Re: Ryan's '96

Re: Ryan's '96
Its been a great trip home and i swear ive spent half of my RnR in the Bronco but its been worth every second! Next on the to do list is bumpers and maybe some of those fancy BajaHID.com projector headlights, im sooo dissapointed with the regular HID light pattern in the stock housings...

Re: Ryan's '96
Went out sunday for a little wheelin and to shake down the new bolt in stub shaft and new trans overhaul. Had alot of fun but noticed the steering when in 4x4 feels alot like when the the front locker is engaged even when its not.... New trans did well, no issues there and no overheating issues with the new coolant overflow plug i got from a vender on FSB. I got some gopro footage also but im still editing it down.

That last one with the 3 onboard passes was all i had. the rest of the day was shooting guns and crawlin around in the canyons of the creek.. I just went through all the the other footage but its nothing impressive. Pretty fun Sunday though, nothing broke and we had alot of fun.

Re: Ryan's '96
So i ordered up a new yoke and pinion seal from Yukon due to the recurring leak ive had out of my 14bolt. I had the best of intentions to get everything installed this morning and that damn pinion nut made me its bitch... Im a pretty strong guy but that thing called me a pussy and kicked me in the balls! I dont have an air impact or a long enough breaker bar to even budge the thing. So its off to the diff shop i go.

Re: Ryan's '96
Ive got set that I won at last years bajaHID run. Not sure if they are the EB ones but free autofab stuff is always good!
