with my powerstroke I dragged home an idi tonite for the wife and kids to drive , but it only has 3 cylinders and is pretty ragged...... ok its a kubota G1800 w/4wheel steer. needs lots of TLC but it is a lot more user friendly for the family than my JD 430, and weighs 5-600lbs less . I'll put soem pics up on sunday.

Showed Fred, the PSD, some love, and put on some newer tires and painted Alcoa rims. The rims were a set of nasty corroded ones I had accumulated. After taking the crap tires off, I hit them with the wire wheel and painted them up. I wanted to have something closer to the colour of the truck. It is a little more gold looking than I expected, but it doesn't look too bad. The colour on the can said Champagne Mist.
I also painted the hubs with a black rust paint.

The phrase "Polishing a ****" comes to mind. :)

Swapped the turbo. I removed the Banks fast spool turbo, and put original turbo back on. This time with a Wicked Wheel 2 impeller. The truck was rolling coal too much for my liking. Maybe this will help.

I'd really like to have a wall to wall talk with the guy, or committee that designed this set-up.-cuss The 1999+ turbo and pedestal mounting design is so much better.

Do you think the quick spool was too much restriction?
I had the 1.0 or .9 or mine with the diy d66, worked well.

I wasn't sufficiently impressed with the fast spool turbo, so I switched back to the original...well, with the WW2. Today I checked the Exhaust Back Pressure Sensor tube for restriction...yup plugged. I cleaned it out, so now I'll see if there's a difference. I'm doing things backwards, I know :idiot:, but that's how I roll. lol

hauled my previous powerstroke trailer hauler in for scrap. Barney hauled the trailer many many times> first and last being on the trailer. he gave me almost 9 yrs of faithfull service but body was just unsafe to fix it again. saved the Vac pump, the alt , and the 6 disc indash CD player . my 96 F250 also hauled an 03 Honda Oddessey in for scrap and brought my dad's 93 Aerostar home from his favorite garage who gave him too big of an estimate.

Trailered my '97 shortbed from my brother's farm near Busby AB to Ashern Manitoba, with Rusty.

The weights on the axles were:
Front 1840 kg 4057 lbs
Rear 1710 kg 3770 lbs
Trailer 4350 kg 9590 lbs

I towed it using my WMO cocktail. :)

Did I mention, I did it without an engine fan? o_O
I saw Intake Air Temps of 27C / 80F, and it ran in the normal operating range.
I did see Engine Oil Temps of up to 108.5C / 227F.

Nice Bronco!
Arizona survivor , original body only repaint of bottom green 2001 ish . its for sale because broncos are stupid expensive now. had it sold but when I was droppign it off in Vaugn it stumbled and died cold of fthe trailer so guy backed out. if you have to take your classic to a high end shop every time it burps you shouldn't own on any way. found the filter at the carb sucked it in. needs carb work or a flush. my primary school classmate offered me 25,000 . advertised for 35,000. I'm tempted but might store for the winter and pull the 2" lift out and put it down to stock on 31s. the big rubber seems to scare everybody off.

Dentside XLT Bronco: That is true FordPorn :cool:

It's interesting that most folks who have the silly money it takes right now to buy a super nice older (ready insanely priced) truck like your Bronco, can't figure out that a fuel filter isn't a deal breaker. In the old days, somebody would have tried to chisel you down $500, you would have pointed out that a complete carb rebuild kit is $28 and you'd have settled somewhere in between. Now you get to deal with "I don't fix anything myself" tirekickers.

That Bronco is pretty nice. Sell it to somebody who really appreciates it, but you should get really fair money right now in what can only be described as the silly season.
