What is happening up there in Wisc.?

Must be so cold no one can even move as haven't seen any no posts in a while. Time to come out of hibernation & get active. Of course here I am in Florida & it was 86 again today.

Also could be this coming war has us all wondering where we will all be in a few months.
God Bless America & Our President & lets all hope he does the right thing for us all.

My pile isn't quite that large yet :D

Have:
Factory tech transmission valve body
JLP traction/lift bars (en route)
3 gauge pillar

Will have:
Autotap with enhanced ford params
Autometer boost, trans temp, and one other gauge
Long tube headers (with tax return :D)
295/45/18 Nitto 555s x 4 :D

Might have this summer:
Electric Fan

Mach MP3 head unit if I can find one cheap out of a ranger


I decided to stay well away from pulleys and chips this year. I do have a few other fun things like an orbital buffer I can use all the time instead of paying my friend to buff my ride :D

I guess everyone is to bummed out by the bad weather. Too many negitive things in the world also,high gas prices, taxes,stock market dropping and impending war.I have noticed that other automotive sites were slower to.
We need to overlook the negitives and think summer and cruising in our SVT's.:)
Go USA!!!!!!!!

Guess that must be the problem. But it is funny down here in Florida & its approaching 90 degrees today again people have the same worries. Except maybe the natural gas prices aren't too big a deal.

Sounds like a mess up there, almost forgot what that is like.
Try to bring some of this heat back with us. As long as its near 50 by the 17th we'll come back. Maybe -
Oh ya, they are expecting a cold front to pass through the area so it may only get up to 82 next Weds.

As you wish. I posted 2 more and one of my other ride.

A have a ton of pics of my truck, but alot of them are back fron last April when I got it... since we're all yearning for warm weather, the brown grass and desolate terrain just doesn't fit in for right now :D


I have all these pics in 1600x1200 resolution as well, so let me know if you want some for wallpaper, etc.

I put in my tranny valve body yesterday.

It's a sweet little mod actually. At anything other than WOT it gives you nice little kick in the pants on every shift. At WOT it'll chirp the 1-2 and the 2-3 shift.

Worked on my SVT on saturday and am right now actually:D I started painting the brake caliper assemblies and continued removing more of the interior. The sunroof is back in and looks good and I should have my front calipers soon. I got a ton of parts to install on my car in the very near future.

KVR slotted,cadnium silver plated rotors
KVR crbon fiber pads
Remanufactured front and rear brake calipers(can't rebuild them:mad: )
SS Brakelines( on order from BAT)
DMD
Triple guage pod( still need guages)
OBX short throw shifter
MSDS Headers coated by Jet Hot coatings


and various interior pieces from a parts car I'll be purchasing very soon:) The car is finally starting to make some progress and I think I might have finally found the last remains of the sunroof glass:D :D Now to just get it back together and inspected:D
