What have you done to your Bronco today?

[willtel]

I installed my new Wild Horses U bolts and springs plates today. My old ones were flopping around on the drivers side and I couldn't tighten them since they were rusted. Once I got the new ones hand tight I noticed that the axle had shifted to the rear and wasn't sitting square. I ended up using a Hi-Lift jack to hold the Bronco up by the bumper and letting the rear end droop down. Then I ran my winch cable under the frame and pulled the axle forward into the correct position by a tow strap wrapped around the brake drum. It was a little sketchy but it worked.

Pro-tip: If you paint your own Bronco bend over and make sure you paint the bottom of the rocker panels...

Was gonna drive it to a community theatre play and before I even hit the starter I noticed the brake pedal went way too far down
Had to drive the expedition instead
