And still around I believe!

This thing has been leaking oil at rear main and sucking oil into cylinders.

plugs are oily, and oil getting into almost all intake runners, especially # 8 and # 4.

So Phil made a nice baffle for the underside of the intake to try to get it under control.

Replaced rear main too.

How hard was it to replace the rear main seal ?
Did you have to lift the engine up ?

Yes, up and over the core support and grill.

Put in new (to me) seats. Since I knew the Bronco would be down for a bit, I took the opportunity to freshen up the seats without disrupting my daddy/pickup duties. When I got the truck, it had no back seat and Dodge Durango front seats. The 6-way power seat was nice...but the seats were just not my style. And I bought a used back off of CL and it was just good enough to put the kids' seats in it. I got OEM fronts from a guy who, in addition to a classic Bronco, had a couple Porsches and an NSX (are you on here?). I bought the pearl white covers and white armrests from Tom's and handed it all over to my upholstery guy at work. And I had some white door panels that came with the truck...

Before and after rear:

Tried to get a side-by-side with the Durango fronts:

The door panels that came with the truck:

Then I'll call this the "finished" product....but there'll be more to come:

Dang! And we were happy with our 1" we got here in IL!

The last 48 hours has been one of the biggest storms I've seen in 22 years in Gunnison. Probably 2.5'. Another similar storm is forecast for early next week too.

What are your plans for rockers? Cutting them and going sliders? I'm going to wind up chopping TO's rockers and replacing with new metal. I could bring the old ones west in May when I come out for fire training...

It is pretty sweet. Along with all the holes, there's a grid etched into the table top. The guy who's helping me said it's German made and probably the best purchase he's made for the shop (that includes the 4 CNC machines he has).

I'll eventually cut them and put on sliders. But I figured I'd wait and do that with the other tub I have. I'm not sure when that is going to happen, so if you brought your old rockers out, I could probably make use of at least one of them! I would like to repair that side so I can put doors back on, but I think the post is jacked as well. It may be able to be 'adjusted.'

Do we need to send the CCB intervention team out?

Post by **casadejohnson** » Mon Mar 27, 2017 7:52 pm

Pneumatic sheers cut that sheet metal like butter.... won't even scuff the paint.

Can't cut the back and not the front. Go big or go home!
