A Big update! (pricey!!)

2/25/08

Last week I raised around $3100 with another fire sale.

That money helped me out greatly, I was able to get brand spankin new brakes on all four wheels. It was pricey but I’m not sliding around everywhere when I touch the brakes. ($1,298.79 to be exact)

When I got the brakes put on Firestone notified me that my ball joints were in “falling off” condition. Which, if they would have fell out of the joints, my front tires would have magically come off the truck.

Lucky for me they told me about it, because they popped out a few times a day or so later.

Last Friday I took the beast in to get new ball joints put on, that was about the same price as the brakes.

With new tires for off roading, new brakes and new ball joints the Bronco cruises like a beast.

I am currently looking for a garage to rent or someone to mentor with, who has a garage, to work on the body panels.

The next big step I will be doing (besides body work) is suspension. I plan on getting off-road suspension along with a lift kit, I’m not sure on the size yet though.

I’m pretty sure my camera got stolen, luckily all the work I got done is mechanical, so there isn’t much point in taking pictures at the moment. I’ll get new ones up soon though.
