How kid friendly is this ride going to be. I'm bringing my 7 and 4 year daughters along too. It rained us out Monday to go fishing so they want to ride in the Bronco this weekend.

Progress!! Huge thanks to Blair and Gary, they busted their butts wrenching tonight to get me going. I was on kid duty, so I wasn't much help other than gopher.

Accomplished tonight:
Power steering plumbed
Vacuum lines plumbed
TDC and Distributor stabbed
Oil pump primed(just before we realized I had not put the filter on)
Upper radiator hose found, and its perfect!
Bellhousing bolts torqued
PCV plumbed
Alternator wired

Still to do:
Oil dip stick and oil
Lower radiator hose
Air filter
T-Case gear oil
Transmission fluid
Plug wires
Power steering fluid
Hose clamps
Battery tray and battery
Load iphone with music

Hey Ford Man, You think you could get Miguel to come over to the parking lot and weld my trans. cross member......he does pretty good repairs there! LOL....I have not fixed it yet. Do you think I could just ride with someone?.?.? Maybe Foamy..well Mrs. Foamy may be a passenger....maybe I could just ride in the back!

If i get the trail tires your welcome to hop onboard.

Hey Thanks Rev.....I was just trying to get a rise out of 'Pointer....to no avail... but I have not bolted in the new tran X Member yet. I did finish welding it up about an hour ago, put it in the blast cabinet, cleaned it , and painted it ...
Maybe I can bolt it on tomorrow!:p:-[:p

I found an air cleaner that should work and I have the set of plug wires you can use. Should have the dipstick & tube by lunch time.

What are the chances you could get off work early today? I'll take off work too if you want to start early.

OK so sitting in the campground had to take care of a few minor issues with the Bronco, while doing that I noticed the rollcage looked like crap, Spraybomb later and all is good!

lonesouth, If you can get up this way tonight you can park the Bronco out here at Chehaw Auto and we will get er done!

Oh yeah, I think we have another Bronco guy coming from Tally but his Bronco isn't ready yet so he's bringing his CJ. I think he is going to bring his kid also.

Looks great!

If timing(not engine timing) were different, we'd be up there tonight, but the star colluded against us and we can't get away till tomorrow morning. Looks like we'll be headed out at 7am with Gary, and will probably come back home after dinner. Wish it were different, but life is calling.
