    It was $5 at the army supply place. Cut two big holes and some the old boat cupholders. The cooler fits perfectly there too.

    No pics, but Rusty put new exhaust on it today. Cut the cat out and replaced the delta 40 with a 40 series. It sounds better, but only a little bit louder, which is good.

    Sky tie rod should go on this weekend.

    IF when I put it in park, it sometimes tends to keep rolling, is that a problem external to the trans? It did it before the trans rebuild a few months ago and just noticed it after having to block the tires on the trailer when I was loading it today.

    Like, rolling down the street/trailer/trail. It won't ALWAYS hold. Sometimes it will hold fine. It almost seems like a linkage issue, not allowing the lever to fully engage park.

    Id check the linkage. or it may be a spawl in the transmission that holds the linkage to the park position.

    if it worked fine before I would bet on the linkage needing to be adjusted. Otherwise the rebuilder could have left out part of the parking gear mechanism. If its not the linkage you could probably just drop the t-case and get to what you need with the trans in the truck

    Tunes are now better than they have ever been. I ditched the old cheesy Pioneer for a new cheesy Pioneer. This one has and aux. output so Bronco is now iPod compatible I also bought some 5.25" speakers that will be mounted in a 6" PVC cap. Even without having the speakers mounted up yet, it sounds pretty good for what it is. I can hear the Kid Rock blaring down the trail already. Pics of that probably this weekend.

    Big "vendor" thumbs up for Audio Video. Brandon always gets me what I need for a great price. Really nice guy and he knows his car audio.

    I got the new tie rod today. I think it is 1.25". When I mount it ontop of the knuckle, there is maybe 1/8" clearance between it and the spring. Roll with it? I dunno, I should probably just mount it under.

    And just to be sure, it should go.....bolt head, misalignment bushing, heim, misalignment busing, knuckle, washer, nut.?????

    how ghetto is it that I will now be running heims on the tie rod and TREs on the drag link?

    You may be able to chunk the misalignment bushings to get some more clearance. Just bolt it on without them and turn the wheels to see if it hits. A tie rod doesn't get much misalignment. I'm not sure if I have them on the tie rod on jeep or not.

    yes.


    not ghetto. tre's have more misalignment capability. this is a pretty common combo i think.

    I think I finally figured out what the loud clacking sound from the motor was. I think I am running the wrong crank pulley, which causes the belt to jump back and forth, which pisses off the tensioner, which causes something inside it to pop.

    The radiator is toast from the several minivan collisions and I haven't torn into the hubs yet to see what the problem was. I actually had to winch the Warn hub out of the axle to be able to spin the tire and get it on the trailer.

    I will probably have to clean for several days before I can even start repairing various items.

    The PVC speaker "boxes" worked great. The Ipod got a little muddy, but that was the only issue.

    Still down for Clayton, hopefully with have bumpers.
