Got the whole mess out on the trails snow and mud and big blue was great lot stiffer the usual weight was not there too flex stuff out, need too weld on the top some more I broke the rear hatch tacks and it rattled like crazy till I ratcheted it together, got the rear end housing staightened by currie so now I dont dog leg and track straight, got a little better mpg on the pane but need too tune some more

BBB

The bronco got a few fixes

1 I thought the rear main seal was bad, tightened up the oil pan by just a pinch and still after one offroad trip and multible driving times still no more drip on the garage floor

2 made my own steering bushing at the end on the steering column, made it out of cutting board material delrium?????, took out alot of slop out of the steering

3 still need too work on the brakes, might need rear wheel cylinders

4 cut out shifter housing plates and top plates out of an old aluminum sign, still need too smooth and ***** in

5 got the aftermaket drivers motor mount ground down and bolted up

6 new axle housing and seals not leaking, time for the brake shoes I have been saving

7 truck ran like junk last street drive found a vacumm cap croded off, replaced ran better, still need too tune the propane, by the time i get too that its too late too be running the motor out of the garage(loud) after 8.00 oclock, I live in a nice quiet hood

8 ordered up a garmin nuvi 1450 lmt and the topo maps that was my cheapest best bet for gps with trail maps of my fav wheeling trails and for use on the boat and in the work truck 178 at best buy and 60 something for topo maps of west coast

9 need too order up some super soft 4 in lift springs need too do research

10 debating the time and money to push the rear end back 1. 6 inches with the buggy srings verse the 2. 8 inches with the 4 link with coils or 3. 10 inches with the 4 link with coil overs(super custom)

dont want too make a move just yet driveshafts cost alot and too make them longer costs more later when I want more wheel base.
