yea, get rid of the exhaust flange shit and put in some real tube couplers.

Your body must be splitting apart if you beat on it good like this without a full cage front to back

Only found one crack awhile ago but fixed it I drive it hard but not that often so it’s pretty good and yeah once I get the motor closed up for sure getting some
 
Wayne's engine in Riverside can do your machine work on the heads. Decent prices.
 
Wooooooo put everything back together and leak after leak is think it’s going to be fine making sure ever is torqued but damn this is a pain in the ass especially when they’re brand new seals like my front main that is flinging oil like it’s got a hole in the block

What’s the thoughts on the polished wheels I’m not 100% sold yet but $200 for 5 methods wasn’t something I could pass on
 
Alright super tired of the bronco giving me issues at this point I have been fighting gremlins and am about to wave the white flag so anyone know what could be going wrong truck runs good for about 15 mins and the all of the sudden want to die after CEL comes on (can’t get any codes because initial start up there are no codes and don’t pop up until I drive at idle there’s nothing) smog equipment is all dealt with resistors and plugged all holes and vacuum line ran with me hose the truck gets to a stop and wants to stall put a 130 amp alternator to keep up with the dual fans and it does better. It entirely sure if it’s enough but for one fan should be fine but truck has also started running a little hotter than normal even with both fans on and once I get parked and try to start again it’ll crank for a second and stop and do that until I get a jump pack on it which starts fine but when truck is on battery says it’s good and I charged it the night before
 
Well it’s been a while since I last posted about the truck but have finally gotten it figured out the issues one being the optima battery took a shit on me and that’s why it was always dying warranty handled that should have tried that first and the running hotter than normal issue was a bad head gasket that was hard to spot but got the truck running a back in December and have been taking it everywhere big bear, KOH,and Barstow. Just pulled the trigger on some axles to get 4 wheel drive going again and just waiting on a good time to throw them in. Last trip out at Barstow for the MORE race the hood decided it didn’t like being mounted and ripped the factory bolts through the fire wall so it’s time for a lighter option and alternate mounting solutionsIMG_0621.jpegIMG_0733.jpegIMG_0708.jpeg
Also picked up a new front light bar from project x which probably wasn’t supposed to be sold by the guy.
 
Axles and gearing are coming up on the list of items to install and I’m waiting on gearing that I don’t think is making it so stock gears is staying in plus might go pick up a 9” from my families property. However been very careful about what to buy next year as I promised the wife only one purchase for the bronco a year as in upgrades maintenance and repairs don’t count thinking a cage but the options are all around the same price and not sure who makes the best “kit” any recommendations? I used my in purchase for the axles so planning starts now for next year. Also still need to figure out how I’m going to mount the hood after not doing it for the past few months which lead to me running over my hood in the lawn like an idiot. Time to repair my hood with a fiberglass sooner than I thought

interested to see what you guys think, but in your situation I might consider a 3/4 cage or I think they call it the sport cage. -B pillar back.
I only say that because once you start sending tubes through the dash and floor things start to get out of hand.

My thinking is that…
A 3/4 cage and even a full prefab cage won’t tie into your engine cage to “connect” everything, Including the sheet metal to tie into the body.

unless you are ready to tear the truck apart to do a full cage. a 3/4 might be a good option to knock out in a long weekend, then get you back in the dirt. when you are ready, you can build off that 3/4 cage and push it all the way to the engine compartment.
