First Test Run-with pics

[Myllo73]

Today I took my 73 out for the first time since having the gears changed in the front end and a locker added, and rebuilt the transfer case. The locker sure does help it climb a lot better. It was helping in the mud as well, until I slid and headed for a fallen tree. After drying out the distributor it was time to take another shot of getting out, which didn't happen. I did the best I could. Had to get a helpful tug from my Dad's 79 Cherokee.

Funny note.. I was sitting on top off the roof with my feet on the hood when 6 people on horseback rode by. The chuckled and asked if I had help on the way, after telling them I did a man replied, "I hope the rest of your day goes better!" My answer was that my day was going fine, things happen. I liked my horse a lot more than theirs though.

I know everyone likes pics so I took what I could with my phone...I also didn't get wet during this.

Ya, 15 x 10's, and I'll be doing some service. Funny thing about the paint, the previous owner didn't have the top and doors on it when I bought it and said that it hadn't been in the rain since it was painted. I installed the top, doors, and weatherstripping and parked it outside to get rained on. It's not a top dollar paint job and I didn't buy it to just look at.

Nice EB. I like the cherokee too. Those full size 2 doors were awsome for a Jeep!

On Saturday I was checking to see if I bent something with the twin stick shifters. They're new to me, so I have some getting used to knowing for sure they are engaged or not. I didn't bend anything, but the bolt holding them to the mounting block loosened up, I know I tightened it during install. I plan on going back and putting on some locktight. Anyways, I know I was in 4 hi when entering the hole, but in working to get out I'm not sure I didn't disengage the frontend since it wasn't turning when I was moving forward, should've checked then, but if that's the case I'm pretty impressed with how my Bronco did in 2wd.
