Thank you Noob. I really struggled with that decision.... I looked at so many pics, and ultimately these two settled the score (same car in both pics).

Still need to tint the windows on mine... was waiting until I replaced the felt and glides on the door windows, but I did those last summer. I also bought those same wheels for it, but mine are 5 lug, so I need to put my conversion on it to use them.





These are the wheels... I have refinished two of the four. I need to get back on it, LOL.

Anyone heard from @River1 in a while? Haven’t seen him for a few weeks.

@jprevat has contacted him. I've tried to PM him, but haven't heard back.

White, your fox is looking really good.

I tried to see if I could get a hold of River the other day but he was talking about a multi country road trip so I'm not exactly sure what he is up to at the moment. I'll be sure to share when I hear back from him.

Love your fox White. I always wanted one since I was kid. I had a black '91 poster hanging on my wall in 11th grade. Then in '94 Ford sent a poster with a red 94/95 when they launched the new body style. I just sent them letter and they sent me a poster. I think I still have it in the original cardboard tube somewhere. Sorry for the ramble but the thread is slow lately so WTH.

PS, What's new with Frankie?

One on the wall, and one new in the tube.

Ohio, thats really cool!
I have an old 89 Bronco 2 with the 2.9 in it with the infamous lifter tick rattling away. I am running 10w30 in it right now but do yall think it would be worth upping that to a 10w40 or 15w40 for the sake of oil pressure?

They aren't too terribly hard to fix in a Saturday. Wish I would have known you had one.... I threw away a 2.9 intake gasket set not too long ago. Probably the biggest PITA with the 2.9 is the rear distributor. Those can be fun.

White, Im actually pretty surprised I never brought that up before. It was the first truck I bought back in 2000 and have just held on to it for sentiment sake. You are right though, stabbing that rear mount dizzy is a real pain. I need to do my leaking valve cover gaskets and put in a new rear axle seal... I really need a garage. lol

Yes, but first, find a product the cleans out hydraulic lifters. Keep a light foot until the next oil change or at least a few hundred after the tick leaves. Not sure seafoam would do that - though I like it for cleaning out a crankcase. But other old products will. I wouldn't use a cup of kerosine but I believe that was shade-tree, before these modern products came out decades ago.
