Brakes were complete gone through by Donahue Auto in early 2012 and they replaced a caliper in the front and a Brake Cylinder in the rear.
I had to replace the front brake line that runs across the axle so that is new.
New Battery 5/1/2012 (Megatron II)
New Flaming River Steering Shaft installed 2011 and is practically unused as of yet.
New Ignition set installed 2011 (thought this was where the battery was draining but it wasnt so that is new)
New Flowtech painted headers, new exhaust pipes, and (2) new 31" cherry bombs making true dual exhaust sound!
Transmission shop replaced 2 new U-Joints in the driveline that were going bad..
New ignition and key set 09-2011, new voltage regulator 05-2013
Factory options
Dana 44 Front is reinforced and it looks to be factory installed (disk brakes up front)
Ford 9 inch rear end (Drum Brakes) Donahue auto said they were fine no work needed other than the driverside brake cylinder was replaced.
It has a couple options that were on Free Wheeling Broncos like the cactus pusher on the front bumper and the rally style steering wheel. (both of which are rare items)
Body:
The body needs help if you plan to make it a show truck or restore. I am leaving the truck as is because it will be for trails and light road use. The top comes off and on easily and I have not had any leaks of any kind. The rear window has always worked for me.
If you have any more questions let me know in a message.
This vehicle just finished up at the transmission shop, and just came back from the exhaust shop getting the cherry bombs installed.
The body work will be the last major work. If that is your specialty this is the vehicle for you. If you just want a nice mud truck or trail truck and could care less about the exterior this is definitely the truck for you. Ford V8, C6, NP205, Detroit Lockers, 4.10 gears, 6" of lift, fullsize classic vehicle, 37" tires! Upgraded brakes, fresh transmission, tons of added power to the super strong 351M.

2015 Ford Focus
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Sitting down at the pre-drive briefing with Ford engineers ahead of sampling the refreshed 2015 Focus, water bottles clinked as we wet our whistles before Q&A. While pouring a glass, we noticed something stamped on the bottle label: "1L." One liter. We were palming the exact displacement of the EcoBoost engine our group was about to drive. This was undoubtedly coincidence (such bottles litter every conference and dinner table in Europe) but it served to drive home just how small the total swept volume of Ford's wunderkind powerplant really is. It's tiny.
Of course, this isn't our first run-in with the little triple - we've sampled its turbocharged charms before in Ford's smaller Fiesta. At that time, we found it had plenty of poke for the subcompact, but the larger C-segment Focus carries around another 450 pounds or so and pushes a wider profile through the air. Would the three-cylinder have the stuffing to make the most of the Focus' athletic chassis, or would it be a letdown? Would it be the same as it was when we tested it in a Euro-spec Focus a couple of years ago? There was nothing left for it but to head out on the bucolic roads surrounding Versailles the day after the Paris Motor Show and find out for ourselves.
Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition
Wed, 26 Dec 2012Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
Ford Mondeo classes up with premium Vignale trim
Wed, 11 Sep 2013Back in the day, Vignale was a carrozzeria of the highest order, alongside the likes of Pininfarina, Bertone and Zagato. But like Giugiaro-ItalDesign and Ghia, it has since been subsumed into a larger auto group. Ford ended up with it under its umbrella when it took over De Tomaso, and has since used the moniker for a number of concept cars. Now the name is back in the form of a new upscale sub-brand for the European market.
The first new model to receive the Vignale treatment is the Mondeo, which Ford unveiled here at the Frankfurt Motor Show in both sedan and wagon forms. Positioned above the Titanium trim, the Vignale model gets such special touches as chrome trim and a quilted leather interior, Vignale badges replacing any mention of the Mondeo on which it's based. It also gains an ownership experience - including free car washes for life! - to befit the upscale positioning.
Under the bright spotlights above the show floor, the Nocciola metallic brown paint might not be the most photogenic, but will likely give the Vignale edition a more premium look when it hits European dealers and roads in 2015. Whether it'll be worth however much Ford asks for it, however, remains to be seen. Scroll down below for the official press release.
