Thought I get this one started for a new month. Thinking about picking up a cheap set of Flowtech headers today to replace my cracked exhaust manifold. Constantly ticking and setting lean codes. I want to get a set of longtubes from Summit but with the dollar's slide, they'd run me about $440 + tax while Flowtech shorties are $269 + tax. Really waffling on this decision...

Because I want to be just like Chris, I'm going to look buy a pillar gauge pod from a kid off of craigslist this afternoon. $40...

I have an addiction...

 

Well, change of plans. Apparently, the exhaust leak sound I've got is in fact rod knock. I didn't crack an exhaust manifold on the trip up the Coq. last month, but actually spun a bearing. Took the truck into my exhaust shop for some help tracing the "exhaust leak" and got the bad news. So now I don't know what we're going to do. Tina and I are going to talk it over tonight but its not looking good for old "Solid Gold".

I think I need a beer...

 

pistol ...so long old horse........

 

Well that truly does suck man. Sorry ta hear that. If its any consultation I bought a older Toyota at one time and it had a spun bearing. I drove that thing for quiet a while like that it never gave up on me. It was just the noise bothered me I got over it though.

 

I must say that sucks. Maybe have a couple beers.

I finally got tired of looking for the rod to drop my spare tire hanger so I made my own. Cost me less than 6 bucks. Not as pretty as the Ford piece but does the trick and the spare is where it should be.
Fixed a bad power connection on my sirius as well.

 

Well I went and spent some good money on steel today. Enough steel ta get my fabricator to build me a winch bumper forTHE BRONCO.Im pretty confident that this suckers gona out live the truck but thats what ya want. You dont wanna go out and spend $300 on a piece o crap Canadian Tire one that if you put any force or pressure on itll go flying off into the mud.

 

And maybe beef up the front suspension a tad.

 

If you mean me there Zip thats a big 10-4 Im going with Explorer coils and leafs. Should give me a lift of 2" ta boot.

 

Yep I was talking at you. Just making sure you have everything covered.

 

Oh yeah got most of it covered. Been doing alot of reading this last month.

 

That tends to cut down on the surprises. Sometimes they are not good.

 

No doubt. I could imagine my BII goin down the road with its nose draggin on the asphalt LOL

 

Well there was a day when that look was the thing to have. Never did like it though.

 

Would look good on a 32 ford but would really suck ta go wheeling with.

 

You could clear the trail for every one else.

Was thinking of doing the zoodad mod today but don't really feel like tromping around in all the snow we got last night.
