New wipers, new rear gate struts to get warmed up, then upgrade the fuel injectors.

 

New rear hatch struts as well, don't know why i put it off for years.....

 

got my bracket for my exhaust welded on. also checked the air filter today during lunch. there ended up being a mouse nest in there...smelled like **** filter was clogged up with bunch of hair too from em. gonna have to go to autozone tomorrow and getting new filter. probably time for a k&n since the jeeps out in the hot *** desert now.

 

YES. Kroil makes pb blaster look like salt water.

 

Just did a green wrap on the spokes topped with a black cobra weave and then a spiral wrap on the rest of the wheel.

Learned it all on YouTube. So far it's comfortable for driving and works well with not burning my hand when the wheel is hot from the sun.

 

Finally finished rear quarters, took a weeks worth of work, after work, to get it done. All 1/8 plate including tail lite buckets. Rear wells all reworked and moved

 

Lol?

 

Ford motors have a long history of spitting out spark plugs like sunflower seeds. I had a great time trying to diagnose a friend's engine problem ('02 Escort) over the phone after that happened. Got to a point where I asked her to follow the wires, and she said one wasn't plugged in. I said that's her problem, but she said there was nothing to plug it into. A quick Google search taught me that it's a Ford thing, and I really just don't understand. The new Raptor trucks have the same problem, by the way.

 

Changed m front brake pads today.

 

Currently debadging and taking off the stripes in order to prep for paint. What a PITA

 

Went to another junkyard and got a whole bunch of injectors and a intake manifold and a 97+ e-fan.

 

Had to get a new trans. dip stick at the junkyard so far. Might go back in a bit to get some wiper pumps and look for some door pockets off an old Ranger.

 

umm, can you say overdue? really gotta do the cap/rotor and wires.. and oil too... but its runnin smoother thats for sure.

 

Hell, clean em up and regap them. They still good!

 

Replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor and air filter. Also cleaned out the TB and intake.

On the way home my transmission decided to act up....

I'm going to clean the NSS and do the kickdown cable adjustment to see if that solves it. I believe it will.
