Drove it around for about an hour tonight. Took it the car wash and cleaned it up. Charges the AC system and it blows good and cold now.

Driving height reminds me of the Raptor or maybe a little higher. Sounds sweet under acceleration.

Needs an alignment. I did the best I could to line it up but it needs to be put on a rack. I changed the tie rods and drop links and of course the 4" lift throws the camber off.

I'll try to get video this weekend...

Bronco at school with Regan. I think she thinks it was worth the 3 months wait.

I finished it at 4:00am last night and I was dog tired. I could barely crawl up in the thing without ripping my pants. Lol

Still running strong. Thinking about getting some tunes for it if I can find someone that will do it. It is OBDII but I don't think SCT has a programmer for it. I would like to get a mileage tune while she is driving it and then have a torque tune for when I get it back later.

Any SCT dealer should be able to write you a tune for it. They also have a multi program switch that you can change tunes at the flip of a switch which could be cool.

thats what i used in my 96 cobra.. the switch was nice cause i could swap between a mild tune, a na ***** out tune, a n2o tune, and valet (fun to watch someone only go to 1800rpm in a car with a 7.2k redline)
