    Farewell to a faithful friend, hello to a new one

    I had owned the car since 1985. It saw a wide variety of engine, trans and color combo's over the years. One night at a car show an older gentleman approached me asking if the car was for sale. I said no but he kept bugging me. Turns out he bought a Verdoro Green 68 Firebird when he got back...

    Farewell to a faithful friend, hello to a new one

    This is my old 68 Firebird. I bought it in 1985 and owned it until last year. I totally restored it over a 5 year period. It had a worked 428 that was pushing out over 475HP, a 4 speed, and a 12 bolt rear with 3:73 gears.

    Farewell to a faithful friend, hello to a new one

    Guys, I didn't take it like someone was pissing on my parade. Everyone has their likes and dislikes. I've never been a huge Ford guy and really don't know a whole Hell of a lot about them. My buddy Brian has been my friend since before high school which is now about 30 years. We played on the...

    Farewell to a faithful friend, hello to a new one

    Not sure which axle I have. My buddy told me that he specifically ordered a traction lock rear. I googled Ford axle ID and it showed me where to find the axle code on a trim plate inside the driver's door. I looked it up vs what the Ford axle ID specs said online and it gave me axle code H9...

    Farewell to a faithful friend, hello to a new one

    My 02 4 Runner. Sadly I sold it this morning. Long story short, I was helping my friend drop a 331 stroker motor into his 92 Mustang and we were talking cars. He's an ASE certified mechanic and has worked for the same Ford dealership for over 20 years. He's a die hard Ford guy. He has a 69...

    4 Runner garage mates! lets see em and talk about them.

    My 4 Runner doesn't sit in the garage. My wife gets one side of the garage and the other side of the garage is reserved for my 72 Z/28. It's a real 72 Z/28 but it's not stock. The original 350 is long gone replaced by a 454 crate motor that's pushing out just over 500hp. The trans is a Tremec...

    Thoughts on France today?????????

    Your lack of understanding their culture makes you an easy target. Do you understand what we're dealing with here? I mean REALLY understand. Not what you see on CNN or your local news. These people want to kill you, your children, your parents, and EVERYONE you know. They can't be negotiated...

    Thoughts on France today?????????

    Here's the thing. This ISN'T a revolt. This is a WAR. To them it's a Holy war which is the most dangerous because the people involved believe that their cause is a divine one. Over the years the Jews, Hindu's, Buddhists, Taoists, ect haven't embraced a culture of violence. I'm not experienced...

    Thoughts on France today?????????

    Let me clarify. I mean ISIS, Al Quaeda, and all the other terrorist organizations and anyone and everyone who assists them, provides them shelter, or aid, or finances their war on the US. What part of these people want to kill you, your kids, and everyone else you know don't people...

    Thoughts on France today?????????

    Here's what I think and if I get banned, then so be it: It's time to STOP being so politically correct with our enemy. We need to stop worrying about hurting feelings and what another country thinks. F-em all. I say we cut the head of the snake off and kill. Not wound, not worry about civilian...

    Cool Cars Thread

    I must be a car snob because about 80% of the cars I've seen posted are not what I'd call "cool". I like me some good old American Muscle for cool. Here's my 72 Z/28. It's a real documented Z/28 but the original 350 has been replaced with a worked 454 that's pushing out just over 500HP. That...

    Can SOmeone tell me what this is

    I'm hoping this is serious. That controls the 4WD functions. On my particular 4 Runner that shifter allows me to change from 4-high to 4 lo or neutral. On the side of mine is the AWD function button. Not trying to be a smartass but you bought a 4WD vehicle and if you're not sure of the...

    Learning to Shoot and Carry

    I've never used bear spray. Other than the 6 years I spent in the Marines, I've lived all my life in Pennsylvania where we have black bears and Coyotes in the Pocono Mountains. I've seen both black bears and Coyotes at pretty close range while fishing and neither one is really any kind of a...

    LED Bar in Hood Scoop Write-Up (3rd gen 4Runner)

    Just wait until he installs the blue neon lights on his undercarriage. While I can appreciate the time, effort, and fab work. It cost nearly $500.00 and to me that is a lot of money to put a light in your hood scoop but to each his own.

    Learning to Shoot and Carry

    I think that leaving a loaded or unloaded weapon in your truck is a BAD idea. Way too many bad things can happen. Remember that weapon is registered in YOUR name. If someone takes it out of the truck you could be in for some serious issues. I own several weapons. I have a safe in my home for...
