x3, shame on you.

That's almost as bad as the people putting LS and SBC motors in a classic Ford hotrod. Shameful.

OJ lives and is running good. Truck sat for two years. Battery is ****ed. Fixed the brakes and finally calibrated the speedo correctly.

Gonna take it for inspection and registration and then I'll be driving it more. Pics to come.

Drove threw a high school school zone and pulled more compliments and looks than a topless Selena Gomez or whatever the kiddos listen to nowadays. One kid was like sir what size tires are those? I'm glad some kids still have manners.

Gary's ***Project Bronco***

New battery, new crank position sensor, fixed dead gauges and gauge lights, fixed chassis ground, added steering stabilizer, bled brakes, got inspection, got license tags, charged oil, fixed AC, mounted rear tire carrier


Things left to fix:
Rear window motor/regulator
Thermostat (had a stant freeze open and truck won't get to operating temp)
Mount spare tire
Radius arm bushings
Transmission gasket leaking
Windshield washer fluid pump
Motor mounts
Front ring gear (has stock 3.55 need to change it to 4.10 to match rear gear)
Probably CV joints I think
Adjust parking brake cable
Alignment

Maybe I missed it, but what is the reason behind the 4:10 gears? Just to compensate for the big tires?

Correct


Right now work 4.10s and 35s I'm at about 1400rpms at 65


The torque really helps it get going but it would be a dog with the 3.55s and 35s from a stop
