Alright guys watch out. I got busy this weekend. Added Rusty's uni-body strengtheners on both sides, steering box plates, steering box brace, and drag link brace. Looks like it should stiffen things up a bunch. Even found that one of my shocks was bad. One step closer to being able to go out and play.

I think the tool I rented from auto zone was a pit arm puller to get them out. I cut the bolt down PB'ed them and they came out easy.

[QUOTE="Jrock(fos);2656267"]this is the waterfall purple most of us were all beat built and belly skid plated the black cherokee made it bone stock but it also had a well experienced driver at the wheel. its not impossible but its not for beginners. the bronco was bought full built with manual lockers and gears. but the person driving it was a beginner and this was his first trip. he had to be winched up and punctured his has tank. was a lot of fun. this is my other crew from nm off road.

Is that Chris in the wrangler? Lime green cage? Looks like his jeep

Yes that was Chris in the Wrangler. And the bronco was a buddies of mine. It did not have a hole in the tank but a bad low pressure fuel pump and died on the incline as the pump was not up to the task of pumping the fuel up hill. In fact by the end of the day it barely got us back home. I love the shot of it looking down on it at the start of waterfall canyon.

So when we doing it again?

Fitment af all the parts was excellent. No complaints except where my uni frame was already all tweaked.

There was a leak in the line I remember him telling me when we got to the top of a climb it was just poring out and i thought you guys put duck tape on it!!! Lol

That bronco is beautiful
Id trade my jeep for an old bronco in a second.

I have a bunch of really nice pics from that day. I gotta find the dude in the black wrangler who made moonshine again.

Yes Chris sold that wrangler this summer.

The leak in the bronco fuel system was the vent hose and yes it poured out a bit of fuel... I forgot about that. The reason it quit running though was a seprate problem and that was the fuel pump.

Devin sold the Bronco this summer and now has a wrangler. I think he was scared to death to hurt the Bronco and wanted something cheaper and more steetable.
