Pro exhaust in auburn. They were my first choice.

 

That's who I went to. The thing I like about them is they actually honor their warranty and fix their mistake. I called them like 3 months after I had the system done to see if they would fix the shift linkage clearance issue and the first thing the guy said was "Is that the blue Ford?"

 

So far I haven't had any issues besides my exhaust leak but that is my fault for never fixing the manifold. I'll fix it eventually.

 

It wasn't the owners fault, it was his dads fault for going gang ho on it lol. He did a really nice job except for that one clearance spot. Apparently it was his first day back in a year.

 

Well I guess I should give this a small update. I haven't been doing too much with the bronco since my exhaust. Just been driving around and such. Anyways since my entire brake system is F***ed, I started a cart list on JBG. I've got over $400 in brake parts from the master and booster to stainless lines, a new Prop Valve, the caliper retaining stuff (mine is rusted and not in great shape), and soon I'll be adding calipers, pads, and probably rubber lines when I get the steel lines. The calipers I'm just going to get remans from Autozone, but the other parts I plan to order. I think I will wait till my next paycheck but I'm getting antsy, I've got all these pretty parts in my basket and I'm ready to order. I have to be smart about it though and not get myself in a hole. My original plan was to order each part over a span of time but then I was looking at prices and I could order them all at once.

Once I get the parts I plan to paint the booster, master, and calipers to prevent rust as much as possible. It probably won't matter much on the calipers but if it does help in the long runs, great. In other news, I had been driving the VW for a while and got into a "I want to keep and restore this baby!" And now that I'm back in the beastie I kind of want to get rid of it and get something more reliable. I'm looking for a 5.0 1987-1993 fox body mustang, power and looks.

Anyways hopefully I can get these parts and get my brakes working again, it gets pretty crazy trying to go from 60 to 10 on the freeway. Plus it wears my pads and rotor much faster only having front brakes.

I should be able to get all this stuff done pretty quick, however I don't know how the master and booster works, I've never pulled one apart so that will be an adventure.

Also in unrelated news I've been thinking about my crap body lift and I have been wondering how well things would work if I just removed it and ran no lift with 35s. I've read they only rub a little when there is some flex but I'm not sure. Any thoughts?

Till next time

 

Glad ta see ya back in the TGM. Now git yer damn brakes fixed?

 

I'm working on it! I just have to stop spending all my new money on useless stuff! Having full paychecks again is pretty nice.

 

And no Girl Friend yet right? Ya should have lots of money.

No Wait!! Ya got two girls. TGM and The Bug. And that aint
so bad. Just give em what they need, Not all they want.
Learn this now Before a real GF comes into your life.

 

I got 99 problems but a... Well you get the idea . Nah I'm good at saving money but since the holidays just passed I have not money left... I can normally sock away a nice chunk of each check into savings and let that build up. I'm actually planning to get rid of the VW, I already have on giant project, if I got rid of it I could get something a bit newer and better on fuel, then I can concentrate more on the bronco.

 

Man I never buy anything for myself lol. Maybe two or three things a year. Guess you can call me a money hoarder lol.

 

Sometimes I splurge and buy myself something nice but normally I try not too. Lately though with the holidays and me now having a full time job, I can afford stuff now. The temptation is there.

 

Dill yer gonna fall in lust soon. Yer at that age. Once ya get a taste of
"The Good Life" than that is where all yer money will be goin. It's worse
than drugs.

 

If I had all the money I have spent chasin poon-tang I could buy 2 dozen old broncos and 3 brand new trucks, But I dont regret spending 1 red cent of it.

 

The only thing I find worthwhile for me to buy is ammo and truck parts lol.

 

Condoms and Ammo. That's all the protection I need.
Maybe a roll cage for the Bronk.
