Since I plan to keep the Marauder until I croak and apparently Ford has already dropped production of some parts I was thinking of buying some for my own inventory.

Like suspension air compressor and air bags.

Or will these still be available in 10 years?

What else should I stock up on?

those should be around for awhile yet. You need to look for the Marauder specific parts, like bumpers, interior parts (trim, console, steering wheel etc.) an maybe an extra rim (wheel) or two.

Early on I had a tire problem and the tire place scratched a rim. They bought a new one and let me keep the scratched one. A decent wheel shop should be able to fix it up. :)

My question is for how long?You'll have to ask Arnott that question. Since the last Panther-chassis car was built 6 years ago, Ford no longer cares about us, but RAS components are Arnott's whole business.

Hopefully not before you croak ;)...Or as long as there is sufficient demand, I suppose.

Worse comes to worse, you could swap from air set up to springs? :confused:

I think you've unfortunately probably just about missed out on all the Marauder specific parts that have been discontinued.

However, I am surprised sometimes about what suddenly pops up New Original Stock on ebay or someone at this site is willing to suddenly sell. Also, seems this is the place to go for the used parts from part out cars.

Just when I thought steering wheels or rear reflector panels were unicorn, they suddenly popped up NOS on ebay. But have your money $$$ ready.

Lose the Reinhart chip and go xcal 4 SCT with a MO's tune from the vendor section to get you out of the past
