yeah - you've got the ones for the later trucks, not the eb-302 ones. Free is an UNREAL deal on those! Now get them in the truck.

Maintenance is boring, but so is being broken down..... nothing but good stuff going on Ryan making sure she runs tip/top!!

Tell me about it. After the 1000, it was 10 dollars at the quarter machine just to start. Then two or three washes more to get it back to mall crawler status.

Ive had a great week off enjjoying the hell out of my Bronco! Started off with a few days at King Of the Hammers and finished up out at the sand drags at a local MX park. Good times!

Day 1 gopro incab at KOH



Day 2 gopro bodymounted at KOH





Carnage update was just a leaky fitting on my rear axel for the air locker and my AC compressor wont engage. Overall a great week with good friends and lots of dirt!

Sweet! Id like to try that one of these days. It looked like hard pack. Did you use 4 wheel or 2 wheel drive?

It was soft sand but if you keep your tires in the groove and werent the first on the line after they grade it there wasnt much wheel spin. I ran 4low and both axels locked at around 30lbs tire pressure. No power brake just stabbed the gas on green. It was a 300ft drag and id hit 4th gear right as i went through the trap. Good times for sure!

VERY different. The handling is very tight and it goes exactly where you point it. I scared myself the first time i launched fully locked.... it slams you into the seat and just rips up the track.

More maintence update. AC pump wouldnt turn on, did a voltage check at the connector in normal and max modes and had no reading. Fan and thermostat work fine but the selector in the cab wasnt sending power to the compressor, checked the in cab fuse and it was good also. Pulled the ac selector panel out and removed the switch behind the knob. Went to 4 parts stores and struck out... partsgeek.com has one and it should be here early next week.
