    Multifunction Switch

    I gotta tell you. I don't like em. But my DRL's have saved me. When my multi function switch decides to turn my headlights off at night, the DRL's switch on and I have headlights at night. Otherwise I'd be stuck without lights. So the DRL's and I have a love hate relationship. I know, Iknow. I...

    My baby is sick!!!

    I know this is an old post. But I ran across it and wanted to give the final update. I finally had to drop $200 and have passlock programmed out. The security light comes on from time to time. But haven't had any issues for almost a year I guess. I've since swapped the mney pit Jeep TJ for a...

    What’s the best 4x6 speaker ?

    Skar is good stuff imo. I’ve spent way too much money with them. Lol But...with that said, I did get a pair of the Tx series 4x6 inch speakers and put in the dash corners of my 2000 jeep tj. For some reason, they don’t put out like I think they should. But like I said, Skar is quality stuff. I...

    LED driving lights and radio static

    First of all let me say, that I don’t throw out a question and forget about it. I’m sorry it’s taken me this long to check the replies to my question. I’m at work and it never fails that when I post a question, right after I get a call to fix something some jughead broke. Then I forget to check...

    LED driving lights and radio static

    Hello everyone. So I couldn’t find anything about this by searching. It may be a “duh” question. If so. Sorry. When I turn on my led driving lights, I get major static through my radio. I’ve checked grounds. Should I run them through a relay? I didn’t install these. They were on truck when I...

    Engine replacement

    Yea, I don’t have a 454. Currently a 5.7 with 215000 mi. On her. But anyway, I nixed the engine swap. I traded the 383 for a 4 wheeler. (Man is that a redneck swap or what)? I would love to find a truck for sale with a 502. I’ve only ever seen one. I worked with the guy. Man that thing felt...

    Engine replacement

    Thank you guys very much. That is what I needed. A dose of reality. Because I don’t want to be the guy who puts a high hp engine in, then everything thing else goes to ****. And I’m not that good of a mechanic. So I think we’ll be leaving the ghost alone. All or mostly stock is looking pretty...

    Engine replacement

    Good evening everyone. Hope all is well. I need some opinions. I have recently acquired a complete built 383 stroker engine. A friend of mine was having it built at a local performance shop when his shop at his house burnt to the ground. Thing is the 84 shortbed squarebody that the motor was...

    Do y’all name your rides? Post em up.

    Dang it son, that’s a full engine compartment! That’s exactly what I’d expect though. Bet she’ll wake up the neighbors.

    Quick question

    Yes sir I had a company truck for 20 years. So paying $1100-1300 a set was no big deal, (when it wasn’t my money). I mainly bought tires for my Jeep tj. I can get a set of descent mud tires for $400-600. When I started pricing 10 ply quality tires for my 2500 i quickly saw where stock sizes...

    Quick question

    Yes I’m sure they’re 16.5. And I know they went away long ago. Hence the “old school” description. I’m not planning on running two different size tires. I was explaining that’s what used to be common around here. (On 2wd). I have never seen these wheels on a 4wd. That’s why I asked if anyone...

    Quick question

    I have a lead on a set of 16.5” old school aluminum slotted mag wheels in 8x6.5 bolt pattern. I’ve seen these on the back of 2wd 2500 trucks. With stock front wheels/tires. I Think this was standard Redneck trim level around here. But I have never seen a 2500 4wd with these wheels. Has anybody...

    My baby is sick!!!

    Ok, here’s an update. It’s a Christmas miracle (early). She’s running again. I replaced the ignition key cylinder (because I had an extra one). And I did the resistor mod. Maybe it’s temporary but right now I’m a happy camper. About to go try her out. Think I’ll go wash her.

    Do y’all name your rides? Post em up.

    That is one sharp truck. I guess I'm biased but our style trucks look good in crew cab dually, suburban or bad ass tubbed race truck. And anything in between. Now you gotta post some engine pics.

    You've got a awesome looking ride. Nothing better looking than a long bed with that stance.

    My baby is sick!!!

    yes sir, you do what u have to do. at least I have the Jeep and I’m just about 20 minutes from work. But damn it gets only about 10 mpg. With little tank I swear I’m filling up every other day.

    Do y’all name your rides? Post em up.

    Just a side note. I don’t name mine till they earn a name. I had a f250 4x4 company truck my son named “pig killa”. Coming home from hunting one night we got 3 descent size pigs in one fell swoop at about 65 mph. So then she had a name. Lmaaaao

    Looking back do u blame him? Lol. I had a 79 z28 that my Dad Wouldn’t ride in with me. I never understood why. Until I rode with my 17 year old in our Jeep TJ. It may be a Jeep, but it’ll move pretty good. And being so short 65 mph feels like 85. And he drives it for all it’s worth.

    There might already be a thread like this. But I couldn’t find it. I call my baby The Ghost.

    My baby is sick!!!

    Looks like that’s what I’m going to have to do. At this point I would consider $250 a bargain to get the Ghost up and running. I have a Jeep tj I’ve been driving to work. It hurts my soul when someone ask where my truck is. I just mumble something about being able to put top down on Jeep since...
