Grew a pair and said screw it, I mounted rear tires. 35 KM2 on slotted, American racing 17 inchers. Which then unexpectedly resulted in two issues, I had to remove brake drum to install emergency brake cable I removed 5 years ago to ship frame to get painted/exhaust installed. Then I noticed when I installed the tires, I had to remove my garage ceiling rack which now hit my rollcage. So I spent 30 minutes working on bronco, 2 hours working on garage.

Dash in current stage, powder coated stock blue which is dead on fro grabber blue, color of rest of truck. waiting for heater controls, mine were shot, to sticky.

Bonus question, what is the washer looking thing which has a lip on inside of washer, part of dash, I think start or emergency brake light?


Yeah!.....

Skiddy, yeah said it wrong, but whats the washer thingy, i forget and no one has a parts schematic in detail showing any type of washer.

After almost 10 years as a can at best be described as a roller with 20 year old rubber, it's finally sitting on 35's, brake lines done to distribution block. Why is picture up rotated left? So i go edit it to 90 right and it stays 90 right, fine, whatever


I'm, thinking the 3.5 lift and 2BL is just right.

3.5 and 2" BL is the best combo all around in my opinion:cool:

Went on a 600 mile road trip last weekend. I developed a nasty oil leak that sprayed oil all down the passenger side. Today, I spent some time in a car wash stall degreasing and power washing all of the oil out. I hope I can find the source and fix it soon!

Got into the Bronco to move it and it wouldn't start! The lights and radio still worked so I didn't think it was the battery. The starter kept making funny noises. So I took the started off and tested it on the battery (with the help of my Dad), everything looked fine? Replaced the relay and took the battery in just to see how much juice was left...and it was completely dead. All that work and it was the flipping batter after all. *sigh*

BTW starters are really heavy.

LOL if you say so;D

Yea it was a joke , but seriously I added 25k full coverage for 500 a year. It was cheaper then what I was doing liability in it for. Now that's a 3 driver household with my son who has had some dings
I went with Hagerty. I haven't had Full coverage on it since I bought it, but I heard that have gone up in valve ( another joke)

Drove to work! Probably one of the last days of the year without the soft doors on. Also, over the weekend I polished the wheels up. Not the best picture of them but it looks a lot better they were oxidized pretty bad.

You mind boxing some of that chilly up and ship it my way?!?!?!? Would love some chilly weather in SC right about now. I've asked Migs in the past to mail me some snow but all he keeps sending me is parts. I'd be more than happy to send you some humidity!

Drove it into town (Salem) for the first time. Cruised around a proper city. Dropped by the Line-X place and then by the sandblaster to schedule an appointment.
