1991 Bronco 4x4 351W E4OD 3.55LS. All stock right now.
Plan is to lift it 4" 33s, 408 stroker, maybe C6 swap, dual exhaust (done better then currently), custom brush guard(have), and a few other goodies. For right now though just leaving it stock as we need to invest money to get the others going also I need a better long distance truck for when I drive farther and the envoy, 10 F150, and 14 spark my parents have I hate driving.

Yeah I went up to my family's cabin in Heber with a few friends! It was a nice little getaway, especially with it starting to get a little hotter now.
I have to hurry and prep my Bronco for paint! It's going to be two toned Metallic Black (main color) with metallic darkred (side color). I don't have a booth so it has to be done outside like all my other paint jobs! The bugs are already preparing for war for a nighttime paint job so I may end up trying to build a really flimsy plastic enclosure or something. Now that my 7.3 is basically all ready to go, I can get my Bronco's engine bay prepped!
Anyways it's late so you guys have a good night! I have a lab course dealing with peltier elements tomorrow morning so I better get some sleep.

Still haven't gotten my lab report done yet... I'm just finding any way to postpone working on it but it's due at midnight... It was nice that it was a little cooler outside today but I had to be stuck writing inside!
I just want to start prepping my Bronco for paint!!!
Ah that brings me to a question,
Does anyone know any good places to paint yourself in the phoenix (preferably east) valley? I've heard some people do that here but never looked into it.
Otherwise I may still go with my building a flimsy booth idea or just paint outside anyways.

Haha yeah I've heard of people renting booths and stuff. Then again, I don't know if I'd need to bring my compressor and such so it may be easier/cheaper just to do it at my house again!
