Up on the hill, you up on skyline or out east end rd? Oh and did you ever go out and see Jessica about that insulation? If not since your in town now I can hook you up freebie.

Heck YEAH!

Hello,
I am at Eielson! Haven't done a lot of trails in this area though. Just really got my truck able to tackle some and I discovered last night I really need a locker! And breakup is most likely several months off. Last year it was about April...... But the aluvial mud here is indeed FUN!!!!!! Though a bit of a pain to make it let go of the truck. That stuff is sticky! Love to meet up with another TRS member!

Hey man, Yeah it would be fun to meet some other TRS members up here. Maybe when the TRS Banner Finally makes it up to AK (if it does) we can all meet up. As for Memebers up in your area I'm not sure who all is there... I think AKBroncoII might be up there again, aswell as STRGVER or however you would spell his name. Then LIMA BEAN is closer to Anchorage as well as me and um... Jeff forgot his online name is also in anchorage somewhere.

Uh,
What's the TRS Banner exactly?:icon_confused:

 

[meskater132]

sorry 6 weeks was way off

ya my bad i guess wishful thinking :icon_bounceblue: . 6 weeks dont even put us through march way off guess. i just bought the lil bronco,i did own a mazda b4000 with no lift and all 235/75/15 terrain tires spent all summer finding trails and having a blast all my friends with trucks moves or turned to want to be import tuners. I want to see what this little bronco can do it has 190,xxx miles and i know im going to need some stuff here soon( the remaining winter) before i hit the mud


tires
clutch/throwout bearing
brakes
heavyduty bumpers
flat black paint
rino line interior

anyone have any suggestions on dropping a new engine in?
i dont want to do the 302 swap was thinking a 4.0 from a explorer will i need a new drive line?

 

[TexCaliBII]

Well,
I you come by Eielson I can show you my 88 BII with the 4.0 and drive line from a 92 Explorer. All dropped right in and took just a little wireing tinkering to have it running like a kitten, until it sits outside in the cold. Still chasing that gremlin before I drive it.

Uh,

Hehe sorry For some reason I thought you were the OP. The TRS banner is something they thought up this summer where there is a banner was sent to the east coast to get signed by memebers and they drive to meet other members who sign it and take it to other memebers, its like a relay race accross the states with a banner.
