I have owned this truck now since 2007 and when I purchased it, it was in poor shape (however no rust.)  I have spent thousands of dollars and countless hours restoring this rust free truck.  I went with an original Ford color from 2005 Ford Zinc Yellow...from the pictures you can see the paint was done right!  The body was pulled off the truck and POR-15 Rust Inhibitive coating was sprayed on undercarriage.  All new Rancho RS9000 shocks were installed along with Fabritech ladder bars in the rear.  The front DANA44 was rebuilt and a ARB Red differential cover.  Most of the undercarriage parts that came off including front coil springs, brackets for shocks and mounts were all powder coated.  Front coil spings were powder coated Red.  All new Grade 8 hardware installed everywhere as well as stainless steel.  New exhaust ran with MagnaFlow stainless mufflers.  Brakes were all gone through and new HAWK SuperDuty brake pads installed up front with new RedPowder Coated calipers along with Earl stainless brake lines.  Truck has all stainless steel brake lines throughout truck!  The Ford 9" rear end has new bearings along with a limited slip differential which makes it run on highways and streets smooth.  The Ford 400M motor was rebuilt and rebuilt Aussie closed chamber heads were installed to wake up the motor.  Edelbrock cam was installed along with Edelbrock intake manifold and street avenger carburetor.  Most parts off motor were also powder coated.  A new Saginaw power steering pump was installed and really removed the old Ford power steering problems.  A new chrome alternator was also installed along with a Optima RedTop battery.  All new wiring and cables installed in motor compartment.  Aluminum pulleys were also installed.  Headlights were also installed with new halogen style bulbs and wiring kit to brighten headlights.  New aluminum Ford grill was installed.  All front end wheel wells and radiator housing was pulled off and powder coated black.  New hood springs installed along with all new rubber moldings for doors, hood, and glass.  Alpine CD player installed with USB hook up.  The old Ford gauges were replaced with a custom bezel and new AutoMeter Z gauges.  All LED Green lighting installed inside all gauges to match stock look with a brighter LED light.  The drivetrain was also gone through and the NP435 manual transmission was rebuilt and a new CenterForce clutch installed with a Ranger 27% overdrive.  The Ranger overdrive is awesome and allows for highway cruising at low RPM's so better fuel economy.  At 75MPH the engine idles at 2100 RPM's which is much better for cruising.  The NP205 transfer case was also rebuilt.  The driveshafts were also renewed with new u-joints and sleeves along with new yokes.  This truck trully has been renewed.  There really is too much to list here.  Interior also has new carpet with insulation.  Also has Corbeau Moab seats that are comfortable.  New seat beats (lap beats as that what was stock in 73.)  Grant leather steering wheel and aluminum kit installed.  Interior trim and headliner are all new.  The air conditioning doesn't work and parts were removed during motor restoration.  Heater works awesome and new heater core and hoses installed.  There is an electric fan and four core radiator that keeps the motor running cool through all conditions.  Tires and wheels are in awesome shape and compliment the truck.  I hope I have captured most of the work put into this truck.  This sale is an as is sale.  I do have a Word document list of all work done and when to the truck along with a lot of part numbers.

Carfection looks for the ultimate pocket rocket

Fri, Mar 18 2016

If there's one thing we love, it's a good showdown. Especially when it's on video, done by some Englishmen, and involving some manner of performance machinery. Like this latest clip, for example, from Carfection. The team formerly known as Xcar have assembled three very compelling supermini hot hatches: two we can get on our side of the pond, and one we can't. One American, one Frenchman, and one Brit. One cheap, one expensive, and one somewhere in between. They all pack turbo fours, of course, but placed in entirely different packages. There's the evergreen favorite Ford Fiesta ST, the Renault Clio RS 220 Trophy that should have the rest licked, and the retro rocket that is the Mini JCW. And there's only one way to find out which is the best. It's a tough contest, to be sure, but lest you think it all comes down to specifications or which one's the newest, you'll want to think again. Because when it comes to hot hatches, all the electronic gizmos and power boosts in the world can't show up a perfectly dialed-in chassis that lets you hug the curves and feel like you're going a lot faster than you actually are. But don't take our word for it – see what our British friends have to say about it in the Queen's English in the seventeen-minute clip above. Related Video:

2013 Ford Explorer Sport

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

When one speaks of sporty and fun-to-drive utility vehicles, few would put the Ford Explorer in the same category as the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne. Yet, with just a few reservations, I'd toss the new-for-2013 Ford Explorer Sport close to that arena for consideration.
As a recap, the sportiest of Explorers is fitted with Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter Ecoboost V6, making 365 horsepower and 350 pound feet of torque. Acceleration is brisk (figure about 7 seconds to 60 miles per hour), as power goes to all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Contributing to its more athletic demeanor are larger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, chassis upgrades, quicker steering ratio and a more aggressive wheel/tire package. Cosmetically, the Sport is distinguished by its blacked-out lights, black trim and noticeable lack of chrome (with the exception of the door handles).
Ford recently handed me the keys to a Ruby Red Metallic Explorer Sport. Rather than mindlessly drive the big seven-passenger all-wheel drive hauler in soccer mom circles around Los Angeles, I loaded up my family and embarked on a long weekend road trip to Yosemite National Park.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
