What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[Staticline40]

Took the XJ and the kids and met up with a buddy (Pro4X Frontier) in the Ouachita National Forest after his return from a deployment and spent 4 days/nights tooling around and camping in different spots every night.

Old Fire Tower

Little Missouri Falls

Awesome

I sold it. Truck prices are so crazy right now, I sold my 2500 diesel back to the dealer after 50k miles of driving for $4000 more than I paid for it. I bought an AWD Chevy Express van with what was left over and am making an off roadish camper van.

That's going to be a fun project! I watch so many van conversions, now I want one, but wouldn't trade my 02, which is not worth much.

Got my bronco running for the first time in a long time. Parked it a while back because it is losing oil pressure. The wife changed my mind for me because she wants to drive it. So until this fall when the 12 valve swap starts, she can drive it until it’s internals are on the ground. New battery and some gas in the carb and it fired right up.

Are you on FSB?

I’ve been here before as well. Drilling and tapping was my plan “Y”... plan “Z” was to remove the intake manifold and hope no more bolts broke... I’m hoping and praying that I have the water leak and over heating problems fixed now.

No this forum is pretty much the only form of social media I have.

Having Octane Series bumper installed. Because this is America. .

I do like the look of this one a lot but, but the main motivation is I wanted the lights integrated nicely into the bumper.

Well that did the trick... no more leak... now to see if that fixed the original problem of overheating.

I highly recommend you check out Fullsizedbronco.com they are a heap of information for the 1978-1996 Broncos. Great group of people over there and the community is just like here.

Did a big day tour of The Black Rock!

Removed the old peeling decals and replaced them with more fitting ones for the military heritage. They also match the colour of the rims quite well.

Added more sand to the collection inside the truck

Had a great run up Jawbone Canyon from the Mojave desert to the Sequioa Forest for a nice lunch. Then back down the hill to Lake Isabella. About 50 miles on some really nice trails. Absolutely beautiful views and nature was friendly, squirels and deer all over.

Made a rack to carry my boom stick.

You, and others who are messing with frozen/stuck bolts and end up with snapped bolts at times, may find this vid helpful:

I've used the technique on stuck parts and can vouch for it's effectiveness.

Hadn’t been able to take my FJ out for a bit and my gf had never seen the base set up on it so we took it out and expanded everything. I regret it because now she keeps demanding that we take it out every day possible.

and this is a problem?

Today's work was swapping the rear coils (again, 5th time... ugh.) from a metal cloak 3.5 to a 4.5 due to me killing the other set in like 9mo.


Planning how to attack this...



dead 3.5 springs vs not dead 4.5 springs



mocking up the new perches...


new springs and perches in...




Final results...
