  1. I live by the K.I.S.S. theory, Keep It Simple Stupid!
  2. Not a dropped hitch, but maybe an extended one that puts the ball further back, or extend the tongue on the trailer.
  3. Nothing to celebrate if you ask me! If it had been built basically the same for 25 years, then we should have cake and candles. That thing is an abomination!
  4. IIRC the reason the 4cyl didn't change was because they used the R180 diff up front and didn't make any changes to it. The V6 had a change to the 28 spline at the same time they switched to a different diff side mount on the drive axles. I'll have to do some digging to refind my info source, as it was something I came across about 10 years ago.
  5. Looking at the second pic in your first post you got everything. The part in this pic is the bearing retainer ring. When you go to swap the new ones on, remove the outer, pull the snap ring off the stub shaft and pull everything that will slide off freely (if you need a tool to remove it, leave it alone). Remove the part that fits on the stub shaft from the new hubs and slide it on, reinstall the snap ring, then bolt the new outer on and you are set. Edit:Just reread what you got it from, if it was a V6 Hardbody it will fit, if it was a 4cyl they will not.
  6. They can steal mine if they want. I bought a high flow, but didn't put it on because the old one was just fine (thought it was clogging up, but it was the muffler that was clogged).
  7. Why not split the difference and get some 34" Super Swamper LTBs?
  8. Just ordered a set of glasses, sent to my work office .
  9. This is better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5wNafq4v-E
  10. The worst part, and biggest B.S. of it all is that insurance will pay for rebuilding everything. They should never be allowed to rebuild in those areas, so next time no one is whining for prayers.
  11. It was more like this (NSFW): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knrdWMIIQ-0
  12. Next time you try the setup, unhook the battery overnight. Without it hooked up the ECU should rest to default which runs it through a learning cycle. It does sound more like a sensor issue though.
  13. You know some prick with an 05+ is going to come in here and park his at the dealer and blow us all out of the water on points, lol.
  14. Yep, but you left out the fact that more oil is released into the oceans naturally than BP, Exxon, etc. have ever "spilled". Not to mention the fact that unrefined crude oil is a naturally occurring substance, no matter how much "environmentalists" whine about the stuff. Could be worse, we could be still killing whales for blubber to make our oils.
  15. Remember the SCs require high octane. With gas inching up again that could get spendy.
  16. Your's probably has a plug in the hole like the rest of us with manual controls.
  17. Front one we were installing a 3" BL on sitting on stock 28 tires, mmiddle (mine) has 2"BL 2"SL 31s, last one has 3+3+33.
  18. How many points is this? This worth any (directly next to 1 WD)?
  19. I'd get a Frontier, more versatile, and lower COG. Especially with the CC, you can still carry people or stuff out of the weather like an X, but you have the bed that can be either open or covered cargo area without a saws-all. Not to mention with the bed you can carry dirty stuff and just hose it out afterward.
  20. I know that it pisses me off when kids have one and are always in the street playing, my neighbor has one, at least it isn't a permenant eyesore (one of the sand filled base ones). That said I'm not going to file complaints about them, or call the cops or anything. I have seen the cops tell them to get it out of the street before though. What was really effed up is that the lady said that they could pull it and leave it in the driveway, then changed the story after. That "bait and switch" has liability all over it.
  21. So is the Focus, if not more so cheappy. Of course I hate Fords, but then again I wouldn't buy a Versa (in the USA too) either.
