What did you do for your ford today?

[arse_sidewards]

Went to lunch today; slid/oversteered while turning into Burger King's driveway.
Was going about 1.5MPH when I oversteered and jumped the curb (again) in the driveway.

Yeah; HMMWV tires suck in cold weather.

On the other hand, with all that sidewall you probably didn't even know that curb was there.

 

[Levigarrett76]

Is that considered legit mall crawling/ bouncing?

 

[JTreadway]

Haven't wheeled in like 5 months due to work stuff. Got around to swapping in a 6 pin MAF connector and ditching the 4 to 6 adapter. Timing adjustment, new plugs and wires and valve adjustment. Ordered a new cam from Camshaft Innovations. Will install here shortly.

Yeah; I just waited for momentum to cease.

 

[USMC Gunny]

ordered a new filler neck tube this week. But nothing getting done on the damm truck. Anniversary yesterday and celebrating today. Plus the fucking ATF has been here all week, stress everyday.

 

[Provience]

trying to convince the wife to hit up a junkyard for some parts. Probably still too cold today, but she wants to go to town and that's where all the cheap parts live

also made a spaghetti recipe, hopefully it cooks up well.

 

[Provience]

made it to the junkyard, kind of a tough day out there.

Turns out they don't let kids under 18 in the yard anymore

did find pretty much everything I needed and even a trim piece for the wifes car

lots of light duty and cracked weld/broken hitch receiver mounts. found some good ones, didn't bring enough wrench or any grinder to cut the bolts off

saw several transmissions I should own, didn't bring enough energy or desire to take them all out

Hit an miss

ended up spending more at petsmart because "since we are so close" and at fast food since the wife and kid were dying of hunger and boredom than I did on wire connectors and harness'.

Hauled some firewood with the F150 for the first time since installing Sumo springs, it didn't turn it into a real truck but it doesn't drive nearly as shitty with 1000-1200lb in the bed.

Spent some more time yesterday hacking away at the Canyonero frame rail trying to get the steering box support and crossmember freed. This is made infinitely more frustrating when inbreds who can barely weld have spent years goobering shit together anywhere they can reach. About >this< close to hacking the crossmember out in multiple pieces. Also started bartering with my dad for the crossmember and frame horn out of his '80 bronco because this shit is getting worse the deeper I go.

 

[Provience]

Weight savings program going on, starts with ounces

and now it can wait on the full harness

 

[Buckthis]

Single wheel swap complete

 

[Levigarrett76]

Niiice

 

[Levigarrett76]

Toolbox swap

 

[M92PV4U]

Toolbox swap

I had that same orange box, mine unfortunately wasn't all that tough.

I've had that box since 1999 or so, its held together surprisingly well. Never thought i would go to HD and think, man they don't make em like they used to, referring to a fucking plastic toolbox.

 

[CDA 455 II]

I looked at it.

 

[Will Scarlet]

I looked at it.

 

[CDA 455 II]

What I was greeted with just now while warming up the Bronco:

Either the lower hose is loose or water pump bolt or two came loose.
Because that's where it's leaking from.

Beyond those two possibilities; I have no fuggin' clue...🙁

[holdmypocket]

Frozen water expanding = fucks shit up.

The coolant is Walmart brand 50/50 radiator coolant.

 

[Steve300xcw]

The coolant is Walmart brand 50/50 radiator coolant.

That coolant says the 460 swap is happenin sooner than later

Got to start looking for a trashed '80s Class-A motorhome sitting in someone's field.

 

[Steve300xcw]

Fuck that. Find an old farm truck with a shifter on the floor an 3 pedals.

 

[arse_sidewards]

Probably just a leak somewhere dumb IMO.

'72 F-600 would be nice.

 

[Steve300xcw]

That isnt goona fit in your parking spot

I found the upper hose leaking/hose clamp loose last Spring.

I'm hoping it's the same thing with the lower hose.

 

[arse_sidewards]

It'll probably have a 370 instead of a 460.
