Eddie, that white Jeep must be the one you had first time we wheeled in the Puerco. When was that - '02 or '03? Is that the time you broke the axle and we used a log - Flintstone style - strapped across it to prevent it from walking out of the tube so you could drive it? I think that was your Jeep - could be wrong though. Sure was a great run.
The Bronco 4L got 15mpg hiway loaded down for camping while driving up and down the big hills between Blanding, UT and Hite Marina right after I got the 4L in but that was before I lost 5th gear in the TK5 tranny (3.96 1st). We filled up at Hite and went into the Maze. Camped and drove out at Goblin Valley next day. Now with 5th not working, it gets about 10 or 11 hiway and the same off road. Not sure when I'll get around to it but I need to get that tranny fixed!!
I never saw that Bronco you brought from SD but I did see the pic when you had the hitch for sale.

Oh yeah! I used to literally LIVE out there. That's where my first run with Ford Freak was around 10 years ago - mentioned a few pages back in this thread. I've only been out there once or twice in the past year though. Too much else to do. I'll post up any good pics if I get any - along with some nice flex pics I took in the Porko in Oct.
