Mine developed a brake leak today. An o ring on the prop valve. I pulled it off and retightened it. It doesn’t look to have room to squeeze out like it was when I found it. I guess we’ll see how it goes tomorrow morning. I’m whooped.

Still gotta pack something resembling clothing and dad’s got some work to do in the morning to get his hired hand something to do tomorrow afternoon and then hopefully we’ll be loading and heading out.

Did you bench bleed the MC? And have you bled at all the the upstream joints? Air in lines have a way of getting stuckjunctions.

Yep, bench bled MC. Bled all points and was not getting any air anywhere. Couldn't figure it out. Was only getting a little pedal about an inch off the floor. I decided to put tires back on and give it a try. Now I feel pretty stupid. Brakes worked great. I was expecting a high full pedal like the old system. I guess that's not the case with this system.

I have to pack some cloths and load up tools, Bronco, etc. Hope to be on the road before noon. That will put me in HS before dark. I hope.

Good to hear. Mine was kinda the opposite. Pedal moved about an inch or two and hard three inches from the floor. Last night it went nearly to the floor before getting hard.

[Fitz24]

Wasn't bad at all till Friday late... Most of day Saturday but we got pics in before it set in later in the day...

Had to load up, tie down in the darn rain

Great times had by all

Enjoyed getting to seek everyone again. It had been too long. Even with several issues (radiator and fuel pump wire) got to get a little wheeling in. Unfortunately, the rain put a hamper on everything. Grabbed an opportunity Saturday morning when rain was lite and loaded up. Decided to head home to MS and see wife and family for a day before heading back to TX for work on Tuesday.

Can't believe I only took a couple pictures.

Rain put a hurt on the group picture. There were a little over 100 Broncos registered from 20 states. We got out and wheeled Saturday and had a good time in the rain. There was more traction than you would have thought.

with so much sharp rock, people underestimate. They expected mud, but there's not a lot of clay to be found at the park to make mud. Lots of sand which water runs right thru and that makes traction. It was definitely fun.

Looks like Bulldozer's green bronco in the group picture. Noticed he hasn't chimed in on here in quite some time. He ok?
