My resolution to my truck is to finally replace the crappy stock steering box with a redhead and delete that pesky muffler. I also need to drive it more!

Happy New Year!!

I'll be finding my stupid fuel leak and finally fixing that. I thought I had it but no, of course not, and now I have RR plumbing in the way.... JOY!

Happy new year to everyone! Luckily my resolutions are ones that my wife thinks are fun things for her also. We are planning on getting an Excursion for her and a camper so we can do some more traveling.

Happy New Year FTE!

I just wanna tie up a bunch of loose ends with my truck.... mostly maintenance stuff I'm falling behind on. I wanna change fluids in both axles and t-case, do the plugs, and do the y-pipe mod..... and maybe get some smoked tail lights

Happy New Year FTE!
Since I just bought it back before Christmas, I want to learn more about it so I can keep up with the maintenance needs and making the right mods to it to help make it a more reliable truck. I started out the new year on a good note switching out the FICM today with a replacement with the Atlas 40 from Ed at FICM repair.

1986 Ford F150 4x4: fix the rear end, fix the steering wheel, hook up back speaker, and catch up on maitance.

1984 Ford Bronco 2 4x4: fix the tire rubbing problem (soon this will be), fix the rust hole problems in the rear, catch up on maitance, put new throw out bearing in, get new windshield, and maybe put on a brush gaurd. Oh and get me insured on it since I finally got my liscence.

1988 Ford F150 4x4: put the rear tank in, put new battery in, put a radio in, install the cab fairing, maybe install my brush gaurd, and put new tires on.

1989 Ford F250 4x4: get new windshield, fix the hood, install bug deflector, put tail lights in, and get it running.

1989 Ford F350: start 4x4 conversion.

1973 Harley Davidson XLCH: get running, and install front brake (can't wait for this one)

1985 Chevy G20 van: check if it is still running and maybe tune it up a bit better.

Ya looks like alot to do.

Well this year i will give it a new paint job. It started out as a little flake in the clear coat over a year ago. Now it consumes the whole right side of the truck and tail gate.. The left side was repainted by the P.O. due to an accident.
