Bronco Safari-Whos doing the mad rush?

[Clint]

Im waiting on replacement shafts that Randys screwed up on, they are supposed to be here Wed, then I can finish putting the rear end together and go break in the ring and pinion. Hope to get all loaded and packed on thurs, then chill out on Friday. What will really happen is Ill be running around late friday night getting ready and get no sleep and roll out early sat morning for the trip over %) ;D

Good Luck and have fun...

Just bought a 99 f250 PSD for the new hauler. Bought it thru a local salvage auction,..so I currently have the tranny out to check the clutch and replace the rear main seal.... I still need to get a set tires for it and mount the camper, check wiring for trailer, install radio,....... Nothing like a last minute rush to get the adrenaline flowing. PLus, I am trying to keep tabs on how the Avalanche are playing.... Hoping to have it back on the road tonight and get the tires installed tomorrow. Trailer and camper on Tomorrow night... load up camper Thurs....... Thankfully, the EB is running fine, but still hoping ot have a quick go over to check for any loose nuts/bolts.......

Tow rig's ready. Waiting on new front shafts/u-joints and new steering box to arrive. Should have shafts tomorrow. Still unsure about the box. Gotta install those, hook up and bleed the hydro assist. Hopefully it'll be ready Saturday morning, but if that steering box doesn't come it ain't moving out of the garage.

Geez, Steve, as close to moab as you are, can't you just coast there...??;D
Heck you only need to use the steering a couple of times at the most anyway.... Hope to see you out there Sat.

Just finished the F150 box swap ,, steers heavy ,, it's a long drive ,, might take it out for the trip and use the Bronco box instead ..

I'd better decide soon ....

Is it friday yet ??
