Josh - do your new wheels still have the little yellow dots on them? Or maybe a stamped triangle on them, right next to the bead? This is supposed to match to the little triangle or paint dot next to...

I had Centramatics for a while. I don't run them anymore. They only work when everything is round and true. If a tire is mis-mounted (not matched high to low spots tire to rim) or a wheel is slightly...

I use strut too. We installed $55-mllion of it up the street from you, so it's kinda become my default building material. Building frames is super easy using the correct connecting hardware. I bought...

I had no trouble with the Ford OEM wheels fitting over the centering ring on the hub adapters (from the same place). So, if there was a problem with fitment before, they've worked it out. Keep in...

I hope that's not Home Depot grade 5? I question their bolt grades, since I've broken several large bolts from them using a ratchet.

I agree with Ramsey that bolts with a longer shoulder would be...

Did you pick up the corresponding cross-members? Or will you be using MG's new crossmember for that tank?

We put the Rancho 9000 adjustables on my brother's Expy about 12 years ago. They still work! Even the adjustment part, and his has in-cab controls. It's actually great for a lighter vehicle that...

PS - This is a tie-rod end. I'm pretty sure when they said they "can't find it" they did not mean on your van... They meant matching the application.... They vary by diameter, length, thread pitch,...

Those are pretty tall blocks in the rear. I bet with the V10 you're getting some pretty good axle wrap when you give it some gas. Typically with blocks that tall and a high torque motor, some sort of...
