Taking care of business for now, the relax next week I hope

 

Happy hump day Nor cal FTE and friends. The weekend is almost here. decided to postpone buying the Jag until my next settlement check. This will give me more money for other priorities. Main one being rent, since I don't want to be homeless again anytime soon, I will be paying a full 12 months up front.

Jim

 

well the arb up front would be nice so when u need it u got the added traction but u still be ables to steer when u need that two

 

Thought you might like to see this Jim. This is my buddys B2. It's got explorer axles front and rear with 4.88's, locked front and rear.

 

Sweet looking Bronco II.

Joe, yes, I know the advantages of of ARB up front, and like I said I am thinking of getting it, but I will not be able to until August even if I do decide to add it. I have quite a few upgrades planned for the Bronco once I am settled in, and able to concentrate on it instead of moving, getting furniture, paying the rent, and adding at least one window AC unit. Not too mention, I don't have a TV or stereo anymore, so I have to get those. Right now, the only thing I am going to do to the Bronco is a tune up, oil and filter change, and fix that stupid running crappy problem, which I hope thje tune up fixes. Oh, and I'll get a class III frame mounted hitch installed with a 2" ball, and both 4 pin, and 7 pin connectors. Oops, also forgot, get rid of that stereo and speakers for a good sounding one. I wanted to have the LS installed before the 4x4 trip, but since the check is getting here the day before the trip that isn't going to happen. so that will probably happen in august as well.

yea i thinking i sell my burb and get the f350 fixed im tired of messing with cali bs smog smog

 

Excellent idea Joe. I was really surprised when you bought the Suburban. I mean you were a single guy what did you need a 9 passenger truck for? LOL And besides, it isn't a Ford.

I can justify my Jag purchase because Jaguar was owned by Ford when it was made, so it is ok.

Jim

 

its was cheap i paid 1600 for the burb and its been good to me but i like my idi more

 

Buy an Excursion next time Just kidding, buy whatever you want. However, I agree with you it is time to get the 350 up and running. So we can go to Pismo together and have some fun.

Jim

 

oh i would love a 7.3 4x4 excursion but them things are major bucks the f350 runs great just needs a new mascter clutch cylder and back reg paid

 

So when are you going to be able to get the clutch cylinder and back registration paid?


Jim

 

when i get a job lol i appled at gallo as a laborer but havent hurd nothing back yet

 

Well that sucks, I thought you already had a job. Good luck with Gallo.

Happy thirsty Thursday Nor-Cal FTE and friends, and with temps going over 100 today I am sure a lot of peeps will be thirsty. One more day until my life changes for the better. I bet I get no sleep tonight. (Is Santa here yet? LOL) Tomorrow, I move into my own place, get out of this veteran's plaza and become a normal pay-my-own-way kind of guy. I will not have internet access until sometime Sunday between noon and 2pm when the Comcast guy is supposed to arrive, but I can always go to a Mc Donald's and check my emails (if I am not too busy moving in and getting settled.)

So I may not post until Sunday as Saturday is the Ballinger trip and Friday is already booked up with getting the check, going to the bank, getting the U-Haul trailer, moving, and then taking the Bronco in to Pep Boys for a tune up and oil change. That should cure the running crappy part, and if not, I am sure they will tell me what it needs. LOL Besides, who knows how long it has gone without a tune up or oil change? Not like I know the previous owners of the truck.

Jim

 

i changed the oil when i frist brought it but i new it needed a tune up fellet down on power for a 5.8 v8 i had a job when i was working for my mom taking care of gmom

 

Wish I had the time to get the Bronco tuned up before the move, but it will have to happen after. No big deal, my storage unit is only 3 miles or so away from the home I am moving to, so it should be fine. As long as it is running well for the 4x4 trip. I will actually be able to fill up that 32 gallon tank for the first time since I owned it. Guess I better buy a locking gas cap too while I am at Pep Boys.
