Ugh, guess I haven't posted anything for a while.
Put some cracked up 35 on the Bronco, I figured they would rub like hell, but they only hit the firewall when turning, 2.5 lift seems to be enough. Rebuilt the carb a while back and that cleared up a lot of issues, drove it for a daily driver for a while.
Took it to Uwharrie and is did amazing, was expecting the carb to cut out at the angles, but it never seemed to be affected by that. The brakes are getting mushy, researching now of what to upgrade to. Hydroboost, F350 Master and Booster? Heard the Astro van has a good Hydro setup that will work, looking at Discs on the 9 inch too, so I need something that will work with that.
Did the 3G upgrade, real easy, took longer than anything figuring out that I did not need a bunch of the original wires anymore.
It is an XLT so I want to get the cruise control working, need to get a quick disconnect for the door wiring and put removable pins in the hinges. Going to take the carpet out soon too.
I like the idea of being able to have the doors and the top on sometimes to make it a rainy day vehicle when I need to, but take them off to go playing and not have to worry about everything getting wet if it does rain.
Took the tank out yesterday after the sloshing at Uwharrie dislodged a bunch of rust. What a mess, there is no cleaning up all the rust and now the tank leaks from pulling it out.
I looked at putting a truck tank in it for extra clearance, but the truck tank is wider and longer even though it is not deep. I would have to move a cross member and slide the tank in from where the bumper bolts in, instead of putting it in from underneath. Probably not doing that, but I do have 2 weeks to think about it (next payday).
I have to get a front bumper for it too, I have the stocker and its in great shape but there is no way to hook to it. What to build something tight in, and has a receiver for my winch.
