Well we had a great time at the east coast Bronco roundup, went wheeling at Rausch Creek on friday, attempted the street cruise on saturday until I had a breakdown that put me on the trailer early. I'm pretty sure it's the ignition module but I haven't had time to dig into that yet. A big thank you goes out to my Bones brothers for all the help with that situation along with Joe473 who stopped to lend a hand.
So, back to the four wheeling... The Bronco did great, spent the better part of the day exploring green trails led by tasker. then shortly before leaving I bumped into a certain inspirational red and black Bronco who offered to lead me through some more difficult stuff as well as to the stairstep for a photo op, thanks Jay!
I wish I had more pictures on the rocks, but there were just three of us at that time and we weren't out there too long before heading back to camp. Plus I was just too busy having fun to remember to stop for pictures.;D

It's been a while since I've had anything worth updating, I've mostly just been driving and using it whenever I can... I guess that's a good thing though. But recently I decided it was time to update the old stock seats, so I went with a front and rear set in parchment from Tom's.

Installation went smoothly for the most part, the only real issue I had was the supplied rear seat latch bracket. It is designed to mount on the rear seat belt bolt holes but in my case that put the rear seat way too far back. So I made a new loop bracket and decided to upgrade it to stainless steel in the process. Once that was done it was easy to install the seat where I wanted. Overall I am pleased with the fit and function and I think they look great. Hopefully I can keep them clean...

Will be driving it to May It Forward tomorrow so I tidied some stuff up and gave it a quick cleaning today. I know it will be a great time as usual, look forward to seeing some of you there!
