklyn... Almost didn't make it in the first time! Last I heard he was going through Iowa...

Sorry, I just saw the post... I think I got the last one. :) They were originally made for the Ranger and you may convince them to make one for you...they told me no at first, to fit the X on the stock mounts you have to redrill the holes and I told them I had a 3" body lift, but it was...

Got your PM, sorry, but work has been eating up all my time...I should get the updates to this post so I'll keep in the loop. If I can I'll make it to where ever.

I'll take some pics some time today. I've been off the board for a long time, but I'll be bouncing in and out here and there. One thing though- I would never again go shackle forward. The ride sucks!

I'm kinda back... :) Ok, some changes made since last I was here. I went shackle forward since it corrected my pinion angle to perfection. I now have a couple of degrees negative caster. Rides fine, but I haven't gotten her over 45mph yet. Returns to center after a turn...basically...

Those leafs worked out just fine... ;)

I haven't gotten to tweak her yet...so no offroading this year. I've been doing major construction on the house, had a big cinder block shed buit to replace the home depot tin shed...it holds all my stuff very nicely :) and I had concrete work done in front and in the rear so I've got a nice...

I'm thinking of Road Armor front and rear bumpers- they're looking SWEET! But unless I beef up the suspension I doubt they'd be good for the street.

What circles? :p In the words of the immortal Bad Santa - Are You F#$@in with me? :D

Exactly what I thought!

My new baby- 01 Econoline 350XLT. She's gonna cart me around while I tweak the X.

It's nice to be sort of back. I bought a house and now the extra wheels, things have been a little hectic, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel and I can breathe a little. I'm currently caught up in the make the new vehicle livable phase...stereo a little bit of armor. This is NY...

Ok, the time has just about come to put her in again and redo some of the stuff I wish I'd done differently. I bought an 01' E350 XLT 12 seater, very nice truck I might add, and I'll be using that until my Baby is done. I've accumulated some of the stuff I need, just a few more parts and...

You can't work the sleeves free and reinsert them? Soak'em in WD or Deep Creep overnight and try punching the bolt through... I'm thinking you'll need the sleeves for stability...I did mine so long ago I don't even remember if/what the function of the sleeves were, but I'm gonna venture to...

Cool. Wonder if my intermittent miss is injector related. I know I've got a bad tick and I'm leaning more towards a bad lifter...

There is a way to check the injectors, but I don't know- if you use the search you should be able to come up with it. Otherwise one of the 4.0 guys may have some tips for you, bump the thread once or twice if no one responds...

Bolt on yes, one thing to consider- I've noticed they tend to flex...honest opinion forego the nerfs and think up something else...make/get some sliders they'd probably hold up much better due to better construction/materials.

I'll second that, mine have a hole rotted out on the drivers side rear bottom portion of the tube. Nice size hole at that...I keep putting a lot of weight on it getting in and out hoping it'll screw up and give me an excuse to make sliders. :D

Front TrailReady Ranger bumper 1/8" plate, 1/4" subframe with additional 3"s of surface area to accomodate the 3" BL. About 300lbs with the winch. This was of course before the addiction totally took control... (lost photos) Rear is homemade (addiction now taking over), 1/8" plate, 4x4x1/8"...

I thought some of these things had a knock related to the timing chain tensioners...unless that's only the V8s (don't know what you've got). A bad injector will cause a miss though.
