You got it David. The number one reason I look forward to Christmas anymore is because I get some time off from school and time to SLEEP

sleep is good when you're sick

so my lighting problems continue...apparently when I hit the brakes now, the actual brake lights dont come on, although the 3rd light does, and the running and blinker lights do come on. I dont get it?

Well I went outside a few minutes ago and crawled under the Bronco because I was curious about the oil drip. Well in looking up at it, I did notice that one of the bolts that bolts up the oil pan is missing. I'm hoping it was just lost and hopefully not stripped or something. Anyway, I think that might explain the leak as it appears to be coming from there.

I was very happy with the underside of the truck. I don't know where it originally came from, but for being on the Texas Gulf Coast as of late it looks really good. Really no frame rust. Everything looks good. You can see the body color underside of the body. No globs of dirt or stuff like that. I'm still deciding where to start and what I want to do. Do you do inside and then finish with a paint job, do performance, then exterior, and then finish with interior? IDK I've only modded the Mustang before.

i would do what i didn't do with the II.

First, fix everything thats wrong, and upgrade wherever you can. then, improve performance til you are happy. Then do the interior, and do the outside of it last

I'd fix the problems first, engine second, and then exterior/interior where you can.

That sounds like the perfect plan. That's exactly the way I was leaning. First I'll take care of this oil leak. I'll also find out why the ABS light won't go off in the dash. Brakes are squealing and chattery, need to check the rotors. I know the shocks are shot. They are original, so first up lift kit with shocks, springs, and everything necessary. Then I'll go with a CAI and new exhaust from manifolds to tail pipe. Then cams. After that we'll see how much I like it.

Good Morning MCTC. Did everyone else wake up late like I did. If I wasn't my own boss, I'd have called in sick today. It was cooler here this morning, so it must be downright cold up north. Anyway. Back to work beaches!

It's cold here, but I have no idea what the actual temp is. At least the sun is out.
