Do it! I know it's not the same model as your bronco, but I think it'd be a great mod.

I'm sorry. I told him i could put it at Travis' house and it would be out of the way but he said that it was fine to put it there. If he had a problem with it then he should have told me.
I just want to move it to the back yard. Lighten up, Fracis.

Moving talk about the truck in here. I'm not selling it or buying anything else, I like my truck too much, and talk is cheaper than getting a trail rig and deciding that was a bad idea later on down the road. Nothing is wrong with this truck, it may look rough but it's never left me stranded anywhere and I just wanted to make sure that if I started using this as a trail rig as well, that it would continue to be reliable.

I think as long as you reserve your self to the fact that '**** breaks' and you will have to fix those things, you will be fine. If you don't want to work on it (or pay/beg to have someone do it for you), then it is a VERY bad idea. Lots of folks trailed their DD, but they also seemed to have to do a ton of wrenching and sourcing JY spare parts to keep them running. I know I am one of the worst examples in the club for stuff like this, but you can see the extremes I have had to take my truck to for me to feel that it will be reliable on the trail enough that I will be able to drive it back on the trailer at the end of the weekend. With a little smarts on the trail, and plenty of preparation before hand (parts/tools/PMCS) you will be just fine I believe.
Do you have a reliable temp gauge for your transmission? This is the first step in maintaining an auto. Waiting till it says it's too hot by puking half the fluid out of a seal/weep hole is not the desired method to keeping the temp in check. In stockish form, if it's getting hot just driving 70 down the highway, then you have enough problems that a bigger cooler and deeper pan will solve.
My bitch better have my money...
Through rain, sleet, or snow...
My whore better have my money...
Not half, not some, but all my cash...
'Cause if she don't,
I'm gonna put my foot in her ass.
Wrenching I don't mind at all, I've rebuilt pretty much everything on my Mustang and done a fair amount of work on my truck. I'm definitely not scared to tear into something to fix it. And if something breaks, then it can sit in Lot 40 until I can fix it, as long as I can go home at the end of the semester, I live on campus so it's not that big of a deal for it to sit a while.
I don't have a trans temp gauge on it yet but that's one of the things I'm going to do as soon as I get a paycheck. I think the only reason the first transmission went out was because I was just wailing on it at soggy bottom. That's when I first noticed the problems. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this one and not let it get hot. That is until I put a stick shift in.

I think that's why my trans is slipping so much now.
Between TAMOR and your fellow CT's I dont see you having too much trouble getting a ride to the parts store if your **** breaks down in town. ****ing **** up on a trip would require a little more preparation on your part, such as sourcing some basic spare parts like u-joints, axle shafts and driveshafts to take with you to make sure you can get home. The biggest requirement to get **** fixed (especially in a hurry, i.e. when returning from a trip) is MONEY. Set aside a decent chunk of change to be your emergency fix-it fund. Your parents will lose patience with your wheelin habbit prety quickly if you have to call them to borrow money after every trip. Do not use this fund for upgrades or anything that isnt immediately necessary to get home.

repairs or beer. It's okay to spend the emergency fund on beer
(hey you, yeah you with the logic over there, what are you doing here? Get out!)
Good advice. How did this work out for you?
