heard of some people bypassing the air pump is this a good mod or is it just something your doing temporary?

Its not really a power adder at all. I deleted mine because 1. I cut my cats off so the air pump was useless, and 2. It grenaded and was squeeking and squeeling and shaking and was throwing belts. So instead of replacing or rebuilding the pump I just deleted it with a cheap delete pulley because it was cheaper. I wouldn't reccommend it if you still have cats in your exhaust because your second cat would probably slowly clog up

Hey guys. its been a while but in the past couple weeks me and a friend have been hard at work on my little black truck!!

We got the frame all ground down with wire wheels. Por-15ed and top coated!

When my truck was on the road, the thing got wheel hop like it was its job, so Kyle and i decided we would build some ladder bars for it. so we ordered a bunch of stuff up from ruffstuff.com including some .120 wall DOM tubing, some heim joints, and bushings. the rest of the tubing should come in tomorrow! then its assembly/fab time for those.

The paint came out wicked awesome. Good thing my friends garage is heated, because its been a cold crappy winter up here in Mass.

Next thing on the todo list is to install the ladder bars, but the crossmembers i bought in, then gas tanks and sending units and such, then the truck is off to paint.

Ive been looking into re-gearing to 3.73s in the rear, and buying a detroit locker for the rear. Any inputs on this!? Im still unsure on this.

I also snapped this cool picture of my brothers 1983 ford ranger, lowered quite a bit. shes on the schedule for a 5.0 swap (currently looking for a motor) (picture filter added by my instagram account)
