Thanks guys. Turns out I did have the NSS and it's bad. When I first converted to Auto I had the old harness manual so I didn't have one for a few years. When I did the full body off a few years ago I put one in with the new harness and forgot I did it. Stupid flimsy plastic backing plate on...

Hi All, I pulled my bronco out of the garage to get the Halloween stuff down and when I went to restart to pull it back in nothing. I've got power coming out of the ignition switch going toward the starter when I turn it to start but at some point it's not making it to the solenoid to get it...

good point about having it bolted to the bed rails and window frame. I was stuck thinking either bed rails only and something free hanging out over the windshield like a normal truck rack, or just a hitch rack and the windshield.

Thanks. I was looking at those for ideas. Only thing is the front attachment. I'm not sure the front windshield would be able to handle the stress if it was attached using the stock windshield hardtop bolt holes and I don't want to put a bracket on the windshield or fender. The paint issues...

I need something to carry my paddle boards on the Bronco while keeping the soft top on. Total weight isn't much but the size is going to be like a big sail up there so it needs to be pretty strong. Looking for pictures or ideas. I'm thinking an exo style bed rail lumber rack or something...

Soaked it a few times over night and it came loose no problem this afternoon. That stuff is magic! Adjusted the toe and it's like a whole new rig. I can't believe how much difference it made. Also tightened up the nut that attaches the draglink to the pitman as it was a little loose. I'll...

Tie rods ends are stuck in the sleeve. That thing is jammed up good. Hit it with PB blaster and a propane torch and tried turning it with a pipe wrench and it's a no go. Any ideas?

So it looks like my toe is off by quite a bit. Finally got a couple minutes to go out and do a quick measurement. It's 9/16 wider in the front than the back. I just used the tape method so I'll confirm that when I have a little more time. The axle does appear to be centered under the body...

No slop in steering box, it's fairly new and all but the C bushings are new poly. It has very low mileage 32 x11.50's BFG AT's on it and are the same tires I had prior to the 2.5 inch springs. I know for sure the box is not centered. I still have to get a fully indexed pitman arm to do that...

For this measurement does it matter how exact I get the measurement in the "front" vs. "back"? Ie. do I need to use a level vertically along the tire to make sure I'm getting exactly the front and then 180 deg. when I roll it around or can I approximate it?

That sucks man. You shouldn't need to buy new frames as long as it's only the weld where the frame and door meet. Just reweld and have the paint shop blend it in. My 68 frames bolt in, but my drivers frame did crack up front where it goes into the door. I welded it up and ground it down and...

The bronco not the ol'lady... Background: It has a strange Power steering set up that a PO put in out of an old Mercury car. It puts the pitman at a bit of a strange angle, ie the shaft is cocked toward the back a little so they could get the steering shaft to clear the frame. I would have...

Found it. Pulled the wheel and adapter off the column and the signal shut off cam deal (steel) came loose and was rattling around in there grounding things out. Chucked it and everything works great now. I'll just have to remember to turn off the blinker on my own now. Glad it was something...

just checked column wiring again and now; with left turn signal switched on I have conductivity between 4 wires, with right on I have 3 wires. What the hell? With nothing switched on there is no conductivity between any wires or to ground. maybe it is in the column.

I keep blowing fuses. All other lights work brake lights and running lights work great. I put in an all new wiring harness (the e-bay slightly bronco specific harness) when I did the rebuild and have had this problem from the start. It started with only the right side. Left worked fine, and...

I bought a 120 mig welder on CL for 400.00 that came with a CO2 bottle, extra wire, cart etc. and got my practice in on all the holes in the floor of the tub from old seats, roll bars etc. from myself and PO's. By the time I was done with all those I was pretty good so I did all the reflector...

Voyager marine, and they have been fantastic. $150/year. It's an agreed value ($10K that I need to up) classic car policy. It's limited in mileage and won't cover damage done off road and you can't drive it as a daily driver. It's a show/Sunday driver type policy which is fine for me. I hit a...

As long as the paint under it is good there are no issues with painting over it no matter what type of paint you are putting over it. If it's flaking, rusting etc. then yes you have to get those portions off, but there is no reason to go to bare metal if you don't have to.

I went to NAPA and they had a bunch of general fit ones on the shelf. They were the 19 inch for a Dodge. Then I went to ACE and bought a few different spacers and some grade 8 bolts. Had to do a little grinding on the spacers to get them just right but it works well. Check out pg 4 on my...

As was said heat is your friend. I used a propane torch with some Harbor Freight picks. And respirator. The torch burned out most of it.
