Lmao!!! It would be the best cruise and it could be possible just because of some of the chicks I know lol but I don't think police and some drivers would appreciate that

The police would join in and the other drivers can look the other way.

Tomorrow I'll check the pilot bearing on the driver's side on the TTB. There is some noise from that spot and I can feel some grinding, so I think it's either gone or the spindle nut got loose somehow.

Hey, they aren't legal here either.... They can wear underwear, even pasties but no nudies. But just like most traffic laws, these regulations are broken... It was legal till some soccer moms were complaining because their kids could see some *****. I mean, seriously. They are going to see them and more when they take health class, I don't see the big deal. But, it isn't my choice. If I want a sexy mostly nude chick to serve me coffee that I probably won't drink, I will just get a girlfriend. That way I can get a sandwich too!

Good luck Encho, hopefully the spindle is alright. This seems to be happening quite often right? I wonder if there is a fix for it like, using different spindle nuts or maybe a light thread locker or something.

Great news Grey, let's hope it goes without events.

Dylan, I don't think that's a problem with these, just time and wear.

Well today I fired the old beasty up. My bronco is no longer a stump virgin, my neighbor had a small stump in his grass that he wanted removed so we roped a chain around it, then around my hitch tubing, and I just pulled the sucker up and out. I thought it was pretty darn cool even it it's only a small stump. I didn't get pictures or anything but it was cool. And it was nice to drive it again. I forgot how easy it was to drive after being in that vw for so long.

My 93 has the same dual shock setup as yours. They are the black Monroe Sensatracs. I guess my question is what do you think the shelf life of these shocks are. They look brand new....but my Bronco sat for probably 2 years. They aren't leaking but do you think they would go bad just sitting?? I don't know at what point in time they were installed. Let 'em ride???? (If it ain't broke....don't fix it!)
