Thanks Viperwolf, that is just what I was wondering.

I grabbed a SD computer at the junk yard, my Carquest said they will take it as a core. So my total cost for a rebuilt one will be about $100.00 (I get our dealership's price discount). That is the route I was going to take. Who make aftermarket CPUs?

I put the hard top back on. Driving my grand daughter to school in the mornings was getting a bit too cold.

Finished DVD # 3 of the engine building series. I'm a pro now;)

Swapped the correct speedo gear onto the speedometer cable. No more doing math in my head!

Is it sad when a new set of ARP head bolts arrives in the mail and I get excited? My wife rolled her eyes:)

Took a sander to the body, polished 1 rim and called it a day!

That is ONE nice looking rim!!;)

Got a couple small "character marks" on the left rear quarter and a whole lot of fun too

Lots of love taps to the rear bumper, several diff shots, and my steering is off center now. Yes, sweeeeeeeet day yesterday!

Lost about a gallon of capacity in my gas tank.....and had an AWESOME time doing it

My tierod came out of the trail ride straighter than it was when it went into it.

I watched you hit it several times on the last big obstacle. Then a somewhat large rock rolled into it, just for good measure. I thought for sure your tie rod was a gonner.

Got a new zinger in the chrome trim on the tailgate from the HiLift retaining wingnut on spare tire carrier (thanks to the waterfall). Got some rock rash on the drivers lower door hinge, several new zingers in the bumpers and both diffs too. Had fun doing all of it too. Oh and a noisy transmission pump when standing the Bronco up at a 30+ degree angle. Seems they protest when low on fluid. Go figure, just when it quits leaking too.

I couldn't see the rock but I did see everyone's eyes following it.

New EFI motor is running...final tuning today

I love getting boxes from Wild Horse

Bolted up the block to the stand mount.....just need a neighbor to help me huff it on there now. Next paint.

Not the bronco but since I was actually home before dark I tore into the ferd to put in the new glow plugs. Got the driver side tore down and ready. Just need to un screw the plugs and put the new ones in. Not bad for 20 minutes of work.

Spent about 7 hours today discovering how much easier the Ford 9" is to disassemble than to swap out the rear diff on the Subaru.

Got all 8 glow plugs changed today. Also put in my new stancor GPR. But I did find something interesting. I didnt need to put in new glow plugs. The plug on the driver side under the valve cover was about to fall off. Once I noticed that the glow plugs ohm'd out within spec. But I changed them anyways.

Mounted my gun rack. I'm ready to go Saturday.


Yeah, my roof is a mess, I had to reweld the bows to the roof skin. The big black thing is a q-pad to help quiet the top, it really "tin canned" on me after I welded the skin to the bows. But it was worth it, the skin banging on the bows was terrible. I'll cover it all up someday, yeah someday.

Chad

Nothing, unfortunately. Although I did tool around with my son and his toddler seat strapped into the front passenger seat. Anyone else get looks from others....like they can't even believe that is legal?

grind and weld. Maybe tomorrow will be cut some.

Got the heater upgrade finished today and a few other odds and ends. I also received the new u-joints for both drive shafts which should be in next week. I am trying to get everything put together for hunting in November. Jayson

Hauled it back home, put battery charger on it, need a set of points and decide whats next.

First day I didn't drive it in months.

Tranny was pulled and picked up for it to be "ViperBuilt"

Got the re-worked driveshafts installed after new parts and drove it. All seems well for know. I plan to drive it for the next week and if all goes well then off to hunt camp. JP
