    Crankshaft keyway

    Anyone know what would cause a keyway to shear off a crankshaft? This happened on my ranger 4.0L last week. 9000 miles ago I had my timing chains, sproket and whatever other parts that would go with this type of job replaced and suddenly the truck just died while taking off in a left turn lane...

    New front plate

    What do you all think of this? I hate having a front plate and I don't wanna fix the screw holes so I bought this. Kinda pissed because now I have to paint it to match the color of my car. You would think having the 40th anniversary badge they would match the color for that year right? Instead...

    Got this weird noise

    Ever since my car was lowered I am hearing a whirring noise. Sounds like its in the rear end. It fades in and out between 40-55 mph. Below 40 no sound. Above 55 no sound. Could it have something to do with the pinion angle or depth needing adjustment? That is the only thing I can think of. Kinda...

    Lowered today

    Just got back from the shop. Car looks better but the drop is a little less then what I expected. Do these springs settle at all after a while or what? (sportlines) Car rides different and the suspension is pretty stiff. Here I included some before and after pics. The rain was starting so I...

    stock isolators vs. poly

    Whats the difference? So the poly isolators will raise the car about 1/4", what about the stock ones? The guy at the shop highly recommended me not to leave out the isolators. I didn't get the polys so the stock ones are gonna go back in.

    Good price or not?

    Spare tire upgrade

    This is something I did a while ago but never shared it here. I had to do something with at least one of my extra wheels after I put the 10.5" DD's out back. Had to extend the hold down bolt to get the wheel to stay in place of course. Whatcha think?
