I just installed those Mustang 5.0 injectors, i had some problems becuase i had some of the injector plugs wrong, so i had a gnarly misfire. But i rectified that, and it runs like a champ, i got better gas mileage and much much much better throttle response. i recommend the swap.

I went wheeling today. thought I'd take some pictures. It was a lot of fun. I went with my friend's and they're 4runner and Bronco ii. Still lot of fun though.

it wasn't hard at all. they're perfect fit. but i'm pretty sure you need #24 injectors because you're a high output, i'm the renix.

i did a bad thing.
So, today, I did a bad thing, a bad, bad, thing. I went offroading with my friends, and was on a long dirt road. It was me, and my friend in his 4runner, We were on this road, doing about 45 i decided to pull off the road, and went over this berm/divider, and i took the frontage next to him. And the rhythm wasn't too harsh, but one out of sinc caught me bad, and ripped BOTH my rear shock mounts clean off. =( bumber. I road back like a boat.

Been a long time, I've been busy with moving and whatnot. So, I got my axle all welded up, two days after it happened actually. I painted it up. And Decided to paint the miss match color where the old fender flares were. The pictures of the paint job up close are of my friend Brenden's (Guy with the Bronco II who rolled it a 2 months after he bought it) AWFUL paint job on the driver side, luckily, when its dirty you don't notice it. =)

i shimmed the hood, and got some new-ish 33's for 80 bucks. I originally wanted one more 32, but I could NOT find one. So i found a sweet deal. Jumped at it.
