Dealt with that 2 years ago; and found the best way was to re-wire the boat trailer ($25 waterproof kit from Wal-lyWorld) and it has worked fine for 2 years (no splices to come and haunt me while I'm in the Northwoods also...)

If they are both 4.6 (or 4.3) no need to touch the front if the 87 is 4.3 and the 89 is 4.6 (or vice-versa) yes you will have to either swap gears in the rear or swap the front and back both to keep the gearing matched. As Greg said check the codes on the plate to see

if the gearing is the same then swapping the 3rd member is easiest in the how to's of the garage is a How to install a locker. It will fill you in on what is ahead. Not bad at all though, 'cept gear oil smells Get some PB blaster and start spraying the bolts for the rear sway and 3rd member.

I don't know of any running without mufflers; wouldn't be a good story anyhow. alot are running hi-flow cats and non stock mufflers.

Yep and I want a TD27T!-(

I'm making a mount to hold it; asked the very same question a week ago on AC!-) AC recommends a bungee cord... Next I need all the reflectors in my wheel spokes! Bungee will let it bounce around I'll send ya a few pics when I'm done. I need the swaybar for towing and highway driving (95% HWY for me) and @sspipes in Milwaukee can't drive. I just sawzalled the old ones out instead of wrenchin' rusty bolts

Good Luck Lumba-Jack!-)

Louder stereo fixes stuff easy!-)

t/c rods will be rotten in the salvage yards, they rot under the bushing even if they still have the clearcoat on them. about $50 each at nissan

I did the 3" BL, Calmini 3" SL, calmini steering, and a crapshoot of other things at one time. trying to figure out the creaks and whats making noise on long trips. (did I do the bearings right or is that them burning up?-) But it is a whole new monster off-road now!

unbolting mine before I go wheeling over memorial day (and it's not going back on)

I've been wondering what was getting ready to break under my seat,yet I could never find what was making that sound.

fords don't have nuts (they leak oil every month) and I quit drivin' the interweb while drinkin'

You dudes are funny! We give the Jews 3 billion a year to build on Palestinian land (not a towel lover) To get us deeper in a West/Islam war. Jesus slayers get the REAL stimulus package!-)

Cliffs was pretty dry, but was an excellent time.

cool, I was drinking & driving this interweb thing more than likely!-) Thanks Mike Just verified they are stock Thanks

I have been searching and even remember Aaron (88) was laughing saying they were Ford Upper balljoints. Think I can find that post this morning? Nope Just want to pick one up (and know what balljoints in case I have any issues in the future since they aren't stock. Thanks in advance! Mike

Nope natural Gas... like earth farts

Yeah Ethanol sux... (less werds) no want for e85; just mentioned that is what we have in the land of corn and cows. run out of lpg and grab a can off someones grill (joke) :tonguefinger: Hey MZX if ya get bored we will be in Marseilles, Il tonite and cliffs tomorrow(not sure where you are in the flatlands!-)

going to pay off most (okay some) of the CC (Calmini Lift and Suspension, snorkel, ...) already got it and transferred it to the CC company!-) to bad I don't have a Mormon Family... 18 wives and 300 kids... that would be a nice check!-) (Joke...) Testing the new installs this weekend FINALLY!!! Worth every penny; now to rebuild the spare engine with the room on my CC ("Hakoona MaPathfindatada... circle of life upgrading the pathy and paying it off)

we have E85 stations around here but that stuff sucks, we have had a law for at least 10-15 years our gas is at least 10% ethanol due to pollution Utah is running the natural gas REAL cheap and the Aussies are using propane; India is using compressed air in their cabs

Good info; and I agree the update looks like @ss; I was having to refresh to see some pages as they would come up blank the first time (sporadic) BL is an easy and one of the best upgrades (makes other upgrades easier)

Damn! Already going to Cliffs insane terrain; half way there!-( We should meet up at the Badlands in Indiana sometime

Where in Ken-Tennessee are ya? Welcome to the woods

thats a good deal as I replaced mine (dealer got me for $120 for 2) but I needed them that day!-( Mine looked new until I pulled them to change the bushings they were about half way eaten thru under the old bushings; still had the shine on all external portions.
