FINALLY! BUMPER INSTALLED!

 

Put a can of B-12 in the tank and some carb cleaner in the nipple for the brake booster line. She'll break traction on dry pavement now. Really surprised how much difference it has made in the 20 miles or so of driving I've done already. Last tank I got 20.6 mpg - might be able to break that now that I don't have to hold the pedal halfway to the floor to go the speed limit.

 

replaced sway bar linkages.

 

Lol I get to do that after work today

 

This was last week but I replaced my tps, iac gasket, tb gasket, plugs wires and ignition coil.

 

Took it off the road recently, thinking of when to pull the motor

 

Good luck with those longer bolts


Am getting last stuff together for rear axle swap

 

it would have been simple enough, except the bolt was locked into the plastic casing...
took 4 times as much time to get that off as it did everything else.

 

Ran another can of carb cleaner though the intake, fixed a hose that had crimped due to mixed-up routing from when I had the upper intake off a few weeks ago, and found that the accelerator cable has frayed a bit at the point just off idle. It causes the cable to be a little "sticky" and I'm thinking it'd be a good idea to replace it this weekend for obvious safety reasons.

Had a great day. Went to school took the final, passed the class. Then celebrated by going to the junkyard. Got a killer deal on some 6x9s rated for 400watts peak 100 watts rms. Installed them in the back and sounds very nice.

 

Just make sure you don't put more than 100 watts through them.

 

My amp runs at 100 watts rms to each channel and 150 watts rms max. And for $10 for the set cause I love that jy I'm not complaining.

 

Took it through auto car wash, Installed hurst shifter. FINALLY installed aftermarket modded headlights and corners (again) that I bought from Derek (D Roc). Smoked up the neighborhood last night with some sea foam lol.

 

finished my front crossmember for the most part. still some little touchups to do here and there...


and finished cleaning up the frame..

 

installed a new battery in her....hell i still had the factory battery in the from 2004, not bad at all.

 

oh lots done today since it stopped raining!

detailed the inside out
wash/wax

replaced my 8k hid's with 12k

finally got around to cleaning out some broken glass in the fog light
decided to delete the surround in them to make it a bit brighter

while i was workin on the fogs i noticed a bushing was getting pretty torn up
figured i'll deal with it when i get around to lifting it

replaced front signals with chrome ones and also the corners
all chromed out up front now!

noticed my valance seems to hang a bit lower than it should workin on that right now!

 

My roommate decided that his Chevy needed some modding this weekend. He's seen all the stuff I do to my Ranger and he asked for ideas on his truck.

So I painted his emblem and lower valance (which was gray)

 

Less chevy, more Ford.




lmao jkjk

 

i'm not an expert, but aren't the u-bolts supposed to be the open end on the leafs? (bent around axle)

 

some are like this. these are factory ubolts. gay style. lol. the ubolt plate on the drivers sides is notched for the diff housing. ill snap a better picture for you tomorrow and youll understand why they did that

 

Changed the oil, put on my new Fumoto valve and then tried out my Diablosport Predator!

 

Working on picking up a 255LPH Fuel pump

 

Did alittle painting under the hood. Did the throttle cable mod. Got my oil changed out

 

Fabbed and installed extension for hurst shifter, reinstalled factory console with modified hurst super boot.

Oh by the way this shifter IS AWESOME......so get one if you don't have one
