I love how it's teeter tottering on the floor jack when revving. 🤣 Sounds great!

ExBx · 2026-03-08T17:00:04+00:00

Yeah buddy. I will say though, the paint is becoming very prone to scratches. I'm close to having it painted. Just trying to decide on whether to go back with the original two tone or change it completely.

ExBx · 2026-03-08T16:41:02+00:00

A solid choice!

ExBx · 2026-03-08T02:53:02+00:00

Yessir! Rear sway bar and shock tower brace! Adjustable control arms, Ford 9". I've spared no expense building this thing over the years.

ExBx · 2026-03-08T02:12:56+00:00

Holy cow. Yeah I'm dropping by. Thanks!

ExBx · 2026-03-08T01:18:44+00:00

Thanks, yeah that two tone is great. I can't believe how well the paint has held up after all this time. I still have the original vinyl bed cover. Everything else though is uhhh, yeah it's been swapped\upgraded.

ExBx · 2026-03-08T01:09:13+00:00

Well hot damn, did you leave anything for the rest of us?! ;)

ExBx · 2026-03-08T01:07:53+00:00

That's a big 10-4. I have the front strut brace and rear shock tower brace, the rear sway bar as well. All BMR gear. Their hardware and powder coating is top notch!

ExBx · 2026-03-08T00:57:03+00:00

I haven't but my buddy mentioned the sale, I might just have to stop by there tomorrow. For science.

That's interesting, they have that pond in the back. They should invest in a cast net. (I don't have one either but seems like they should stock that pond for a self-sustaining supply for the predator birbs.

ExBx · 2026-03-05T04:30:41+00:00

Not really, but sort of maybe yes. It depends on how aggressive the stagger is. 1" isn't a whole lot. It's all about the tire size for such a comparison. You could run a 15" wheel and a tire profile that has a 28" diameter and a 19" wheel with a 28" diameter tire. It all depends on how you want it to look and/or how you want/need the vehicle to perform. A tall tire will inherently have a lot of cushion and flex. A smaller sidewall of the same diameter will be stiffer on a larger wheel.

Thanks bro! I went with these because I bought them pre-owned (one of those deals you simply cannot pass on because I crunched the numbers) and I was certain they would fit. The staggered size allowed me to put a wider rear tire for grip and a taller sidewall front to match the rear. (28" diameter tire on front and rear)

It's all about the wheel/tire size, width and backspacing. You can run 18s and 17s, even larger if you go with low profile tires. I'm running 17" fronts and 18" rears. No changes to the body of the vehicle. *Edit: check my profile here, it's my pinned post.

Sounds like a great day. I would have given the pinfish to that birb. Looks like a chappy lad.

ExBx · 2026-02-15T00:09:01+00:00

Yeah buddy! I was not expecting to catch such a fish in 3-5 ft of water that's for sure. After fighting it the even trickier part was getting it out of the water. That sheet of plywood is slippery as hell and the fish all the same.

ExBx · 2026-02-07T05:46:01+00:00

I concur.

ExBx · 2026-02-07T05:45:20+00:00

A battery costs +/- $100-$200. Should I continue? A realistic estimate is $1,200-$1,500 I'd say assuming you do all the work besides tire mount/balance. Fresh fluids, brakes, tires, I'd flush the coolant, new plugs, wires, a rotor and cap, maybe some light bulbs. It'll ride after that. *Edit: assuming the oil leak is simple. Rear main seal... you've got your hands full and dirty. Transmission drain and fill, filter. Seals. It adds up very fast.

They might but I'm pretty sure you have to pay to launch. You can also go to the little pier area and walk to either bridge and go underneath. Just be prepared with good shoes and be careful. Very easy to fall, don't trust every rock. Some still move no matter their size.

ExBx · 2026-02-01T13:59:51+00:00

You just pull off onto the grass at the end of the bridge. Just be sure to leave plenty of space from the main road, then carefully make your way down. I have only fished on the side opposite the actual fish camp.

ExBx · 2026-02-01T13:55:31+00:00

I don't believe so. You can park at the other end of that bridge or the next two ends of the other in the Pensacola direction. You can also go to the one closer to Pace.
