Good job! :cheers:
Got new front grille parts in, so grille is now all comnplete. I am still waiting on UPS to get me my new D60 stub shaft. Also had the front seat 'rebuilt' and ordered some vinyl flooring.
Got a new DD has well, 99 LT 4x4, 45k miles, bling bling.
That'll carry a whole soccer team and a week's worth of groceries!Quote:

It pushes me around, but pulls it well for what it is.
Thanks Brandon.
where did you take it?
Moving it too new house sometime this week. Had to take it to work today though cause I couldn't get the trailer off the ball this morning, but I figured it out.
Well it runs, but not well. It will idle, but not well. It brakes, but not well. A whole lotta bugs to work out.
I think it is running rich. I am getting alot of black smoke and it will die if I let off the gas.
The brakes will stop, but the pedal goes way too far down. I am replacing the MC tonight or tomorrow b/c its old and a neew one was cheap.
Rusty did the exhaust last week as well, so when it will idle, it sounds pretty decent.
I sorta measured for shocks today. At rest, mounting point to mounting point is 21.5" and once flexed, the droppped front side measured 26", while the front compressed side measured about 18" I am happy with the articulation. ANy other numbers I might need when I order shocks???
this page helped me when i was lookin' for shocks.

if you dont wanna spend the $$ for the 9000s, 5000s are the same p/n's w/ a 5 in front.
exactly what i was looking for. Thanks
Well, I have been driving it a little bit.
I bought some shocks. Rancho 5112s. Also had it aligned today and had them install a cam kit to get the camber right. Drives nice and straight.
The interior is done except for a center console. Got a Pioneer CD player and some new Infiniti speakers. SOunds great.
Still needs rear gears/locker. Also needs a good set of 36-38" tires and rims.
Engine is running not so good. I have only driven it maybe 20-30 miles and I think it already drank all 30 gallons. I forgot to have Rusty weld a bung in for an 02 sensor when he did teh exhaust. Maybe not having the O2 sensor that it is suppose to have is causing it to run so rich. The stock oil pressure gauge moves from low to high, low to high alot. Temp is also higher than normal. All bugs that need to be worked out.
Put on a new MC/brake booster,but the brakes need to be bleed one last time(I really hope it is the last time.)
Anyways, we wil be tailgating on it tomorrow on top of WCG.
Gig em and beat the hell outta Wyoming! :gigem:
no Alto?
he does not have 4x4 yet. 4.10s in the rear and 4.88s in the front. would make for some interesting wheelin if he tried though.
I have the most pages, thus my Bronco buildup reigns supreme
I have made zero progress by the way :flipoff2:
picked it up today. THey were coming 10k of sticker on 04s
extended cab
xlt
4x4
5.4
75k warranty
:beer: :beer:
PHAT! Congrats!
that is badass my friend... i want one
sweeeeeet!!!!!
That'll look badass with 35s.
hell yeah it would....the guy behind me has a 4 door version on some 35's. its not frat boy lifted either...just enough to clear the tires and it looks damn good...
I think the 2.5" daystar spacer lift will get it up enough to clear 35s
But damnit, I cant spend money on this, must buy rear gears and detroit for bronco.
found a pic. Those of 35s on 20s.

minus the :rainbow: grill and hood and 20s, it might look good with the 2" spacers, 35s and 17s.
What am I talking about. I am not going ot **** with this truck for a couple years.......months.....weeks :gigem:
Congrads on da new ride!!!!!!!!
Say John, do ya wheelin with warren much?
Yeah, he is going to BMRA next weekend. I'd take the Bronc, but I have not got the rear gears yet. But I might go anyway and tow the "my ****'s broke" trailer up there.

:flipoff2: haha Austin
i never said i was 100% sure. i just know i've seen A LOT of the newer ones w/ 8.8" rearends. i'm going to the dealership today to look at the `05s.
i was just up there... all the 05s had 9.75 and most of the 04s did too... some had 8.8 though
yes...they're still putting 8.8"s in 2005s. they put them in 2004s as well. all disc brakes. Tate...did you see a 2005 w/ a 4.6? trend seems to be that the trucks w/ the 4.6 get the 8.8", and the 5.4 trucks get the 9.75".
pics are rearend then dealer tag that was on it.
tryin to achieve the prestigious "uploads more pics than cooper" award?
If you're not going to post something useful, at least make it funny :rolleyes:
:flipoff2:
all i was looking at were mostly 5.4s and eric how was yours useful or funny?

yes, I am a dumbass and cut on the outsideof the four holes, but I made every thing turn out decent.
Runs better. It was cutting out alot at random, like it was not getting fuel for a second. If I gave it some throttle, it would not do it.
I think I need to adjust or "tighten" up the steering box. IS this possible? The steering linkages are all brand new, the gear box is couple years old and pump is not too old, and it was recently aligned. I can turn the wheel alot left/right with not much turning. Just does not feel tight.
I bought a Detroit gift certifacte for any Detroit for $375, so I am just waiting on my rear locker to get hear. It is usualy about $525 new. :gigem:
i dunno what kind of box you have, but mine has an adjusting stud on top. tighten it very little, then check. and so on. if you get it too tight it'll jerk the steering wheel out of your hand while your driving. i dont know if this is a common occurance, but its the result i got from getting mine too tight on my truck in high school.
