SOWEGA Spring 2016

[kat]

Check this out guys and gals.....Saturday night after wheeling Kerri felt some pain in her right side like strained muscles. We did get jostled around a bit, especially her, in the rocks by the bridge. That pain went on for a week and we started to wonder what was up. Yesterday morning when she bends over to tie her shoes she felt something pop. Pain was bad after that. Go to the emergency room this morning...broken rib! Doc says it was fractured and it ended up braking off when she tied her shoes.

She is a trooper though....all she said was we are getting better seating and/or a harness for next year! I say bigger lift and tires to cushion the blows.

Damn man, just read this, hope she is feeling better by now. Yall just using a lap belt??

Thanks. No, I installed 3 points before the trip just for the extra stability.

From your thread....On a side note, I know it's a ride but if you need your door frames welded I'm more than happy to oblige.

Your talking about my cracked welds on the driver side?? You can do that?? I might take you up on that, would like to see your new ride anyway. Putting on a new winch this weekend was going to send you some pics with it and the new bumpers. Getting a roll cage next week and need a welder, are you up to that task??

 

[Teal68]

Yes, sounds like fun. Should be no problem knocking out he cage and window frames. Can't wait to see the transformation.

I installed my new Chromoly Axles from Toms Bronco Parts yesterday.

Turns out that not only the U-joint broke but the inner axle snapped right at the splines too. I got the broken part out no problem and the new axles went right in. Now I'm ready for another trail ride so I can see what I can break next.

Keeping the vendors in business .

I strongly recommend tack welding all those joint caps.

 

[Justafordguy]

I spoke with Toms about that but they say with the full circle clips it isn't necessary.

 

[ford man]

Oh that is so nice love to see some new parts!

Well. I got mine torn apart. It had a little oil leak in the front and had to take the radiator and such out to fix it. Turns out someone did not put the oil pan seal in the front that is located between the timing cover and oil pan so I get to drop the oil pan. I am just glad we did not go through any really deep water.

How did they forget that!?! I bet you just blew it out when you went up that muddy hill at 6 grand, Lane!;D;D

 

[bigcountry]

Not sure how you forget that! It was leaking before the hill climb and I made it to the top isn't that what counts?

 

[Teal68]

Lane, what cam you got in that? Sounded perfect, and definitely had the RPM for the hill!

That missing seal was just a lower PCV. Very rare!

It is a Ford Racing E303 cam.

I have wondered about E in a Bronco. I had a brand new one I was tempted to put in Kerri's Bronco, but ended up selling it. I have to quit selling parts! Now I wish I had her old steering wheel and horn and some drive shafts and J shift cases I got rid of.

 

[Justafordguy]

You should never get rid of Bronco Parts, you just never know when you may need em.

 

[bigcountry]

Got the pan off. It was a one piece gasket. Someone had removed the timing cover and when they reinstalled it they pushed the cover part of the seal back and it was on the inside of the pan. Put new gasket on and installed pan.

Now I am swapping the headers as the hookers were not welded properly and it will not seal. It blew an exhaust gasket after only about 10 miles of driving. Therefore summit is swapping them out for Hedmans, and then off to the exhaust shop again.

 

[Teal68]

You and Gary are way ahead of the game for next year!

 

[Justafordguy]

Next year? I'm ready to go now.

Organizing my pics and I just noticed all 12 Broncos are in this pic!
