I'm finally putting a trans in the ranger. Lol. It locked up on Friday after getting stuck in 2nd and 4th at the same time.

Damn! What do you do with it stuck in two gears....!!!

Put it in neutral and then it's just in one. I drove it to the shop in 4th... Luckily it has enough power to do that. The fluid that came out was destroyed, along with the throw out bearing. Steve is a nice guy, offered to buy it back for what I payed for it.

New trans is in and nice and quiet now. It needs a shifter bushing but that can be installed from the hole in the floor. I've got to order a bunch of those, they don't last long.

I may have to get rid of this thing due to the high cost of ownership, I've spent like $1300 on it including the initial cost.

The BajaF250 is ready to go! Finally!!!

Rick, how is the Bronco coming along?

Well I busted my hump all weekend long and finished the rear suspension, fixed my exhaust problem but my new headers never showed up so it looks like I'll have to run with a crack in one of them. The new rear springs had the back sitting a little high even when loaded with gear so I dug out my old coils from the first set up and compared them too the current set and sure enough they were sacked out like the rear springs were so I swaped them in. The Bronco now sits pretty level. Had to pull off the pasengers side coil bucket for a crack repair in the shock mount. I hope to get it back on and on the ground tonight.

Somehow King lost my shocks that Don dropped off a couple of weeks ago but they found them and I'll pick them up Thursday on my way down and I'll bolt them on at Casa Webber.

I'm so looking forward to this trip. See ya in 4 days.

Awesome Rick!! Glad you pulled it off!

[philofab]

Did you add some valving to your front shocks?

[ChaseTruck754]

I gave the Taco it's semi annual wash and vacuum so I could please the teflon Don's around here, but alas I'm riding down with Matt so no one will even see it - haha

Rick,
That's fantastic! Got the garage to mount the shocks and the N2 to fill 'em!

[yikes]

Woohoooo!!!

[flyinbronco]

Did you add some valving to your front shocks?

Yes King is installing new seals, oil and revalving the fronts.


I'm excited to see how she works. The poor girl really needed some love. I can't believe how sacked out she was. It was so gradule over time I never really noticed it. She should be better than ever now.

[yikes]

OK. I'm leaving tonight. Tired of waiting. See you guys there!

Eff it, me too Brian, let's go.

[ChaseTruck754]

Looks like Matt & I will be headed down a bit later. I guess I may have to print the itinerary to see where we may catch you guys...

On a side note - Rick, Andy has your hunk of bed floor from that '87 I cut up so he can give it to you when you guys meet up at Tom's place.

[philofab]
