    Update...Wont Start.

    check your cap and rotor, look for faint little black marks, signs of spider arcs, since spark is always gonna take the path of least resistance. Or open the hood at night and check for any other arcs, distributor cap has failed me twice in about 2 years, common for me, lol

    36" Tires-They fit!!!

    I run the same 36x13.5x15 with a 12" rim and it works great. Tires run good in everything, much better than the sx's. They arent wearing as quickly as ive expected, but ive also been rotating all the time. They are smooth, and pretty quiet compared to some beat up old sx's

    New innovate ideas for broncos??

    How about a rechargable maglight with a sturdy mount on the rollcage. Wire it and you have a tough, dependable source of interior and exterior light. I was gonna mount mine vertically, level with the windshield on the rollcage. Ive got the tach mounted on the cage, so hiding wires should be...

    bronco in hot water

    ive got a stock 3 core radiator on my 71 302, and it cools decent until im offroad, or stuck in traffic for a while. But it wont fully hold water, the top 3-4 inches wont stay full and completley trashed the top few rows. If you touch them lightly with your finger, they flake off. Im thinking...

    i had the same problem, then i replaced my drag link, and it tightened the wheel up drastically. I got the adjustable one which makes the install super easy, but ripping the old one off the tie rod takes some sweat
