Who needs to dig out a blazer ?

 

Worked on replacing the cat on mine since 9:30 this morning. Took a short break for lunch and just finished her up a little bit ago. The original (102,XXX miles) was getting plugged and was bogging everything down. Put a Magnaflow direct fit on and for what little I drove it is night and day difference!

 

New rear brakes. Passenger side pin was rusted frozen and pad down to 1%. I was able the get the pin free after working on it a bit with a socket wrench, cleaned up pins, bracket bore pin hole, and regreased. I just wanted to clean tires and rotate front to back when I encountered the problem. Caught it just in time before destroying the rotor. New brakes all around are stopping like a new truck now.

 

Finally bought 4 new tires today


Falken Rocky Mountain ATS 30X950R15 C1 104S





Unbelievably quiet and smooth. I'm really likin' 'em

 

Front diff won't lock. Internal problem. Truck is totally useless. I'll tackle that when it's 60° + outside.

Used it to pull the Polaris out whenever it got stuck. When a truck has a hard time pulling 800 lbs. out of a snowbank ... yeah, it's useless.

With snow this deep, even with working 4x4 it would still have been a struggle.

 

replaced lower intake gasket, would be back on the road by now but noticed the distributor drive gear was really worn bad, had to order one. at least the rtv will be good and cured by the time its ready to be fired back up.

 

Switched out my stereo amp, previous amp caught on fire the other day.. Opened her up and the caps exploded..

Messed!

 

My rear wiper blade finally self-destructed. Luckily I caught it right away before scratching the glass. Decided to go with replacements and glass treatment all the way around (I've been a good boy and deserve it). Went with the trico neoforms on the front and a standard trico on the rear. Also ordered the trico view glass treatment which I hear is awesome and got the order over $50 for free shipping.

 

Ran all the trucks today . Snows melting too..





Tried to Climb the snow pile with the bronco but it was too soft.

 

Broncos ARE pretty soft...it's a Ford thing.
