Good morning Louisiana! Hard to beleive, it's been 13 years since the 9/11 attacks. Vividly remember that day.
Mike, it's good you waited until you got home, don't want you getting banned from the grocery store again....LOL

Morning Robert. Thought you might be on your way home already. Wet and chilly up here today, feels more like mid-October.

Mandatory intro stuff:
Just moved into Shreveport a few months ago with an intended stay of about 4 years and am settling in.
I have a '79 Bronco that I recently completed a Cummins swap into but has been a hobby for years; when I lived in CA, I bought the truck and the plan was to build it as a trail rig that could be driven to and from the fun, with the target as the Dusey-Ershim trail. A move to TX, then LA convinced me that I won't be seeing any trails in the near future, so I've only loosely been following the idea behind that plan.
It's now a semi-daily driver that is making its way towards being a comfortable to drive vehicle that throws a head scratcher or 2 person job my way from time to time.
I've got a ton of changes I've done to the truck, but by far the best install I've EVER done to it has been hydro-boost. That took the truck from downright dangerous to properly refined when it comes to slowing the roll.
The next big challenge that may or may not get tackled here is figuring out rust that has crept in since 2002 or so when I picked the truck up.
And so there it is.
