bronco carnage

chris and i got back today after wheelin at grayrock this weekend and we had a blast! only problem i had that caused an issue was a broken main leaf! i was trying to hop up Bunny Slopes and i had just seen chris walk up it with no problem i got frustrated and hit it a couple of times a lil too hard! didnt know it at the time but when i limped back to the trailer i noticed the other side had bent a good deal. i've decided its a good time to 4-link the rear since the front is already coiled/wristed.

also had a small engine fire first of the day, got that fixed. no one told me that an oil gauge had oil going to it and that it gets flammable when squirted on the engine manifolds!!!

all in all the damn thing impressed the heck outta me! its not a buggy and its far from being indestructible BUT i romped on it a couple good times and didnt have any problems *knock on wood*.... o yea an t-case is still in one piece!

here are some pics and i have a vid but gotta get it off my cam-corder first

looks like fun!

can't wait to see the 4 link setup.. coilovers or bags?

glad to hear the t-case made it in once piece too

edit: what brand are those seats? I've been looking for a pair for my bronco, not sure what to go with. you like em?

The cloth seats getting rained on isn't cutting it anymore

prolly neither, havent done much research yet but prolly some soft coils or something i can do on the cheap. BUT i dunno yet, might just go with some coilovers, its all in the air as of now.

i LOVE the seats. they are surprisngly comfortable even for my fata$$. never got tired of them and they are stout enough to hold me in! they cant get wet all night, all i have to do is wipe them out with a towel and they are dry again!

i recommend you invest in some better seats, you will regret getting either of those, there about as comfy as sittin on concrete, and with you on the rocks or whatever im sure is not a smooth ride.

Good seats are so expensive though. The ones from summit are so cheap I don't think it could hurt to try them out. I wonder if they would bolt up to a pair of adjustable sliders?

i guess maybe my butt fits just right in there, but i was very comfortable all weekend! i give them 2 thumbs up and would recommend them again.

another thing is they kept me put in one place where as most other seats would let me slide around when on the rocks. i would just flail around

just my opinion!
