Trust me, I have one hell of a thick skin.

I just needed to get away for a while.

I have been away from this site for a while now but I see this thread and a few others pop up from time to time on my website stats. There is no way I am going to offer a hub to hub kit for some time. And when I do, they will not be cheap-o crapola. Almost everything you get from a sub-$2K IFS kit i...

I do all the time and bitch about it too!

You have to be mental to want to put these engines in anything!

How do those hold up? Looks like a lot of stress on that one weld.
How much are they?


PM sent on the rack.

Doing just as fine as the day this was filmed.

Engine mounts with a LIMA have always been a bit of a bitch with anything other than stock manifolds. So I came up with these: http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb93/ELpolacko/Dakota%20IFS%20files/LimaMountsB.jpg http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb93/ELpolacko/Dakota%20IFS%20files/BobbyMillerF100...

Shocks, KYB are pretty good and I used to run them until I found the Bilstein shocks. www.rcdclassics.com I am a dealer for these guys and for such an aggressive shock they deliver one of the smoothest rides ever. the Gen III fronts are pretty much just like the regular kits when it comes to oil pan...

If it helps we have been running a sale on our crossmember kits. Current recession sale pricing is $589.00 plus shipping, "Get yours today!"

Awsome, thanks for reminding me why I've been away so long. I think I will keep it that way.

Not planning on standing in front of any running vehicles any time soon. Just too paranoid, No need to prototype the hood kit. I have had one since the turn of the century! LOL, really I have had one on my truck since 1999 and I am just going to update it and make 10 sets. This is a 1955 Studebaker ...

Hey, I wanted to update those few who want the front tilt hood kit and what has been going on recently. If anything can go wrong, it has. I was just starting the design of the hinges copied from my truck a few weeks back when I got a call from a semi-major parts supplier asking me to build my firewa...

preventing this sort of thing from happening is my day job. Belive me, it hurts to see this sort of thing happen to anyone. I just stress proper engineering when it comes to installing your IFS regardless of what type it is or who made it. IF we don't watch this sort of thing as an industry the FED ...

I don't think there are many of you here with this type of front suspension but it does serve as a warning to check your stuff.

$900.00 for a set. Black powdercoated and Stainless hardware where I can.

I don't hold being crotchety against you El whatever, I am sure you are aged to the point where communication with lesser mortals such as I has become trivial. Please forgive my dumbfound nature and irrelevant, annoying questions. See, now that is funny! Sarchasm works when both parties understand ...

Not the worst subrame job I have seen. You could save it by finding a body shop willing to work with you. If they could pull it back into alignment you could go back and box the frame rails and put in the needed support to prevent this sort of thing from happenng again. Aftermarkt MII stuff is odd. ...

I've managed to rack up over 10K miles on my green truck this year alone. I haven't experienced any of the ill affects some of you describe,, I do experience people every day cranking their necks around and doing stupid things to get my attention. Pretty comical. Lorna wasn't used to such things whe...

Grump? Internet anonimity plays strange tricks with the brains perception. I was just being clear and to the point. Plus the smileys are fun to add strange emphasis to your quips! The hood guy is searching out a glass company to lay them up. It will be a while before we have numbers. Patitence my fr...

I have a question about the Dakota subframes. Will the newer 05-08 Dakota suspension parts fit on the Dakota kits I was wondering because the newer Dakotas have gone to the 5X5.5 bolt pattern. No, they do not fit. I have not been keeping up with the Dakotas since they changed to the third generatio...

They are pretty expensive but are damn nice. Pretty funny joke there..... Why do you want to buy an aftermarket subframe instead of just a crossmember installation kit? I have written at length about Mustang II based suspensions before. Let me just cut to the quick: Will it work-short answer is yes...

I have no idea, Ford used so many different transmission configureations. Its enough to make a man pull out his hair trying to figure it all out.
