Or you could put in a bus heater box, worked for me :lol:

I actuly responded to fire dept call in the middle of winter once, on my cb750. In turn out gear. :lol: I know what you mean, cold sucks.
But hey, at least its not snowing Big Grin
How does it handle at highway speeds?
Brakes dialed in?

it drove great. drove straight!. and stop on a dime-in a straight line. Once I got it up to 70mph or over it started to shimmy(tires). It wasn't too bad as for the cold...69bronco hooked me up with some nice gloves-that I drove home with...and now I'm typing with my fingers :lol: . Great trip home, so good...that 1/2 way home, I turned around and took another route home-20 mins out of the way 8)

Well, PSC finally finished the new steering box. I showed up yesterday..so now I just need to remove to other one, install the new one,run the lines, mount the ram, and bleed it all out. I'll try to take some ics,Chuck

Hey, remember that bleeding procedure I showed you in URE. Be sure to do that before you run the pump. Hope it all works, we do expect pics Big Grin

well, I finally got the 1-piece inserts and the Galen 2-piece doors installed. I was even able to get the inserts painted. The pass side turned out pretty good, however the driver side has a touch of orange peel...I didn't realize it but, the dang compressor breaker was tripped and I didn't notice the that it never turned on...so I lost alot of pressure. So thats why i screwed up the driver side-oh well.

here's a few poser pics.

You have the same suspension set up as when you ran the EB width axles, correct? The full widths really add to the flex.
