Lets see my favorite mods so far????

1.2007 crown vic front suspension to include aluminum crossmember, 12" disc brakes, rack & pinion, and sway bar

2.1993 crown vic 8.8 rear axle with 3.27 ratio and limited slip, disc brakes and sway bar

3.2003 chevy 2500 express van hydroboost and master cylinder - this was a simply awsome mod that works great

4.1987 700R4 auto trans-much better than the low geared manual tans it replaced.

5.1990 Isuzu 4bd1t 3.9L 4cyl diesel with 2003 hy35 turbo -its a diesel that will run on vegi oil, used motor oil and other things besides high priced diesel fuel.... need I say more

6.custom made aluminum gauge bezel with 8 autometer gauges

7.2003 ford ranger 17 gal plastic fuel tank

8.custom made aluminum fan shroud with 1998 mercury sable electric fans

9.EZ wiring 21 circuit wiring harness - no more old brittle wiring

10. vintage air A/C and heating unit


I have lots more little mods I like such as the location of the stainless steel fuel cap inside the bed or the 2004 spare tire carrier even the 18" wheels and the much lower stance of the truck but the ones listed above are by far my favorite especially the Diesel engine and 07 Crown Vic front suspension.

Not my favorite but I still enjoy it.


My daughters gave me this camera and LCD TV.


Here's the camera installed.


And the camera mounted in the rear bumper.


And this is what it does for me, it allows me to be able to back up
and hitch the trailers with no help on the first shot.

sweet, looking into a cd/dvd mp3 gps radio that will allow video in from 2 bumper cams one front one rear with video out to a recorder for the cameras and a tv for gps navigatuion and dvd watching whenever i'm sitting somewhere for awhile. guess i'm gonna need another battery for that.

[rubiranch]

I'm going to add a second camera to the rear of our travel trailer.

I haven't had the truck that long but so far the best thing I have done is added the underhood light from a 90's chevy pick up. I get them for 3 bucks each at the local yard after I undo three 7mm screws and cut 2 wires. Just have one wire to he starter relay and the other to a ground and you get 15 feet of cord, magnetic base, on/off switch and a reel to pull it back in. I love these things!

You know why them chevys have them lights right? Its nice to have a well lighted area to work, so the chevy enginers said since our vehicles frequently break down lets give them a light to help them work on it. Yes, brilliant!!! (Just teasin' cause their chevy parts.)

[Frankenstein]

LOL if your going to tease me (Im used to it, Im a mopar guy so I get it from all my ford buddies )about a little chevy lite then you will want to kick me in the balls for this one ...

My 53



The 40 over 360 mopar thats going in it


I like the ford body styles just not their running gear.

[1967AceStroker]

Well Frankenstein, at least the body will look good, just keep the hood down. Just teasing ya, I don't mind the vehicle crossbreeding.
