spotless!

Was on the trails Sunday and got this message. Essentially - touchscreen high temperature, reduce cabin temperature. Touch screen still worked and the message went away before I did anything. It was only 80 degrees and sun wasn't out yet. Slow rolling in 4low so plenty of heat from...

this is comparing apples to pecans

didnt realize it went that far forward. If your second photo is you lining it back up, I'd just grab a poprivet gun with an assortment pack of pop rivets and put the largest diameter one in there that will fit and give it a go. Assuming the back side of the rivet doesnt then rub on something.

i eventually discerned what you meant. But ya thats the plan.

I would not run the eibachs on fast undulating / bouncy off road. forest roads at speed they'd be great I bet. Slow off roading / crawling, I love them

I wouldnt say weaker applies here. Simply the valving at play, being more open (more fluid flow) in the eibachs. But they do ride like a 70s cadillac.

What?

anyone know what thread the sasq / M210 axle ends are? I took the nut off one side of mine last year (first time / only time) and noticed before I backed it off that the outer threads were not pristine. Can't imagine what part of the assembly process at ford would do that. Gunna have to...

paper filter. check it after a dusty wheeling trip. Shop vacs and compressed air can clean them out pretty well too rather than always replacing. depends on the back side tho (engine intake side)

if going the glue route, if someone lets me know the type of plastic, I can provide the right stuff to use.

I replaced my plastic with an aftermarket. Still required the recovery hooks to be removed. You can unbolt the assembly from the bronco and cut them off a bench. It's easy. I used a cutoff wheel.

Does the steering rack (SD version) have a true mechanical zero input I can verify? Or is there an output from the rack that is more accurate than the steering degree display on the screen? I replaced my UCAs a bit ago and it pulled a little. No biggie I'll get it aligned. Before I did, I...

They replace trail damaged tires? Are you serious Clark? wonder if that is policy or just local shop approach.

For cleaning pre-weld, I had to use a pneumatic rotary tool with conical flapper wheel thing. that worked the best. it is a bitch to knock off the paint on the upper parts.
