well today i got a few more of the loose end buttoned up, not really any more pics besides the shifter and floor plate.


I still need to figure out what i am going to do to cover up the hole that is in the floor now. need to search the junk yards around the area to find the correct floor plate and shift boots.

That's the plan.

The gearing is perfect, even with the 4.0 tranny.

Yeah, Hahn and I talked about that today. The stock rear bumper looks like crap. A "matching" rear bumper would be very nice, also it would be nice to have a rear recovery point.

The front bumper needs to be re-painted, it has been neglected and is looking a bit sad. And the weather has been getting better so i should be able to paint the bronco soon.

Yeah we got the camber perfect after a few tries then set the toe, then drove it and it pulled to the right pretty bad, so we added some positive caster to the right side then screwed up the camber, messed with it a few more times and was able to get it almost dead nuts, still pulls a C-hair to the right but not dangerously and the camber is a C-hair positive but not enough to hurt.

yeah the first time we set the camber is the caster was so far out of whack it was terrifying to drive

Well drove it to work today, still pulls right a bit and the brakes are still spongy. Other then that runs great. Tires ride nice for not being balanced, i was surprised
