They just need some love. Everything in that car needs some love.

No not soon. But if I have it by the summer, I might start on in it in July/August. But the 4.0 would've helped on the drive home. A heavy head wind kept me in the slow lane until the wind let up.

I didn't break anything or replace anything on the car. So nothing new to post about that. But I did pick up some more parts for the car. I'll post about that later, but the trucks gonna go taller. Just slightly.

Was in Johnson Valley for the king of the Hammers race, and took the dirt roads out to see giant rock. Even got my tire up on a piece of the rock.

Put the wheels on the ttb. It'll be fine.

Those tires look a bit worn. Were they BJ Baldwins tires?

KOH was insane. As to be expected. Super hot during the day, cold cold cold at night. Dust clouds so thick you can't see where your going. And the after hours when the race is done is mayham. Camped with Brian1 and his friends which was nice. Thanks again Brian! And I had a few other friends...

Why the cantilever on the outside of the frame rails? Do you not have the space behind the axle inside the frame rails?

Oh wait your "today and tomorrow" is Tuesday Wednesday? Dang it. I won't be there till Thursday.

I'll be there tomorrow. Hopefully roll in around noon. So look for the green b2 running around.

That would be interesting. Cause Steve wanted to buy those from him years ago. Maybe now he can. Like 6 years later.

Wow. Bye bye Navajo that I knew. Are you gonna fit a ranger tailgate? Interesting to see the cage all out in the open.

Went to Azusa ohv park again

Did some more work on my fender trimming. Previously I had just cut the metal and filled the gaps with expanding foam. But the tire was catching the edge of the metal and tearing up my tire. I made note of it in a post #35 of this thread The metal refused to bend up out of the way, so I cut...

The rear bumper is on my "list" of things to do. In the next couple weeks I'll probably work on it. It's just been on the back burner cause it'll take a bit of time and work cutting and welding and drilling and making sure it lines up and is level and etc. But that bumper will be on eventually.

The shocks on my car were not to my taste. The car was to bouncy. Fortunately when I was talking to a friend about it, he said he had some rancho 9000's I could have if they fit. And they did! That helped control the front, but the rear was still very "springy". So keeping with the penny...

You added love? I can't see anything new in the pictures. Something dangling from the prized rear view mirror? Don't know

Oh wow. Thanks. I think yours is turning out better than mine was. at least you still have yours. Now we just need to meet up out on the trails!

Yes. It's an expensive and time consuming hobby. Too much for me and my current life. So it's kind of similar to when a friend is moving away and you just want them to be happy and do what's best for them. So I still have the B2 that I can continue to build a few hundred dollars at a time and...

Hey nice car! I like it already :D Glad to see the car in the hands of a friend, and someone who can finally put in the work to give that lost puppy a new life.

I just want to be somewhere safe with a tent and leave my camping stuff there while we watch the race. And have a fire pit. I have another friend or two coming, they'll be in tents too. So we should probably set up our own spot. I know Brian said we could camp by them, but not sure how much...

Sold

I'd say 2nd gen, 4dr v8 explorer. Makes sense with everything you have already.

I picked up an unused super lift superrunner steering kit from another member on here. I want to make it work on my setup, but from the measurements I took, I probably need an inch or two more lift to get the geometry right. Which is fine with me. I just don't want to go over 4" of lift. Right...

We didn't stop to take a lot of photos. Here's all that I have from my phone. Most of them from my driver's seat.

My quarter panel is looking good too ;):D

Hopefully I'll get a couple more friends to go and we'll make our own spot somewhere.

From Rick. The explorer forum founder.

There's a small list of things I still need to get done one the bronco, but one thing that showed up during this trip is that I need to do something about my cut fenders, because when the suspension flexes and stuff the tire, the outer edge of my tire is being chewed up. And one of the best...

Had a really good weekend out in truckhaven. The bronco did really well both on the trails and on the drive there and back. Had plenty of traction with the rear locker, the short overhangs and small wheelbase kept me from scraping on anything. And nothing broke. That's a good trip.

Definitely good people. I've been on trails with other groups, but no one is family like the way explorer forum is. Really glad I was able to make it out there again.

Are you camping with another group? If I remember right, you usually work/volunteer at the event? I'm just in a tent, so I need to find a good place to camp there. Don't want to just toss up a tent and get run over.

Anyone going to king of the hammers this year? Its big a crazy and chaotic. Some people hate it, some people love it. I'm planning on being there Thursday to Saturday. The main race is on Friday the 9th.

He needed more ballast than that

Nice. Long travel looks so awesome

The pumpkin king

...

Here!

I found problems on my bronco today to as I was checking it over. It should be ok now. Or at least enough to make it through the weekend.

I'll see you guys on Friday.
