Re: 1987 XLT "Bob's White One"
Ok got rid of the old pump and bracket. The later bracket and means of mounting is much cleaner than the stock 1987 stuff and the compressor bracket is gone so I can access the SPOUT much easier.

Alright Bob! I thought you dropped off the earth for a while.
I'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

No, I have been a GFB stalker... Worked alot in the last 3-4 months and finally went hard core over the last week to get this girl to a point I can play and begin some tuning and finish the little punch list stuff I want to complete.

Re: 1987 XLT "Bob's White One"
The Bronco worked really well at Pismo last weekend. I launched it a few times and landing from a couple feet off the ground-launches flat and handles pretty neutral and I am only using about an inch of my bump stop travel and it was also plush in the rough. Goes fast enough for some pucker factor....just gotta set my purse down and stab and steer it.
Fully loaded with camping gear and firewood results in a mean Escondido lean. I may need to pull the Nationals and rework them for more static ride height and a little more GVW.
I will then need to tune the shocks and mount up my rear bumps.
