I picked up my bronco for 800 bucks lmao

nice

I put a battery in it and drove it up on to my trailer

The guy I bought it from was pretty upset, he had it for 4 years and could get it to run

retard

what is a test light

I have a slightly better than stock 351 I’m putting together to drop into it for a rebuild

Nah it was straight up a junk battery, he couldn’t jump it to start it but never bought a new battery

wanna good tip

always check your lug nuts on a criagslist purchase

or your tire falls off going 70 a day after you buy it

bc the cunt finger tightend it

I check them after every purchase

live n learn

Even after tire shops

No one knows what a damn torque wrench is

>mfw mechanics left my dip stick pipe thingy out when they replaced my starter bc i couldnt get the goddam bolts off myself

I’ve gotten to the point I don’t even let them mount tires anymore on my personal trucks. I just block the truck and take the tires in to be balanced

They did a what now

left this

unattached

so oil went fucking EVERYWHERE

Yeh I knew what you meant I was just wrapping my head around the stupidity

It’s okay took my diesel to the ford house and they forgot to tighten the filter

I was a little upset because 1) I thought my engine started pissing oil and I was upset
2) there is now a black spot in my driven

same but at least i got a free oil change

Yeah, im just done taking my be vehicles in for anything that’s not major

I’d expect that from jiffy lube

Paying a ford tech 500 bucks for fluid swaps and getting a leaking oil filter made me a little angry

@baconreclaimer Cleveland or Windsor?

Windsor

Has edelbrock intake, lunati cam but I can’t remember the lobe specs, rebuilt engine minus the crank, and I’m debating whether to throw my 650 carb on it or get a summit EFI Kit

I’d like to throw some heads on it too but I think I’m going to save that money for the rest of the build, keep it simple and maybe do something a little more powerful with the engine I’m pulling

Still planning out streetable do I want it, potentially will be my daily so thinking 4” lift and suspension kit, upgrade fuel pumps and tune the carb, dual exhaust but nothing super loud set up the bed for 4x4ing and bug out shit

Definitely repaint it and eventually redo the interior, floor panels are bed lined already

If youre going bug out i would keep the carb. Much more serviceable in a SHTF situation

Theres not much that can go wrong to the point you cant fucker it to get it somewhere better suited to repair

That’s my thought process, maybe save the EFI shit for something else

With a good tuned 650 I should still get about 15 mpg

Which could get me about 350-375 miles each fill up
