Diagnosed what was going on with the front end today. With all the spring potholes I managed to hit a few big ones & then had to hit the brakes pretty hard at other times because people decide they want to turn at that street 15' ahead of them or step off the curb as they hit the crosswalk sign in passing. Gotta love those people that do that "I hit the button so they have to stop!" Well yeah we do but give drivers more than 20' notice dumbass!

Anyway, turns out the DS upper control arm I replaced 3 months ago is bent again as well as the outer DS tie rod end. So I have to find an aftermarket upper control arm that's stronger or get another stock one & weld reinforcing braces along it to stiffen it. We turned the tie rod in 2 full cranks so the truck doesn't want to make lane changes for me, although it is kind of cool seeing as I only have to steer to the right because it would pull a left hand U-turn for me if I let go of the wheel.
It's tough finding beefy aftermarket suspension parts, so I may go the weld braces on a new one route.

 

Washed it, and then drove to work and waved it goodbye for another couple days LOL

 

i added the k & n sticker


and i took the bronco in the woods

 

I washed mine, tire shine and everything, only to come outside and fine it covered in bits of grass from my dad mowing the lawn.

 

i started painting some more panels and messed around with more lighting i figured a couple things out and i think i need a new ashtray outlet for the light? but i wouldnt know and dont know how to install a new one?

 

Finished painting, let me tell you, i think the duplicolor paint is the best iv ever used so far.

Spacers on, grill painted, just need to do the bow next weekend.

I set the Blazer on fire with my sidekick...

 

ummm excuse me? lol

 

Took a couple of pics of mine - though it hasn't been washed in almost a year - in front of a shop that shares my drag name...

 

I'm STILL trying to find tubular upper control arms that aren't insane in $. I might just go with a RC 2.5" lift kit for $430, use the shocks & arms & keep the rest if I want to lift it another 2.5". Or I modify the new stock ones with bracing etc for the extra load they bear.
I do want more lift... but I'm going to be doing a lot of highway, so that's an issue with lift & more air under it.
