Its the power steering pump. I'm pulling A/C off my parts XJ, and will run it with a YJ under dash vent system. I'm not 100% sure it will fit with the NP435 shifter, But I'm gonna do my best to make it work.

I hauled it back. I borrowed a buddy's Big Tex 10,000K car hauler. I traded a fully loaded 94' Eddie Bauer Bronco straight up for it. I hauled my Bronco 500 miles to get this one. The guy lived in Antelope just outside of Sacramento off the I80. I seriously considered running the Rubicon after I picked it yesterday morning, but needed to get home for Father's Day.

Right now I'm working on fitting three seat in it. I'm pretty sure its possible, but need to weld the brackets for the seats in place.

Toyota I think. I have some 2000 Civic SI Seats that may replace them. The Civic seats are fully adjustable, so I can raise and lower the front and rear of the seat cushion. Since one of the gas tanks is under the driver's seat, you pretty much have no room for error there, and the Toy seats sit a little too high. I'm 6'3" so its hard for me to see out the windshield with them too high.

Nice looking rig! Come up to the So Cal Broncos' Big Bear Bronco Bash next weekend and see what it can do!

Can't. I'll be in Palm Springs sweating my arse off! Is Deep Creek open yet? Their building a bridge, and unless you want to run in, and then turn around and come back out the same way its closed.

I've been all over those trails, and really love it up there.

 

[fastmusicfan]

Congrats, man, that's a great looking ride. That color gives me some ideas too. Enjoy!

Nope, as far as I know, still closed. One of our 7 runs combines Dishpan Springs with Holcomb Creek Trail, and yes, the Dishpan Springs portion is a turn around at Deep Creek. That's the best way to run it anyhow, so you get Devils Slide in both directions and there's not much to see on the other side of the creek anyhow.
