Well on the road again...so setting around and getting internet smarter on bolt on EFI kits. That way if the old 90 GMC TBI set up I got off Craigslist (that was already on another old Bronco) fails, I have a go to plan. The last pic is where I got my brace idea. 2nd to last is another sector brace idea.

How many times am I going to work on the carb before I learn anything? Do not like what you have, modify it...The 6" 2660 lumens Traveller brand work lights (from Tractor Supply) work great in place of the old headlights and the old 5" LED's I had in there.

Looking good! That's a heavy duty looking bracket on the steering box, that should stiffen things up.

Blockers? You mean skid plates? Both can be bought off the shelf and easily moded. The pic with 2 is what I was kicking around, to make into one. But just went with the full skid with a little easy lengthening of the front and closing up of the opening in the bottom.(yes I drilled a drain hole in each) The front was the same way as far as lengthening.

I can not access the Tractor Supply web site from where I am currently at...for some weird reason. But those light are cheap and awesome. At the time of the pics yes had/still has the 2bbl. I am changing it up next month before our SMORR trip.

Wheeled it friday at SMORR for a hour or so and ripped the trac bar drop bracket in half. Some angle iron, welding rod and back up and wheeled it ALL day sat. The steering box/brace worked great.

Who do you think took the 1st pic? Penny of course, insulated bib overalls and away we go. The grandson was with his mom and dad in the 92 Cherokee off and on thru out our adventures. Once you got off the windy high ground and down in the hollers it was great weather. Saturday is was almost just t shirt time.

Looks like a great time. I'm sure I would total more than few parts trying that. My "Off Road" is mud and just hold her to the floor...LOL. I'm sure that method would end tragically.
