I agree. Like you I remember the Tellico rides and all over the mountain at Monteagle in the late 90s and early 2000s. The most miserable I have been was with a group of about 20 of us and the lead guy had been partaking in some beverages and decided to whiskey throttle over a bad section and...
The wave spring showing there is correctly installed. It applies outward pressure to the plug to ensure no leakage. Mine has been in now for 50k miles and no leaks
Yeah thats my sister in law's Chevy. I have the Bronco hiding out at their house cause my dad likes to randomly stop at my house and work on stuff in my garage after he breaks it up on the farm.
Havent given it to him yet. Gonna wait til Thanksgiving when all the family is together. Plus I gotta detail it and graphene coat it before he gets it. It will probably be stuck in a mudhole at our hunting spot the afternoon he gets it.
Picked this up yesterday. Good luck on yalls Heritage Edition journeys. Most likely my last new Ford purchase. Loyalty doesnt mean anything to them anymore so I guess it doesnt to me either.
The chart in the Bilstein paperwork, figured in the extra weight of the bumper and winch, decided to go up one ring higher in the front to compensate for the weight of those and pretty much hit my desired lift spot on.
2dr Badlands Non Sas Bilstein 6112s with their springs, 3rd ring up on the front and 2nd ring up on the rear. 315 General Grabber X3s with BAMF bumper, Warn 10k winch, metal skid plates along with aftermarket trans skid. Netted about 2.25" front and 2" rear lift. I installed myself.
Probably stay stock for now. If I start painting parts on a new Bronco before I paint my wife's 55 Thunderbird Ive been working on for years there will be hell to pay.
I just saw your info, you are just across the mountains from me. Im over here in Decatur, TN and frequently head to Cherokee, Bryson City, Blue Ridge etc,
My dad is a man of zero emotion. 50+ yrs in the fire service and growing up in the backwoods of TN has made him fairly hardened. I'll post some pics but its probably gonna be like a Stonewall Jackson statue. :LOL:
My dealer has no explanation for it. He's not happy about it either cause they cancelled his Explorer orders too. I found a 2dr Black Diamond I think my dad can live with. My dealer said pull the trigger on it because this is a clown show.
