what have you wrenched on your bronco(s) today?
Spent 2.5 hours at Firestone today. The lack of talent we mentioned last night was evident today. Long story short, nothing got done and have to go back Sunday to school these morons on how to properly do their job.

Came home and pulled the driver knuckle off because the "lack of talent" sliced my upper ball joint boot. Just snagged a generic 3/4" boot off the HELP shelf from Advance. It was a bit taller than I would have liked, but it will do the job nonetheless.

Tightened all 10 million header bolts.

Re-gapped plugs to .050"

Found my front right turn bucket has bad contacts. Picked up a pigtail frim Autozone and adapted it to the Bronco bucket. Works great!

Worked a clearance issue with wiper linkage and cover.

Got my alignment done. Wahoo! Riding on rails again.

Been working like mad. Not much time to snap pics or chat.

A few shots of fabbing up a glove box for the stainless dash.

Simple dash design. Nice!

Today I fabbed a panel to protect my OBA manifold in the old aux tank filler neck area from mud, rocks, and debris from tire.

Didn't do much else to the Bronco; was busy doing a lot of overdue mx items on my civic.

Had a few more minutes so I squeezed in another item from my list.

Moved the lever lock from the rear brakes to the front. Just made more sense to have it on the larger calipers. Don't want to pull a Clay on Daniel!

Dumped 15 of my 20 gallons of emergency fuel into the Bronco to "dispose" of it. I treat it for long term storage but 2 years is my limit. Wasn't too happy about dropping $70 on ethanol free gas to refill them though. An ounce of starbrite in each can and good to go for another 2 years.

Replaced my HP fuel pump. Also found my spare was bad. :-( Glad I found it now instead of on the trail.

Made a hi-lift base.
