What have you done to your Bronco today?

[BroncoJimbo]

Got curious as to why my MPG dropped from 10 to 6.5. Runs fine and the plugs look good so I suspect a leak rather than a carb or ignition malfunction.

Well not exactily mine, the son in laws 76 needed a passenger side front axle u joint....so I dove in. The green strap was used to keep the rotor from free spinning, so I could get the outer snap ring out.

Was that a field/trail fix? Or just a "yard" fix?

Car port (shade) yard fix, hench the shop fan.

Yes that is a 75/76 F250 full width low pinion axle, with 1/2 ton (?) steering knuckles. But 5 lug rotors, instead of 8. And yes on dual piston brake calipers. ='s hodgepog. And yes it still has the leaf spring pad on the dvrs side....

Some people (the PO) and their way of thinking baffles me at times. But it wheels like a mountain goat on crack.

I repaired the hyd assist (axle end) at the trac bar/connection point. It was 1/2 way ripped off on the last trip out. I was repairing a hack job in the 1st place by the PO. I would post a pic, but it does not look like a stack of dimes that fell over perfectly. So no pic.

Going back together tomorrow, and then swapping out the hard plastic seats for some better suspension seats.

111° in Tucson and we still had 13 Broncos show up for a cruise to a car show. Couple members won trophies too

thanks for the support Pete!

Ha, anytime

Got the rest of the hyd assist ram reconnected. Rerouted a fuel line to stay clear of the front suspension when flexing.

Removed the hard plastic bucket seats and put in some nice comfortable suspension seats.

Found some cheap ol Wally world covers to keep the trail mud off. Yes function over fancy.

Discovered at a traffic light that my master cylinder decided to call it quits after 45 years

I was trying to figure out why I was only getting 6.5 MPG when I noticed I could no longer ignore the radiator leak. Pulled it and took it to the radiator shop on Monday. Just got a call and the radiator is beyond repair. Darn.
