Lonesouth's Tan 77

[Justafordguy]

If the pedal is soft but not low I bet it still has air in it somewhere.

so, here is a fun fact. Nearly everything in the rear drums is identical, side to side. The one thing that is specific to each side? The auto adjusters. Put those on the wrong side, and it will auto adjust the rear brakes to nothing.

I found that after I replaced the master cylinder, but as cheap as the MC was, I'll keep it. The old one looked like it may have been leaking into the booster. No a lot, but enough to leave a gunky film.

for nearly 5,000 posts, you would think I should have a nicer bronco.

That's funny Parker! I wish all it took was post to make a nice Bronco! Glad you got your brakes figured out.

now that's funny right there, a real head scratcher for sure. ;D

Not a lot to report of late. I did get the ranger bench seat in, and it does fit the whole family nicely. Good thing it is just kids going in the back, though, the slides and fold aren't all that great.

A few years ago, I ordered a bunch of eurolight spots lights, KC knock offs, and they've been sitting in my shed ever since. I think they even made the move 11 years ago. I came across them last weekend and figured I ought to finally use them. About 4 years ago, I ordered some H3 xenon bulbs for about $35. It only took about 5 minutes to figure out that they fit the housings, and about 10 minutes to wire it all up enough to test. I can say that these things are ridiculously bright, even during warm up. So, that will be the next project.

I think it is time to take the top off. Maybe this weekend.

Hey Parker your bronco did great at sowega but I think you needed them ditch witch tires on that one hill!;D

 

[lonesouth]

Finally got around to mounting my powertank. Its only been two years, but that seems to be in keeping with my style of building.

Also I was able to shorten my flagpole so that it would fit in the garage without hitting, it only took 3 times to get it right. Anyway, I got a 2x3 flag which is a good size for the bronco.

Also, I'm working on adding a pair of 6" xenon spotlights to the front. I'll put some of that in the welding thread.

Parker, did you make it up the one I tried several times? I was running like 36 PSI in my tires. I wish I had aired down because it bothers me I did not make it up that hill!

 

[lonesouth]

I didn't make it up that one. I was running 15psi, and the wife was white knuckled the whole time. If she wasn't in the bronco, I would have hit it harder.

 

[Teal68]

We'll just have to conquer it next time!

 

[Justafordguy]

What hill are you guys talking about? I don't remember any hill being hard to get up, did I miss it?

 

[lonesouth]

The one next to the highway overpass, had to come up it to get down to the concrete spillway.

I guess I would have had to go up it then. I must have picked a better line because I don't remember it being a problem.

It was not too far from us reaching the hole that got you last year. At the bottom of it was a bit of wetness to load up the tires with mud. I had the tires smoking on the roots my last try up while sawing the wheel a bit. Got close but no cigar!

there was another line that most of us took. It was to the right, and Brian had to hold a small tree back

Oh, I remember that one, I was right behind you while you tried a few times. You went another way but I just floored it and made it up.

Parker, when I made it up you where standing at the top and said "you made that look easy".

That makes me feel better....I thought I was the only one that did not make it!
