Changed out the rear springs on the bronco next weekend its time for the rear axle. Gonna swap in a 3.00 pumpkin, pull the front shaft and change the speedo gear for milage in the summer then winter the 3.50s will go back in.

In the process of swapping out an XLT Lariat interior to my base truck. Got to like the plug & play of Ford wiring.

Pulled the control valve and steering lines off Red...then decided I didn't wanna work on any of them any more.

With the gas prices, I realized it was time to change my driving habits. I have implemented a strict 2K RPMs limit whilst driving. Did that today, and my gas gauge didn't even move. Gas saving FTW!

I have to try.lol. Yesterday I went out to Gander Mountain, it's maybe a 20 minute drive. Burned a quarter tank just to go there, and back.

I've been quite the speed demon lately. I need to stop, at least until I find a better job that pays more.

Well, I just say to myself that spending 30G's on a new truck sure pays for a lot of gas for the old one. Long Live The Old Trucks. I feel like putting on a bumper sticker that says.... LET'S SEE YOURS IN 28 YEARS.

replaced a window switch in the Mustang

 

[5.0Flareside]

checking the plugs and gaskets on the flareside right now...

sware.. got the laptop on the rad support...

 

[5.0Flareside]

no wonder the son of a ***** was giving me issues.. the plugs for some reason were gapped at .43 instead of .55 for the platinums i've got in...

guess i had a DEE DEE DEE moment..

 

[1985 Ford F-150]

Got the other half of the lift kit for the bronco today gonna be puttin that on after I finish the rear axle.

 

[slmann]

replaced the drivers side power lock switch today. now I just need to trace down a loose wire for the passenger side. Looks like a previous owner had an alarm on the car, it's a bit of a wire mess.

 

[smokey]

Pulled the radios out of the explorers. Sold them both today. They are picking them up Wednesday I have to swap stock wheels back on to them before then.

Finally got the Bronco back in the shop on the weekend and made up a set of brackets to install my ladder bars, got them done and tore the frontend apart to change axle u joints and upgrade front brk pads to Hawk 1 ton type, also installed a finned alum front d44 diff cover. Also installing 6" longer braided steel brake hoses tonight with a limiter straps for the diff. So far on a roll, having a good time working on my truck instead of everyone elses.

 

[LEB Ben]

Got flat out spanked by a 90's Vette, I knew I would, just had to try it out red light to red light. Then kept getting blown off the line by a WRX, but would gain ground quickly.




Disclaimer...never broke the speed limit.

 

[Austin]

WRX - AWD?

Vette - lame.

^^^I guess so...each time, I blame the auto tranny.

That could be it too. Always more fun with a manual, but I sure do like not having to shift!
