Its Alive!

After wrestling with the transmissions and tcase and crossmembers all weekend, I finally got my Bronco to move under its own power! Ok, so I only drove it about 20 feet, but when I put it gear, it moved! Almost makes the last two days crawling around under the thing worth it. Well, I'm sure it'll be even more worth it when I hit the trails, but one step at a time. Next on the list is brakes; I got the go, now I need the whoa.

Think of all the gas you could save if you left off the brakes It's always nice to see a rig moving after some down time.

The thing is, I just bought the truck a couple of weeks ago with the busted trans. I haven't even driven the stupid thing more than the 20 feet today! I can't wait until it moves out of the driveway on its own.

Off topic: I see you're in Idaho. I spent a couple of weeks out there back in May. Thats a nice part of the world.
