OK - since the cat's out of the bag.. The board will live on. A friend reached out and offered free hosting. He has a soft spot for traditional bulleting boards. In the next 24 hours, after the DNS tables update, going to IHADAV8.com will direct to the new server. Another bonus, it seems much faster to me.  All threads and images are restored. Be aware, if you post on it now, that post may not be on the new server. Please wait about 24 hours to post. I am leaving the Facebook group as is, for those that may be more comfortable with that interface.

I have archived it, and scraped the site again today.

Save this link, you can also download the board as well.

Sorry to hear it and thank you for keeping it up so long.

There are a few posts on here that were really helpful when I was rebuilding my front end, and doing other projects on the car.  Is there any way to archive the board's contents?  I'm sure other people could benefit too.  If there isn't an easy way to archive it, maybe we could manually copy a few threads to the other board?

Appreciate everything that you and the other folks here have done!

Hello heathens.

Due to an increase in hosting costs, I will be shutting down this message board no later than 02/25/2025.
Even though I sold my TR over 4 years ago, I liked having a little corner of the web for folks like us, and you.
It was fine when it cost me $5/mo, but the recent increase to $21/mo isn't feasible for me.
I created a FB group last year expecting this, and all are welcome to join if they care to. At this point, Steve and I will be admins - Jeremy if he chooses to.

https://www.facebook.com/groups/460792206682271
I've never made  FB group, and probably fucked it up, feel free to tell me so.

Wither way, it's been a decade+ long ride, it's time to sunset the site. I will retain the URL, but the board will be gone.

THanks!
Mark

I've watched him for awhile, used to be subscribed. Got repetitive after awhile, but interesting channel for sure. Helped me a bit repairing the basket case Bayou 400 I have. Recently got into Pole Barn Garage, he's pretty funny.

I think the margins are obscene. You could probably build one from scratch from remanufacturer s, and still be 100k what they are asking. I understand there's a cost of doing business, but $325k for a restored F250 with a crate driveline is ridiculous.

Was watching this Jay Leno's Garage video on Youtube - some company in Fl bilds custom Broncos and now old Ford trucks.

Watch this and tell me if these vehicles are worth anywhere NEAR the MSRP they mention..

Easy for Leno to say "Thant's not bad!".

Am I wrong that i think these are WAY overpriced?

That compressor clutch died a slow death.. I wonder if the WP pulley/shaft/bearing got dinged when the clutch seized at speed.

They don't need anywhere near the amount of staff they have, automation could/can and will replace them.

Good. At least SOME balance from the bullshit main-stream media we currently have. I wonder how much actual control the noted three will have, if any. I still think they won't let Elon buy Twitter. It's much too powerful of a tool to let someone that seems outside of the cabal to control.
