I remembered to grab a picture of it back in while waiting for the bus with the kids this morning.

It was a lot of scrubbing with a screwdriver and wire brush. But it got there.

Went ahead and pulled the transfer case apart. Cleaned it up and inspected it. Made a few repairs and updates. Installed a relocation mount for the rear axle speed sensor on the rear output of the transfer case. And I got a little paint on it to match the transmission. I got it...

I finished welding them up. Added endcaps on the tubes and got some primer and paint on.

I've had a few oil leaks on my truck for a while now and we decided it was time to fix the oil and an exhaust leak that has developed recently. Must be good stuff in the box when it shows up like this. My oil pan has some rust holes in it that are seeping oil and it is getting annoying so I...

With the engine and transmission bolted back in. I started hanging some sheetmetal back on. Had to bring it back home. I stored it at a friend's house for a week or 2 since I needed the garage for another project. The doors are back on. Time for the core support. And with the fenders...

Made some more progress lately. My replacement transmission was finally ready. Old one out and new ready to bolt up to engine. I'll have to get a picture of it installed. I was in a bit of a hurry that day so not many pictures. It's an e4od built to hopefully hold up to abuse.

Let them help pick and plan things to see and do. Both in planning stages and stay fluid while on the road. If something catches their attention roll with it and go exploring.

Took the doors off and sanded them along with the door jams. Needed new hinge bushings anyway. Got them primed, color, and cleared. Didn't take much for pictures this time. Took a fair bit of time but I managed to get it done this weekend and it turned out pretty good.

True I have a maf factory one for a 95 and correct transmission. But I haven't looked into available replacements. Going to have to do that.

That should be a nice setup. I'm thinking about going with a mass airflow system and custom tuning it.

We have an old arb 2500 I think. Works well enough for the money. But cumbersome to deploy and put away so it really only gets used when stationary for the night. We'd like to step up to a free standing type. It would get used more then.

Didn't do too much with it this winter. At least nowhere near what I wanted to. Spent too much time remodeling 3/4 of my basement. After putting 1500 lbs of tile down I decided to take a break and play with the kids. But hopefully now back on track. Kids want to go exploring in it.

I've managed to make a little progress the last few days. I sanded and prepped the core support for primer. Then epoxy primer and some seam sealer for extra insurance. Then it was time for 2 coats of color and 2 of clear. Then on to the underside of the hood. Apparently no before or...

Last year we picked up a fridge finally and the wife loves it on trips and random adventures. But being in the back of an F-250 she is tired of climbing into the back every time she wants something. So it was time to make a slide. And for some silly reason I decided to make it out of as much...

I decided to clean up the wiring a little bit and add a fuse panel in the back. I picked up a blue sea fuse panel with negative bar as well. I wanted less connections on the battery so it would be quicker to remove if the space is needed for normal use. I used the panel as a template to drill...

Had a little time for the bronco again. Decided to sparay lizard skin sound deadener in the doors before closing up the openings I made for repairing the lower part of the doors. While cleaning the area up to weld the pieces I cut out I got the bright idea to make it a removable panel so I...

Lots of fun to be had in the Black Hills. The wife and I talk about moving back out there often.

2003 ford f250 diesel. I get 16.5 daily driving 40 miles a day. mixed in town and out. Loaded with family and camping gear for 10 days and a steady speed on highway it will get close to 18.5. We averaged 18 on a 2200 mile trip through South Dakota, Wyoming, And into western Colorado then...

I've had excellent results with headlights by wet sanding with 800 grit, 1000 grit, 1500 grit, then cleaning with iso alcohol. And the last step is to spray with automotive 2k clear coat. Started like this. And after 6 years they still look like this.
