Yeah I sent him a PM.

And I love my new wiper blades. Cat remember the name, but they're lasting a while.

Our winter kill wiper blades. Last ones only lasted 1 month.
 
that sucks. this year wasin't too bad, what messed mine up was standing them up in the winter. when i'd go to put 'em down the passenger one would slip out of my hand, hit the antenna and fall apart. then i'd have to spend 15 minutes in the cold trying to put it back togeather.
 
Haha that sucks. My old ones were pretty pricey to. Oh well. These new ones are damn nice. Same style, but different rubber I guess. One thing I find though with the reflex style wipers is they are a tad to long for our trucks. And they only contact fully in the middle. With the edge not touching fully. Leaves the odd streak sometimes.
 
saw a mid-engine ranger at a show today, that was a first! :eek: kid started with a clean but worn out '95-97 regular cab steppie, and cut the inside of the bed to accomadate a transaxle with the engine taking up most of the space between the cab and axle. engine bay was bare. only thing i didin't really love was that he used some sort of DOHC honda 4 banger for the new engine :furious: but still a really neat idea that got my gears turning, slap a tonneau cover on it and it looked like a stock ranger.

it was really neat, wish i had grabbed pics all over that show but my damn camara died before i got any :furious: i didin't like it for the honda engine at first but passed it a couple of times and realized what a neat build it was. turbo'd too! right in the bed of the truck!

Thinking SuperLift... Not much more for 4x.
4.5 to 5 inches of lift.
 
3" body lift is the only way to go on 98+ 4x4 rangers.

unless you plan on doing a coilover swap.

because even with the superlift, you dont gain anything. the torsion bars still hang just as low as without the lift. so you\re paying $2000 for absolutely nothing.
 
So many new faces since the last time I was on

Colin, E99 F250 7.3 6spd 4" turbo back straight pipe, Autometer boost and Pyro, 340,000 miles
 
Soooo many things to do before the first truck load goes to SoCal.

Trying to get stuff done on the house and pack too not to mention things on the truck that I planned to do.

Wife thinks I can pack and get the odd jobs done around the house… wake up little lady… !

Why is it that women think we aren’t doing anything unless we help them in side of the house ?

Anyone ever drive across country ?
The wife and I will be trying it out sometime in early september and not sure what kind of an adventure it will be.
Going to take a 20’ truck load over to SoCal.
