Well I just sold a car I bought to make some extra $$ so I am building a storage shed to clear out my work area. With the left over i am buying a couple of high $$ items that I will be using soon: AA 4r70w-to-D20 adapter, Baumann Engineering trans controller, a couple of other parts and getting Ryan to make up a harness for my 300 EFI swap. :cool:

Soft doors if they ever arrive! :'( I have a slight bone to pick with one of the vendors, maybe I will pick your brains in a different post about my experience. I wouldnt want to give any bad press without some insight into whether I am being overly reactive.

Other than that, heater...

Can you see a theme, I am tired of freezing my butt off in winter. Spent all last winter with no doors and no heater (EB as my daily driver).

Maybe an oil change.
If it behaves well I will give it a few new scratches from a post Christmas run.

Dual shock mount hoop, and a 2nd set of front shocks

I guess the new Bronco I got Monday will have to be my Christmas gift. Maybe I can help some of you guys out. When I bought this Bronco, the guy had some 3.5" Cage coils and some F-250 shock mounts that were brand new that we threw into the deal. I don't need them so I will put them in the for sale area as soon as I get some time.

Rick
I'm interested in the coils.

I'm hoping to get mine back together soon, then it can sit in the garage for Xmas. Maybe a little scooting around on nice days, but thats it for the Winter. Next Spring I'm wanting to do a power steering swap and upgrade the alternator and, if the budget allows, new flame thrower ignition system. Small steps.

I keep a rather extensive wish list on Excel; updated, with part #'s, descriptions and hyperlinks to the distributor for my Christmas list. I usually get clothes and junk for Christmas, so I have a handy guide for myself when the time comes. %)

It's got parts I might be able to afford, parts I wish I could afford, and in a subsection, there's a parts list to build a ultimate EB buggy ($52k in parts alone :eek: ), a beater crawler, 4 link the rear of mine, and an ultimate daily driver
