Re: Tio Vics Ride #2 codename Jelly 52
Not sure if you guys figured out your visor issue, we got rid of visors and tint strips and started using black vinyl. It works great.
Just an idea for you guys

On a recomendation from Tom, vic took his Bronco to MIT 4x4 in El Cajon for some minor work that needed to be done (http://www.mit4x4.com/). The work order consisted of:
*Replace Diff Cover with blingy Ford Racing Cover
*Weld on Truss
*Service leaf springs
*Replace Bushings on shackles
While dissasembling the axle to weld on the truss, it was noted that Vic's axle was slightly bent, between the pumkin and the leaf spring pad, approx 1/8" on the passenger side, so they proceeded to straighten for Vic, and weld the trus on once straightened (then chck again). These guys did fantastic work, Vic was very pleased. It was reasonably priced and they knocked it all out for him in a day and half.
