Tell the world a little bit about your vehicle
mostly stock '93 supercab 4x4. had it for about 8 years now. at best its gotton 19.5 mpg usually on average gets 17-18 winter 15 at best. manual transmission, 4.0 V6
Engine/Drivetrain Modifications:
only thing driveline wise ive done was replace the trans at 80,000 when i lost 2nd gear, if i had lost 5th id have just driven it as a 4 speed for the rest of its life. i did put a hurst shifter on it, a 2" extention on the shift lever, and a knob from a '82 escort automatic. (it looks like the knob used on a '88 mustang 5 speed, just doesnt have a shift pattern)
Suspension Modifications:
suspention wise the front is stock, rear suspention has 1,200 pound rated helper coils that come in contact with the frame at about 300 pounds of payload, made my own anti-axle wrap devise, similar to the james duff traction bar, but i used chain.
Wheels/Tires Modifications:
summer i run the stock alloy rims with stock size (235/75/15) uniroyals, winter i run steel rims off of a '91 jeep wrangler, 235/75/15 tires from pep boys called the dakota futura, tread pattern looks similar to the bfg a/t. rear brake drums are new but spec'ed for a areostar van, they weigh about 10 pounds more and have cooling fins for heat dissapation.
Interior/Exterior Modifications:
black grille guard, black tube steps, gemtop color matched 'glass cap, receiver hitch, mile marker manual hubs, tailights from a gen 4 ranger. visor shelf, interior toolbox behind drivers seat, vaccum guage.
Future Modifications:
repainting step bars, pull cap and redo peeling clearcoat.
