Ordered an intank kit for the fuel pump from sunset fab. Will have to order a pump and a hydramat sock for it. Plan to weld in the shock hoops this weekend and measure again for shocks. Get that order out to bilstein. Then pull the radiator and balancer and get that all re done again.

Just FYI- when I went to order my Bilstein shocks, they were on a 5-6 week lead time at best for a number of sizes. The sooner you get your order in, the better.

Perhaps this summer when my bronco is FINALLY in my possession, I can weld in my taller coil towers/shock mounts and get some goodies like that!!

What is the new one out of? What are the differences in specs?

The pump is a ZF. The specs I saw when I was researching it said 4 gpm and 2300 psi. It has been modified to bolt into the explorer bracket and use the explorer reservoir hose. The pulley is another special item.

Want. It'd wake my ram up.

Ok, I would like upgrade kit #1 please.

Post by **Eck** » Sun Apr 30, 2017 6:25 pm

This project took a lot longer than I was hoping. Improvisation was my word of the day. I think it turned out fairly decent considering it really never wanted to fit the entire day.

Post by **rt9** » Sat May 13, 2017 4:56 pm

Started a new project today. This should be nice.

Brought her home!!!

Then I have taken her out for a spin to town a time or two! I need to check to see if any of my indicator lights work as I suspect they don't, but it's good to be driving the ole girl again!!!

Post by **Rox Crusher** » Mon May 29, 2017 6:11 am

That has to feel good !

Post by **ZOSO** » Wed May 31, 2017 6:37 am

Finally got my 14" 7100 short bodies. Custom valved at 345/135D.

Post by **Rox Crusher** » Sat Jun 03, 2017 12:40 pm

Finally got a minute to work on the Bronco

Replaced the stock spare tire mounting hardware with a plate I got from battlement fab.

What a long hot day in the garage. Good news is I'm 95% done. Should fire up mid morning.

I was finally able to get the ugly farmers bumper off the front end of the 66 halfcab. Now all I have to do is box the frame and where my new to me snow plow mounts up. Like usual I'm sure it will turn into a bigger list. But no more ugly farmers bumper.

I installed the wiring for the trailer I bought from Digger. I still need to figure out a power wire to run the trailer battery and refrigerator. Would like to figure a way to run switched power so if I forget to disconnect for a long period of time it won't drain my battery.

I also applied a rubberized liquid roof to the trailer to fix about 40 cracks and dents from the hail storm that hit a month or so ago.

Glad to see you're getting the roof fixed.

Here are a couple examples of automatic relays I was talking about:

Blue Sea Systems 7611:

Sure Power 1315A

Cole Hersee 48530

WirthCo 20092

Of course you can wire in a standard 30amp relay as well and drive it off an ignition feed. Here is a diagram for a dual battery setup. In this case, the 2nd battery is on the trailer with its own fuse already. You would fuse at 20-30 amps and wire with 12ga.
