3.77? ford change gear sizes and not tell me about it?
Psssshhhhhh....

With custom 3.77 gearing, the monster exhaust and the massive power gains from the Edge, I am sure this thing is putting down upwards of 400 HP and can move FAST ! Must be a beast...

What can I say ?

Ya, i hear ya there. Payin bills, and payin the CC plus campin trips, leaves little room for truck mods. Tryin to do some cheap ones, like continue blackin it out, but other chit keeps comin up, like mods for the Samurai ! Oh well.
Sure would be sweet havin a garage for the truck ! Mine lives outside, but our winters are FAR more forgiving then yours ! So, she does fine. Gotta love the west coast ! Thanks for the sig compliment. Chris, on this site, made it for me.

Here is the Cali thread:

and check out this off-road vid I posted. This is Cow mt. the place I wheel the most often. A buddies rig, but my Sami has done the same obstacle:

WOW, you know you love your truck when you willing to dish out that kind of money just to lift it bigger and still have it fitting in the garage!

its a '97, still in mint condition, low miles, not a daily driver. I cant see modding it further and have it sit out in the elements deteriorating and have a Nissan Altima occupy the garage. I know I am dumb, but I like my truck and dont plan to get rid of it for a long, long time

I dont know, with 11 inches of lift, and 38's looking so mean and beefy- that exhaust is looking worse than the brakes

my other posts are sarcastic as chit, but that is honestly not an issue. One quick stop, you wont lose any stopping power, and they will be clean as new. It just means the truck has been sitting int the same spot for a while now.

Just

I have driven cars, where the caliper was rusted to the rotor. Some spray, some grease, and high rpm and drop the clutch.... bam, brakes were freed and worked fine. Still runnin em on my Samurai to this day !

Ya, ya, ya, you know the saying, "A plumber's pipes always leak, an accountants bills are past due, a mechanic's car is never runnign right, and a carpenter's house is falling apart"

No, this was YEARS ago, and on my little Samurai when it was stock, and I got it for $150. What was there to lose ? Just had to get her home !

Now its a trail only rig, and doesn't see speeds much over 5-10 MPH (or should I say wont, once finished)
