I suppose you could try. I don't know if it will allow you to be a member of both, but you could visit both!

Dave, I'm in a similar boat with my 78 Bronco. The steering is quickly going to hell. But I need to get priorities straight, I'll be looking at ordering stuff for a lift which includes steering parts. And at the same time, looking into a new steering box, tie rod ends, and so on.
I plan on replacing all the steering linkage since my Dad verified for me that its all OG from 1976. JBG has a complete set of tie rods for 150 bucks....but I don't know what brand they are selling. Also looking into new steering gear. The stuff from Red Head Gear in Auburn looks like the way to go.

Red head is kind of spendy but I feal like a good deal.

JBG parts are generally OEM quality if possible. I'm probably going to be looking at higher quality parts. I know my radius arms for long travel parts will be from James Duff. But that's about all I can get from them for my 78. They do early Bronco mostly.

The suspension kit will be from JBG if I can get them to ship to me. They wouldn't give a shipping cost on the website so I will have to look into it.

I got the week after being out of the country for two weeks, then the Bay Area for 7 to 9 weeks starting the following week. Better than going to Angola.

Been working all week. Tonight is my first Friday, then I work Tuesday night at my other job and have Wednesday night off. I'll be headed to Flaming Geyser park and along the way, I plan to spend a bunch of money on beef jerky at Green Valley Meats!

How about you Tim?

Evening Tim. Back to work as usual, if I get days off it is my scheduled as current line of work does not receive Holiday's off.

Did get out to eat with the Family today though, Dim Sum for the Wife's birthday with MIL.

How about yourself?

Well, happy birthday I suppose...

Hello Maverick, how's it going?

I finally got the glass I need and new door locks for my F150. Now I need the locks rekeyed and to do the work with the window. Thankfully the truck I pulled it from already had the door panel off and the window disconnected. Less work!




In other news, my 78 Bronco has started showing signs of the Death Wobble again. I'll be doing some steering work sooner than planned I think.

Also, I've got some major condensation buildup on my fiberglass top... I've got a moisture removing agent in there so hopefully it helps.

I understand that... I'm waiting on my order to be dropped off. We weren't even sure if it would even show up.

When I needed a rekey on my tailgate I went with these guys on central in Kent. Fairly reasonable.

That's who I've gone to in the past. When asking about it originally they gave me some godawful quote for pulling and replacing the lock. But toward the end he did mention they could rekey a new one if I wanted to go that route.

At the time my window was still intact so I didn't have a viable reason to do the work. Now I do!
