It fit in the garage but jacking it up to work was another story. ;)

Update: Got the rear add a leafs (I know I know) in a week or so ago. One degree shim broke when it hit the floor (showed signs of rust in crack) so after replacing it and installing some 5150 Bilsteins it is good.....enough.

Cycled the front last week and the guy who built the buckets didn't do math very well. The 10" Fox's only had 3.5" shaft showing at ride height. The coil binds on droop about 3" from ride height so back to my buddys house today and we re-did the upper mounts. Pushed them up to give me 6" shock shaft at ride height. Will probably still have to adjust bumps but its an improvement. After that, took it for alignment and all is good!!! No more pulling to the left.

Baja ready!!!!!

Yes, picking my son up. He lives on Hess/Utica and was at my buddys house off Yorktown before that.

Thats too funny. You should have came over and said whats up. haha

We left and realized he forgot to leave the child support check so we had to back up and drop it off. I was checking out the cars you guys were working on/pushing. Figured you were chevy (Nova and Truck) guys and didn't think about getting out.

Normally I would have, but with how the weather was and your Bronco still running I didn't want to bother you.

I'm actually an everything kinda guy, I grew up with my Dad racing cars and racing bikes on the weekend, so I got the best of both worlds. I have plans on building a Bronco but decided to build a Sport Trac right now, once that's done I'm planning a mild Bronco build

Is that your build thread on RDC? If it is, please post pics here, that thing is just way to cool!

Sure is. I didn't know if anyone here would want to see it.

I made a thread here real quick.

Not a super update but got my rear dust light mounted. I still need to figure out which way I want to wire it up but its installed (been sitting on it for over a year). Picked up the Yellow filter for $6.99 on polyperformance. I was worried about the bumper tube blocking it but I set the light to a flood type pattern and I think it will work fine and is up enough that it should be safe for "most" of what I do.

While we're on updates, my wife got me some amber filters for the front lights for Valentines Day and I am in the middle of converting them to HID (using D1S bulbs/ballats like lightforce uses).

So, the HID conversion is done (THANKS Tony!!) and I ended up going a couple routes with the conversion. I have the D1S bulbs/ballasts in the middle two but ran Tony's HID kit for the outers. I am really happy with how they turned out because every one says they can't be converted. I even retained internal ballasts (no cutting or drilling) on all the lights so my light bar is still only four wires for power. I attached a crappy cell phone video to youtube too.
