After the front end parts and 2 day alignment... I noticed the never ending belt squeaking has stopped. ? Only change is weather, it is much warmer. Unless the ball joints are connected to the belt somehow. Naaaa.

Nice! But knowing what a fighter the belt squeal can be leaves me with a thought in my back pocket. :-/

Thanks brotha . My wife for years has had a lil desk at home that was just a mess cause of space . She's hit 3.5mil in sales already for the year and knew it was the right time to build one for her to feel good settin at as she works in our new home . Realtors work hard . Didn't realize that til she became one and see her at 1am lookin for potential homes for her buyers . First time building a desk but got me thinkin ðŸ¤‘ . Doin hard line mechanic work all day made me appreciate the simpler task this weekend in building that desk . I got $250 in to it and I'm seein them sell for 4x that on Etsy .

My latest projects.
Installed a 7" Chinese Head unit with GPS / Radio/ Backup camera. Under $100.00 from AliExpress and works great.

Swapped out instrument cluster with one that has the Tachometer. Swapped out my speedometer to retain the odometer reading.

Next project will be to cover the bezel with Carbon Fiber wrap I am waiting on.

So pullied the t5 out and went through it really quick . Upgraded the second gear brass Synchro to a carbon fiber . Knocked it out in2hrs and back on the road to make it to work tomorrow. Just gettin things setup for the event on the 27th . Got my spares ready . Just need to fix a ps leak and change the oil . Thinkin about running 10-40 . Thoughts ? I just know when I change the oil it's thin . I know it's from me beatin on him so hard so thinkin going up to a 40 weight . Mind you this motor now has 200k from the original owner when it was in the expo and now 30+k of hardlife livin . I did change out the oil pump when I did the pan swap to a fox pan setup . It a meilings hp/hv so it moves some oil . on dummy gauge is almost 3/4 on start up and Lil over half on warm

Upload it to the gallery where Chris installed a handy rotate button and attach it with the G button.

Took him to he jy to score some goodies . Got my son two spin tech mufflers for $30 bucks and both front seat belts for $16. Then I went lookin for the ranger . Found a splash with both grille sides that go above the blinkers . And a oem Ford Explorer bug deflector. I like the way the expos look compared to the rangers oem or aftermarket . Just need to clean it up and hit it with some nightshade behind it to darlkin it up a lil .
