I live in the building RIGHT next to the pool/office, the bluehairs are always complaining about sh*t and a Bradenton PD Supervisor just so happens to be the complex security guard, he lives upstairs from me... Someone is always on my ass.

Well in that case i'd say no..lol..Man that doesn't leave you any room to do anything even slightly risky.
 
Broncos are nice. I had a '95 and an '80. I liked them alot, but they are crazy with gas mileage so low. I did like how tough they are stock for offroad. I kept up with lifted trucks with 35's and gears with my '95 with stock tires and all.
 
Im right by you bd..But yeah, replacing it is pretty easy just alittle time consuming.
 
Contemplated the supercharger I want to install today. If my wife gets one of the jobs she is interviewing for in the next few weeks, it will be sooner than later.
 
Drove the '96 to work today. This is what my yard and road looked like this morning before I left for work.

The car made it just fine. Hardly any slipping or sliding. Thankfully, the main roads were pretty clear.

Bought a pair of used Aeromotive fuel rails.

Anybody got a set of 72# or 80# injectors laying around?
 
Walked Pass my 94 on my way to work ... Looked at it ... notices some snow on it. Then looked passed my 94 to see my 93 all tucked away under it's cover .... sleeping well. Then went to work
 
I got stuck with them on my '97. I am in the process of buying some aftermarket 5 spokes (it's a killer deal). I don't like the amount of curve the spokes have on directionals.
 
Been Lacking in my posting of updates..
Well, With DLF's help and guidance.. :) Finally got the 98 trans installed after a bunch of F'U's and Holy Sh!t I can't beleive they did this.. while looking at the car... and hearing all the "This has got to be the Dirtiest Car I have ever worked on!!" :rolleyes: Anyway, we had to cut the Exhaust off the car and tacweld it back on, had to repin the harness, and then had to cut an ear off the bell housing of the 98 to clear the EGR Tube from a Gen 1., And when re-pinning the harness the wiring diagram had used color codes on the wires, well if you see 2 brown wires in the harness, lets just say for the sake of simplicity, they are actually Purple.. then everything comes together.
Now what we found was the D/S was a total obomination. the U-Joints were not factory and were outfitted with Grease Fittings and I assume they were never greased as the u-joints were totally wipped out. Can anyone Say VIBRATION!!! and then we get the trans out, (I will be investing in O2 Extensions) I pull the TC and lets just say I am surprised It was still capible of forward motion, there didnt seem to be much of any bearings left in the TC, Yet another source of Vibration..

And then we were able to replace the Accumulators for 1-2 and 2-3 while in there left out the lower 1-2 but kept the 2-3 spring in.
We also put in the J-mod plate for the 98 trans.. I agree much firmer shifts and after all of this.
I now have a respectible smooth ride home.!
Thanks
DLF.

Things still to do now I had a chance to see the car..
Fix Oil Pan Gasket, Fix Power steering leak., Fix Drivers side exhaust flange.
Clean the undercarriage, detail the car, and then put in the Tracklok. Maybe afterwards, I will then get the Adrenaline Air Pump, Mine is I think on its way out. yet again.

Anyway Its all good now I see some light at the end of the tunnel so to speak!

Found injectors I'll be buying, started tearing apart one of my P1SC's and I'm pretty sure I'll be needing output shaft bearings.
 
Filled her up with Premium Shell gas then took her for a 30 mile ride.
