Looks nice Matt.

On Tuesday I finally changed my leaking intake gaskets and injectors. I'm surprised it made it to Moab and back as bad as the gaskets were. Took it for a quick spin around town on Wednesday morning, put it to bed and hit the road.

Drove mine the last 2 days. Never hit the hail but did hit rain. Glad i did the wiper upgrade.

Pulled the old front axle apart and setup a jig for reaming the knuckles for high steer.

Ordered the first of many parts for the 74. Ordered up the BC throttle cable and kickdown set-up. It's been needed for many many years.

Installed a new clutch and seal kit on the NP435 and D20 transfer case.

My Bronco was getting 30MPG....in leaking transfer case oil.


J.E.

Did a revision on the old Drum brakes!

Took the drill and spinning wire wheel to ALL the parts...(that no one will ever see!!!)

I replaced all 4 corners with new:

Wheel Cylinders
Brake Pads
Rt/Lt Rear Hard lines
Rt/Lt Front Hard lines, and hoses
Brake Master Cylinder
Hard lines down from MC
and Bled the system

I have brakes!!!

Installed new WH stock height coils and put some new to me hubcaps on.

We need that like button dude! Looks good!

Amazing what a set of hubcaps will do.

Looks like a matchbox toy next to your truck, love it.

That rocks man. I'm a sucker for Bronco hubcaps.

My wife helped me get my Radius arms installed correctly - the threaded ends are nice and level now. Previously they were about 2.5 " off - that would have been a lot of bronco lean. Should be a rolling chassis by the weekend! And then if I can get some of my friends time we will drop the engine, tranny , exhaust, brake and fuel lines etc.. Can't wait!!!

Got my new harness today. Not so painless when the check had to be written......

installed the BC throttle cable kit. Need to finish the kick down cable and start the rear tank install.

My wonderful wife helped me get my chassis rolling today!

Need a like button for that, looks great!

Nice & clean looking. Keep updating!

Looks great, I'm digging some of the mods I see, plating for the steering box area and different style rear shock mounts.

Kinder, you have a keen eye! Although the rear shocks are stock 66 on the early early ones. Not sure why they changed mid course. I am looking forward to the power steering.

Picked up the D44 with ARB 4:56 gears from Digger and met the new member Jesse. He's a cool dude and very knowledgable. Looking forward to getting it installed and hanging out with a new brother.

Finished the BC cable install. Major improvement over the stock bellcrank system. Nice having a kickdown that works now. Maybe I'll get around to the gastank install this week.

Dropped the driveshafts and BC 2:1 exhaust out of the way.

Put a few things up today. Thanks 75DBE and Sean for the help.

Dude give me a call next time you need help

They were already here dropping off Christine (my new name for Sean's race car after it decided to move 5' on it's own today).

Lol! Ok just checking

Part 2
Pulled the shifter from the T case and shift linkage from the transmission. Removed the transmission to bellhousing bolts. Loosened the intermediate adapter to transmission bolts. Loosened the transfer case crossmember to frame bolts.

The auto swap is going very slow but at least I know where all of my tools are and it doesn't look like someone blew a car up in the garage.

The demons have been exorcised. To say the clutch was toast would be an understatement. I'll take shots tomorrow when the bellhousing and remaining manual parts come off. But a little teaser: throw out bearings should probably not have giant chunks missing out of them and blue tempered steel.

So.... Tell me how the chainsaw helped to pull the trans, don't keep those nuggets to yourself!

It provided motivation. Finish the transmission. Get back to fire mitigation.
