Hey...it may be ugly as hell, but it got all you guys talking about it. It's primary goal was to get attention....win!

Corolla - 21 Cherokee - 60 Bone Stock Marauder - 80

HUNDREDS of them, all over the country. Stumbled across this while just hunting around for parts. Not mine. http://www.salvage-cars-for-sale.info/salvage/mercury/marauder/for-sale

In Kalifornia, we have FasTrak, and if you don't have the transponder they just pay it off your plate, since they take a picture of every car that goes through. Your plate has to be registered, though, for it to work. No speed limit in the toll traps, though. I've been through the traps at 80+...

I live by this:

Went offroading one New Year's weekend. We took a wrong turn and wound up cutting a new trail in the middle of the desert in an extremely hard rock canyon. Broke just about everything on both Jeeps. Spent 36 hours on that trail, and finally got rescued from our friends who had been searching...

Alignment can be out of wack in the rear even on a solid axle car. Control arm bushing wear, link wear, tweaked frame, etc. can misalign the rear axle. It's good to have everything checked out.

It looks like the inside treads are cupping. You should take it to a good alignment shop that can do a 4 wheel alignment. Wear like that can be caused by a number of things, including improper inflation, out of balance tires, worn or failed suspension bushings, etc. You really need to take it...

I have been thing long and hard about building a pushrod 5.0 Aerostar. Really hard. I suspect that it is close to a bolt-in swap. I know where there's a 5.0 with Explorer GT40 heads and a propane conversion just sitting on a stand, dying to get put into something. I think it should be in a...

Out here in Cali, those get ridiculous money, even in that condition, and the rust isn't that bad (at least, from what it shows in the pictures). I've seen way worse. Put it up on some Early Bronco forums. It'll sell.

Drove it to work. Strangely, I never thought of myself as a timid driver before, but I find myself being paranoid about being hit in the carpool lane. I commute down what HAS to be the busiest freeway in So Cal - The dreaded 91, all the way from Corona to Compton. Glad I kept the beater...

So how much would my still in Ford Factory plastic go for? Hmmmm

The MK V is a great platform, but I'm really holding out for a '74 MK IV. Something about that car just does it for me. I forgot to mention that I've also owned two Big Broncos (a '78 and a '90, both with 351's), 3 Rangers, and a (shudder) '84 Bronco II (I traded in my '79 Trans Am 6.6 for...

Not really helpful...just a bit of a rant... I had the exact same EATC setup in my '95 Lincoln Continental, and had the exact same problem. That means that this problem has existed in Ford vehicles for at least 10 years. There are threads on just about every Ford forum on the internet...

Spare cash? What's that?

Or the LSD clutches are chattering, although this is unlikely in stop and go forward driving, since there really isn't any differential in wheel speed when going in a straight line. Could also be worn bushings, worn tranny mount, motor mounts, etc. When the motor mounts broke in my Jeep, stop...

I saw one on Craigslist in the Inland Empire area of So Cal for $200 2 days ago.

Sunday I fixed my BCM, then helped a buddy pick up a new frame for his "Junkyard Dog" 1950 CJ3A Flat Fender Jeep project. Then I cleaned my garage.

Cool! Thanks. Been looking for a local group.

You don't understand.... I will be unable to do any high dollar mods to the Merc (and I'm good with that). I own a Jeep. More than that, I own a rock crawling Jeep. In my world, JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. The Jeep is the primary toy, and gets all the discretionary income...
