The Bronco is running rough, like it is on 7 cylinders or something. And there is a strong unburned gas odor. I will take it in and have the codes run to find out what the problem is. I want to get it fixed before I go down on Saturday. I will be going to Ballinger OHV it is about the same distance as Pismo, but it is inland in the mountains, or hills or whatever they are called. The dirt road I like is basically just a dirt alley. There used to be a railroad track there, but they pulled it up, and most of the ballast. So when it rains, it gets nice and muddy. As a matter of fact, that road is only about 500 yards from the entrance of the mobile home park I am moving to it is a cool short cut from Cornelia ave to Golden State road, but most people walk it.

Morn all
According to my phone its a nice day with a few showers. Not a bad Tuesday imo.
Dont get stuck Jim unless you like hopping out in mud to hook up tow rope.

Hey Gigs is it just me or are the announcers at TNT calling the races lousy. I felt like turning the volume off.

Good morning all! I usually am not up this early, but I couldn't sleep. It is only going to get worse the closer it gets to Friday. LOL. I doubt I'll get stuck, but if I do, Sean (wpnaes) has a winch on his truck. I doubt I will get one on the Bronco from this first check, but when the second one gets here, I will buy one for it. I plan on quite a few Bronco upgrades but the first check is pretty much spoken for already.

I plan on getting tru-trac for the rear, and of course a tune up and oil change. as for the arb up front, i don't know if I will do that. I might, but not decided yet. I do plan on getting headers, and a performer intake/cam kit, along with larger exhaust, and Magnaflow cat and muffler. Most of this stuff will come in August when I get my other check. Only the oil change and tune up will be done now.
