A few updates:
The bad:
My JL Audio 500/5 went south, apparently the power source for the subwoofer channels dies, not bad though, I have owned the amplifier for over 4 years, and have worked it hard for every ounce of the four years. The good news, I called JL Audio and they have an awesome out of warranty repair policy, $180 flat fee for full restoration, if it is beyond restoraton, it gets replaced with a brand new refurbished model (same model) and either way get a 2 year warranty that starts over. I am happy with that, afterall, it was a $600 amp in its time. (now you can find them for around $400 on ebay)

The good, picked up a K&N Sock for my air filter, Yikes recomended when he picked one up for his... and after cleaning my K&N last weekend, it was clearly necessary.


Also, got this deep tranny pan:

Very nice truck. What stroke shock did Mark end up going with? Any plans in the future for a cage?

Hey Tony, maybe a small thread in "non broncos" for your old XJ so people can see what you have in mind for your Bronco. Then link it here.

12" front and back.... and yes, it will eventually get caged. I say now that it will be a user friendly cage, but then again, when I owned my Jeep Cherokee, I used to say it would only get a 3" lift and 31" tires.. and this is what it looked like when I sold it.

Back to the Bronco.....

took her to the new years race...... had a blast, an was fortunate to have some time to do some hot laps with Joel from Bilstein. He swaped in my resivoirs on the coilovers for some that have a custom valve in them (think blackhawk) and we played a little with the Nitrogen pressure, she rides a ton nicer!!

Chris and Yikes, you will like it, no more sway on the freeway.

Also managed to find a crack in the EGR tube, I thought it was a leaky manifold again, but turns out its the EGR, time for a replacement.

Hey Jer,
Looking forward to you coming back. We should party at the oraf 500 for you.

Your brother and I went out for the new years dash and were running around on some of the whooped out roads in plaster city. Good times! I think he was impressed with the Bronco.
