    And so it begins...

    Going to be a good looking rig. I wish our 22 badlands had been delayed a few more weeks. They announced the option to convert orders to a raptor just after mine went into production. They were about 20k cheaper then too.

    What's wrong with this truck?

    I'm assuming the pictures aren't current. That dealer is only ~20 minutes from me. We've had a hand full of storms come through with some serious hail in the past few weeks. Know of a few people that had cars totaled out. I was lucky enough to only get golf ball sized with minimal damage but...

    Total eclipse this coming Monday, April 8.

    Don't get me wrong it was still very cool to experience. My sister was about 2 hours south at a family friends farm today and the pictures/videos of totality are just not comparable to the real thing. Probably didn't help they were day drinking and riding sxs's all day too.

    Total eclipse this coming Monday, April 8.

    I was in the path of totality for 17 and assumed being ~98% this year would be 98% the same. Boy was I disappointed. Should have taken the day to drive a few hours south. Completely different experience. If I ever have the opportunity to see 100% again I'm making the trip.

    Anyone around St Louis to look at a 98 bab cobra for me?

    Did you get anyone to take a look yet? I assume it's this car? Log into Facebook It's only about a half hour from me and I would love to take a look at it but I honestly don't know when I would have time in the near future. I can say hpj puts out some stellar cars and I wouldn't think twice...

    Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...

    It's not often anymore I see a video online that takes my breath away. I had a sinking gut feeling when watching this. Hopefully traffic load was super light for the time of day.

    Crank pulley…

    That's a cheap non dampened underdrive pulley that uses the factory pulley bolted to it for harmonic dampening. I would remove and run a March 1158 if you want to keep it under driven

    Priming engine (oil)

    I used a pump up sprayer hooked to the oil filter adapter when I built mine years ago. Won't build pressure but will get oil to all the important bits.

    cutting the trans tunnel for a replaceable panel?

    Sawzall cuts through the floor pan like butter. I cut the trans mounts off a new edge to put in my 96, took maybe 5 minutes

    Carseat latch tethers

    Has anyone tried adding carseat latch tethers to a 94-98 car? Been wanting to try putting my 2.5 year old in the back for short drives but was hesitant since there were no latch tethers for his front facing carseat. I happened to be at the Junkyard getting some stuff for my xj and saw a bracket...

    TRT discussion

    No, the only test related result was total. I didn't specify anything other than total test level. Probably my fault for not being well enough informed when asking for the labs. I like my pcp but he doesn't strike me as necessarily being the most versed with test.

    TRT discussion

    Just got my most recent labs back and my total test came in at 381.00 ng/dL. Down from 496 4 years ago which was the last time I had it tested. I'll be 35 in August, 6'2" ~250lb and 20ish% bf. I eat pretty well, work out consistently and all other labs look fine. I suspected my test levels may...

    Online Wiring Manual

    Take a look on ebay. I picked up the full printed service manual and evtm for like $40 for my 96 about a year ago. It's come in handy a few times

    Power steering pump

    If you would prefer a new pump LMR carries new Lares pumps which carry a lifetime warranty. They are made in Minnesota and aluminum bodied for a slight reduction in weight. I was in the same situation as you last year wanting a new motocraft unit. I took a gamble on the Lares pump and have been...
