Welcome from the Northwest

I use Shwabbs because their road side assistance here in the Northwest is by far the best. I was narrowing a friend’s Snow Machine trailer when a tire blew about 100 miles in the middle of no where. I called them up, told them my tire size. And they drove out with both a new tire and a spare...

The southern Blues are still open... Northern Blues have reports of fires and I see the bombers heading out and back in...

Talk to Les Schwab Tire Center. The people there are very knowledgeable... you should be able to go up one or two sizes above stock without issue. But without knowing what size tire you are currently running, hard to give you any specifics. As for tires them selves, several of us are really...

I’m going to be “that” guy... 18 watts isn’t legal in the US for Civilian Band Radio. So don’t go blasting it around and you’ll be fine... be a J.A. Like the guy on 80m last night and the FCC will take notice.

I used to do this stuff for a living... the last job I did before selling the business was a motor swap on an 86 Bronco. So yea I’m having a blast.

I turned my small pile of parts into a huge pile of parts... 4 bolts and the engine and transmission will be free...

It’s only one of my 4 CB radios... and it’s coming out of the Bronco when I revisit my interior... I’m putting my Galaxy 959 XD in now that I have a clean mounting solution in mind.

You’re an OB member, you have free recovery services... use the SoS features on the map and you will have a recovery plan lined out pretty quickly. Once recovered and back down to hard ball, call your insurance and report it at the new location.

Here is my transfer case skid plate 90% cleaned up. I need to wipe it down with acetone to see if I need to paint it or not. Here is the pile of parts that “aren’t “ going back into the Bronco. Bye-Bye smog.

Ok so I was mistaken, my CB is a Cobra 21 LTD Classic in the Bronco.

How do you have a 120ch CB, when 11 Meter only has 40? Even if using LSB and USB on 11M (CB) you are stuck with 4 watts of power and 40 channels.

I finally ordered the transmission for my Cross-RC SU4-C... it’s only been on back order since November when I broke it... I’ll post pictures when it arrives on Monday hopefully can get a couple of good crawler shots as well... if my favorite corses are open.

Last purchase was a Junkyard engine for “The Adventure Machine”. I have a lot more parts to order...

I took off the transfer case skid plate on the Bronco, and then spent the rest of the day making stuff look pretty... tomorrow driveshafts get removed, radiator pulled, and start unhooking the transmission lines and linkages. If I feel ambitious I will pull the interior so I can swap some of...

I’ll get pictures up tomorrow... it’s the same as the 25 classic, but in a smaller package.

I haven’t ever hooked my 959 up other than just to test it when I traded an old fishing rod for it. I was going to use it as a base station unit, but decided I have enough antennas on my trailer, and I feel it would get more use out there.

Nope mine isn’t a 25 LTD WX... it’s a 25 LTD Classic... very nice radio though... I’ve been thinking of swapping out my 15 LTD for my Galaxy 959 XD...
