The new weather strip ends from Bronco Graveyard fit like shit. Tons of overmold and untrimmed flashing. Doing to get a really sharp exacto blade and try to make them work.

Does anyone have their original ones in decent shape? I will happily buy them from you.

Good to know I need to redo these on mine and now I know where not to go.... but dont have any to help you out.

There's ONE on ebay, for the drivers side. Contemplating grabbing it just so i can compare and find out what's so different about the JBG ones.

Nos?

Nos?

New Old Stock, essentially Ford parts that are no longer made or typically stocked at dealers.

[Becks_Bronco]

On the table to install tomorrow;

Ford Racing spark plug wires
Motorcraft coil
Motorcraft distributor cap
Motorcraft distributor rotor
Autolite copper spark plugs

The truck runs pretty well as is, but I can replace it for piece of mind, and keep all the old stuff for trail spares. My guess is the plugs have never been changed, or not likely done within the last 100,000 miles at least. I’ll snap some pictures as I pull them out.

I’m a retard. Yes the one on eBay is nos.

My Volant/Donaldson filter came in today. It’s HUGE.


Gross old K&N filter;


K&N vs Donaldson


Donaldson installed. It barely clears the hood, and I think the hood support spring nudges it when fully closed. This thing is truly massive.


Please excuse my disgusting brake booster. I’ll be replacing it at some point.

[Bajaluv]

That’s huge !! My brake booster looks the same, No big deal.

Replaced my plugs, wires, cap, rotor and coil today. Seems to run a smidge smoother, otherwise I don’t notice much of a difference, almost surprising how bad the old cap and rotor look.

Since everything worked fine, I threw it all in the spares box.

Installed the fridge slide today. Took GooseGear’s lead and drilled new holes and hammered in T-nuts from the back side. With the slide bolted down tight, the fridge should stay put pretty well.

I need to figure out a secondary battery location and hook up some stuff so I can leave it on either a trickle charger or solar when the Bronco is parked but I want the fridge to be running.

Check this video at Minute 10:18 maybe is good idea for secondary Battery

They stole that idea from Yikes!

[Etavo]

that proves it's a good idea

I've been thinking between the rear framerails and behind the tank might be a good spot. The rails are approximately 6" tall, theres about 32" between them, and plenty of preexisting holes for a ground.

Could easily fit both batteries there! How exposed would you think they’ll be with Desolate’s rear bumper?

[ChaseTruck754]

Like as much as a hitch is "exposed" is my thought. I'd say make sure to keep the posts up towards the floor if you put them here so as to keep them a bit more protected.

PERFECT. Definitely putting it there. My fab guy could whip that mount up in a jiffy.

this option is on the passenger side, away from the fuel line
