i know, flame on, it's a legitimate rebadge. no really, i just bleed VW (and Ford, to come later) but i love these trucks! i has 22re with all the same symptoms worked out thanks to this great site (and abecederian and others come to mind).. these pics are from last year when i was puttin an Ibeam in place for my porch. i've since fixed a bunch of stuff, the bumper, the rear end sag :rolleyes: added things later model wheels w/ 31's (for now), installed 99 Mustang GT leather buckets. 4runner center console and some other interior bells and whistles. put both long and short add-a-leafs in the springpack with urethane bushings, and i must say it's not bad. it can get a little bouncy at times but for the most part, rides very well. and i gots hella more payload i have everything to rebuild the front suspension sitting on my passenger floor, including SDORI's 1.5" bj spacers. just waiting on some SAW bars and i'll be golden. had an exhaust that showed 180,000 miles, in fact it blew the O2 sensor clean out and the cat was fubar'd. so i cut the pipe below the 2>1 and welded up 2.5" straight to it and made and new stainless downpipe going back to the stock cat location, O2 provision an all.. sounds nice but... i think i'm itchin for a a 5.0 swap it'd be so nice to truck it, UPhill !! i promise i'll get some updated pics





easy(er) way to replace fuel pump, except two of the bed mount bolts just spin... D'OH !!
