My 1992 F150 FlareSide

[ITI Recovery]

Here is my 1992 Flare Side. Has a 4" Superlift on it, warmed over 351 and automatic. I originally bought it to build my Bronco but ended up liking the truck better.

Plans are selling the Bronco, SAS this rig, 37's, cage and bumpers. Not to mention the little things in between like winch etc.

Just need to find a good shop in the Upstate of SC area. Seems like everyone wants to sell me a body lift and some 20" bling wheels.

Truck looks good! Mine doesn't have the steps or rear bumper. I have some hacked on rollpan thing...that is going to get ripped off pretty quick on the trails.

Yea I don't have those steps anymore, I ripped them off after the last URE trip

Yeah I may have found my axles for the sas. Well, supposed to be getting a D44 and 9" on Saturday. Already locked with 4:88 gears and hydro assist, extended radius arms and all the fixins. Been speaking with a shop about doing the swap and am waiting on an estimate from them.

 

[jyaks]

well let me know about the estimate, already have my axles about to get them regeared and locked.

I just shot them a text. Will see what happens. Would really like to link it out back but the budget isn't there yet for that project. After the axle swap I will be using my GPS for rough speed calculations.

Still haven't heard back on the quote for the SAS. Guess they don't want the job.

I have been repairing the floorpan on it the past few days. I can tell that this truck spent some time up north lol.

Well, been a day or 2 since I updated this. Got the bracketry to mount the supercharger. Hoping to get that all mounted up this weekend if all goes well. Also been over on NLOC and looking at a customer mass air setup for 42 lb injectors. If I don't go that route, may go with a FAST setup. I have found a zf manual trans and bw manual tcase out of a 1993 f250 that I will be picking up on Saturday. Did I mention that I really don't like automatic transmission lol

Also started prepping my Whelen Liberty LED light bar to go on. Changed over a few of the lightheads to clear and they are freaking bright! Also picked up a set of LED hide away strobes.

Still fighting a poor fuel mileage issue and check engine light. I tested the tps and it is all out of whack so I have a new one ordered and it should be here friday. Get that all set to 0.98V and hopefully that will help me out a little more. Found out that the smog pump was binding up and causing a chirping noise. Put a delete pulley on it and closed everything up.

Also changed the plugs over to Motorcraft copper core plugs, MSD race wires and opened the gap up a little on them. Not to mention the MSD 6AL, MSD coil etc.

Couple of pics with the lightbar on the roof. I have to fab up a bracket for it but that shouldn't be too hard.

These are the hide away led light heads.

Got a little more work done this weekend. Got a Cobra 25 cb mounted up. I have a Galaxy Flamethrower 959 on the way but this will do for now. Also got a summit tach and oil psi gauge mounted up in a dual pillar pod. Then I actually got the KC lights up front rewired and done properly. Then I did something I haven't done in a long time...actually washed one of my trucks lol.

Yep, I am a big Tamiya fan. Got a few old Bruisers up on the shelf. I have the TXT-1 that Xtreme RC Magazine used in their review as well as a few other classic Tamiya trucks.
