Apparently my air suspension pump is in-op. The car rides and drives fine but I don't hear pump run when I start the car. I wish I knew what I was doing. On one hand I'd like to keep the car forever, on the other hand, selling it would help get me into something else. I put a single tank of...

Thanks for the responses guys. I found Nittos in stock sizes at Tire Rack and got 'em delivered for little over $500. I wanted to go for the Continentals but figured they would probably rot off the wheels before I wore 'em out. It just didn't make sense to spend big on tires for the extremely...

I know about the Hankooks. I didn't know if they were any good. My MM is summer use only. Looks like Nitto doesn't have OEM sizes.

My current tires are OEM spec BFGoodrich and have good depth with no weath checking, cracks etc. Unfortunately they're 16 years old. It looks like the stock BFG rear tire is no longer in production. What brand is everyone currently running?

Good info. Thanks. I'm leaning towards keeping the car as close to OEM as possible. I think I'll make another round of phone calls to the local salvage yards. These units can't possibly be rare. United Radio, I suspect, is going to be pricey.

That's interesting about the sticky buttons. Do you know what causes it? I have Goof-off and odorless mineral spirits. I'll give that a try.

I put collector plates on my Marauder last week. No more buying stickers every 2-3 years. It now has 73k miles. It also got a new Motorcraft battery and an oil change last week. The tech told me the tires were 16 years old. I guess I should consider some new tires one of these days. He also...

It's been a couple years since I've driven the Marauder and noticed that the OEM stereo has kicked the bucket. A couple trips to local wrecking yards yielded no results. I also need the steering wheel mounted controls. I must have gotten something on them. The black ink has softened and the...

My sympathies. I once totaled a '94 T-bird in 4" of water. The under car wake blew water into the intake tract. Bent the rods.

I'm thinking 'bout it. BTW, your inbox is full.

I couldn't figure this guy out. He wanted under carriage pics. Great! I drove it to town, put it up on the hoist and got 'em. Then he wanted a mechanic inspection because he was 'fraid of an expensive repair bill in the first year. Fair enough. He then asked what other offers I'd gotten on...

Wow, epic. Some people really shoot for the moon.

That was quick. Pulled the Marauder from the market. Is it just completely impossible to find reasonable people to deal with? I've never understood why people want to bargain down without even seeing the car first. Tell me the tires are thin, knock the amount of rock chips, etc... don't just...

I give up. I thought that posting this car here would have spurred interest from actual car enthusiasts. Instead I am getting low ballers and scammers. If $8,000 isn't enough money to buy a rusted out, high mileage F-150, then why on Earth should it be enough to buy a minty, low-mile, 2 owner...

Thank you. It sure doesn't look like it's lived its life on a gravel road in Minnesota. To scratch the speed itch I still have my 2009 Suzuki DR650 dual-sport, my 2013 Triumph Tiger 800XC "Adventure-touring" bike and my 2016 Kawasaki Versys 1000LT sport-touring bike.
