Oh yeah. I already have a cart of stuff queued up. Just waiting for the right time to pull the trigger financially. Original plan was to tackle the stuff in my cart for Christmas break but decided I should get that road noise and vibration addressed to avoid higher costs down the road. Probably...

Got the Centurion back!!! Holy crap what a difference in the drive quality! I had just tossed a bunch of it to "old truck" and moved on. I took her all the way up to 75mph a couple times just because I could. It was awesome, I wish you all could have been there. In summary: Driver and...

I got a call from the diesel / Ford shop today. Apparently they went back to the drivetrain shop that repaired the driveshaft and not only did they confirm it was a Ford 10.25", but decoded the markings and confirmed it's a ' 91 so likely original. The shop also went to the effort of sorting...

Appreciate the feedback, but I am honestly out of my element here, and I don't have access to the truck to try and get pictures and compare things. Maybe if the shop gives up and hands it back I can do some of my own sleuthing.

OK, so I've had the truck in the shop since after the new year and this is what I know so far... The noise / vibration issue around 60mph that we as a community believed to be the passenger side hub lockout has been replaced (as has the drivers, since they are sold in pairs) and that issue is...

Apologies for not having any updates, but I haven't had a lot of time to focus on the restoration. I am currently thinking through a vibration / hum that only happens at speeds over 60mph and feels to come from the front passenger side. Previous owner mentioned it, thought it was tire / wheel...

Continuing to work through electrical issues, but making progress! Win's for today: Radio clock backlight restored. New dome light cover (clear / diffused rather than the white opaque default) and brigher LED bulb Liftgate motor replaced and working! Liftgate lock cylinder re-keyed. Upcoming...

Todays update after cleaning a bunch and checking the wiring. Apparently the last owner ran their own wiring from the cab, but it reads 12v at the liftgate motor so it's all good for now. Win's for today: 4/4 Doors trigger the cab light! Found the splice in the line for the liftgate motor...

Thank you once again for the support on my journey! As I did over there, I'll end tonight's note on a positive... After the earlier session with the beast, three of the four doors now activate the cab light! Driver door, I'm coming for you next!

Spoke too soon. This tailgate is from another Bronco according to the previous owner, and I think the motor and / or wiring is just shot. It goes up and down with a lot of assistance, at some stages moves freely for a few inches before not moving at all. Pulled both the left and right track off...

Today was a good day. I got the rear window moving and was able to for the first time open the rear door. Looks like the switch is wired backwards when the rear tailgate was replaced, and everything needs lubricated. Beyond that, the lock cylinder needs replaced / re-keyed to match the rest of...

I'm trying. Or maybe this whole endeavor is trying, hah! It's definitely fun and exciting though. As for that Banks turbo kit... I've been doing some research on the couple of kits out there. Definitely looks like the Banks kit is well loved, but I guess I'm a bit shy because of the...

Ordered a new tach sensor today. My tach gauge is kind of all over the place and not aligned with the sounds I hear when driving the truck. Should be a quick fix, but apparently on these E40D transmissions the sensor can also effect the shift points and cause performance issues etc.. I'll get...

You nailed it. With the rear bench pulled and the mid row flipped forward, you have over 12' of space for lumber or all sorts of shenanigans. Funny enough, it's actually a few inches shorter than my 2020 Ram 1500 crew cab. By the time I get that tire swing mounted up it will be about the same. I...

Phase II of this search and rescue mission is currently under way, here is what has happened so far: Hand stitched leather steering wheel wrap (Thanks to my wife!) Fixed dome light + door activating switches Fixed radio backlight Fixed liftgate window operation from dash, need to fix from key...

Hey folks, This is the beginning of my restoration journey for my new friend, Lycanical. I picked this name because I love werewolves and this vehicle is a bit of a shape-shifter with the ability to remove the top and add/remove rows to suit transportation needs. I have been watching and...

I have had multiple products from DBPower that I have used to start several large V8 motors, and countless other folks in parking lots. I easily could recommend these, and they are pretty compact and multifunction. Just check the size, but this one should be beefy enough. Amazon.com: DBPOWER...

Thanks for the lead! I'll bookmark that site for help also. Currently I'm on fourdoorbronco's and here.

Thanks for the link! I actually grabbed a paper copy that I'm waiting to come in, as well as the the Chilton which already came in. I'll definitely bookmark though.
