    PA Hit & Run

    I was in an accident in my Ranger a few weeks ago. I was coming down a private drive to my house and hit a curb and pole with the drivers wheel of my truck. It ripped the suspension all apart, no real body damage. I drove the car into a lot nearby and had it towed by roadside that night. I...

    got a truck, pic

    Today (not in this picture), I put the new 06+ ranger nameplates on the sides in place of the original "Ranger XLT". It has a new 4x4 emblem on the back that comes on the tailgate of an 06 Explorer Sport trac. I always thought the emblems in the picture look dated. I was at out tonight and...

    5.0 Engine build question

    I would like to build a 5.0 347ci Stroker engine. I was thinking about buying a ~$500 engine/tranny combo out of a ~1990 Mustang GT. I would tear the whole thing down and sandblast the appropriate components and then paint them. If I buy an Eagle 347 Stroker kit will it fit into the engine...

    Roll Cage...

    I'm looking into doing a safety overhaul on my 03SVT and was wondering if the Steeda Roll Cage is a good option or if there are better choices on the market. I will also put in racing seats and full harnesses so a suitable harness bar will need to be on the roll cage. I'm not sure if the...
