Mounted up the ARB compressor and plumbed line to the diff, also adding on-board air components. Finally using an air tank that Mike hooked me up with years ago, thanks again for that!

That's critical for many of us as well, but I'm only 6'. I still have to hunch over at small to medium intersections to see the stoplight.

Since this is fresh in your mind, you want to come out and troubleshoot mine?

I am sure Willem is so excited to be driving this cool rig! I know I would be and I hope in 9 years I am enjoying the same situation with my son!

Is it possible to own a bronco that doesn’t leave a trail of fluids? I’m trying like hell to find out! Took it out last night and hammered it around for a few and parked it, this morning nothing is in the driveway.

I can't seem to keep either axle sealed up. I think I have the rest of it done and the rear only leaks after it's been off camber. The front tho... seeps most of the time!

It’s been a while... no excuses. Plumbdoctor has worked his magic and the city of Boulder will have to contend with a kid that won’t stop grinning. Outdoor pics coming soon.
