This is my bothers website, it is fixing to stop working, but it is now! I used to own an 86 Ford Bronco(fullsize) it was nice but after three tranny's, a 302 with absolutely NO power, and a constant 8mpg on the best day, I had to get rid of it. Before I got rid of it however, I fabricated a light bar for it with 4 6" lights, and put some tow hooks on it- no pics though- I also got it stuck down on the Texas Coast line once, but the pic is not on the website. after I sold that I switched to GM :seeya: , wisest choice so far. My bro's s10 is stock with BFG A/T's- dam good tires, he was off roading at a local off road park, and LEAD the way for a jeep with 3" of lift and 32" tires, and a stock chevy fullsize 4x4 with TSL LTB's. Needless to say the jeep guy was paranoid that he was going to scratch his baby-makes me sick  :jester: - the other guy did not want to crush his exhaust pipes so he did not follow my bro in a couple of places.

Thankyou, I always had a good time with that P.O.S. Bronco.

 

Artie, what do you mean, I need off road tires? Which vehicle?

 

Yeah, my bro and I were both in Boy Scouts, and we are both Eagle Scouts :D  I was never able to go to Philmont due to size cocerns-5'7", 250lbs. But my brother went 5 times, including working there the summer of 2001. That is where the pics of ringplace came from. The first time he went there, he let a stump beat him up and forced him to go home. He was pulling up a bear bag, and tripped and broke his arm. My parents and I had to drive all the way from Port Aransas,TX (Texas coastline) to philmont to pick him up. It was interesting, though I do wish I could have gone:(

The blazer has 30k on bfg a/t's and they still have good tread, he only got stuck out at Shiloh Ridge once, which is not that bad. But out there on the sand at Port Aransas when he let a girl drive, that had no clue, and she got it stuck. Another time down there was a guy that had no clue, went to close towards the water, where the sand was a mushy mess. I guess my bro shuold quit letting other people drive;)

 

Man, I was thirteen when I got my eagle, if I was to do it again I would wait until I was atleast sixteen, thirteen was too young. Family Life I believe was one of the hardest for me, that and environmental science :D I can't remember Personal Management that much, wan't it the one that you had to do a #### load of stupid excersises like push-ups and sit-ups? Good luck with your trail to Eagle...

Oh alright, I know what you are talking about... thanks for clearing it up.

 

Also, I have my own pic site now, I already posted it on here, it is the thread "what is the best pisture site" it is too hard to copy and paste over and over again, otherwise I would. I have to email it to someone then copy and paste, since I have two email accounts it is kinda easy but still frustrating. The costs of using a free site :angry:

 

By the way...it does have different pictures, one of my bronco topless AND stuck in the sand.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
