Changed the front diff oil. Came out looking like butterscotch pudding. Cleaned up the diff and put in some Royal Purple oil. Now if I could just trade these wheels off for some black ones.

 

Put a fresh coat of semi gloss rustoleum on the frame, cross members, and dropped the spare and painted that area too. Gonna spray the bed supports, behind wheel well areas, inner door lips, tailgate lip, etc with fluid film before winter too.

 

Awesome!

 

Thanks!

Thinking about keeping the spare in the bed for winter. It'll be a lot easier to keep the bed supports clean from salt. But then if I need the bed, that'll be annoying.

 

2008 XL what did you do to prep before painting?
Looks really good!

 

Thank you. I just pressure washed, let it dry for 24 hours and then painted. Whole thing took about an hour and 5 spray cans of paint.

 

haha, I keep mine in the bed now. I like having that space opened up for some reason. my attitude is the beds too small anyway, whats a tire. haha

Was out trying to find someone to repair my frame on my 04 that has rusted out

 

With all the rain here in NC I found out my 3rd brake light is leaking. Either again or still. I thought I fixed it a few months back but I guess not. Time to try it again. Int he mean time she's a little wet inside.

 

On Sunday after 8 inches of rain in two days I went to check my in laws land out. An overflowed wash area took out our new culvert so I drove across the field. I did well until I hit an area of soup from a filled in tree hole where trees had been pushed and the ground covered. Immediately dropped in the rear.

 

Well damn, now the underside of your truck is just as pretty as the topside

 

You could always get a spare tire mount for a Bronco, like this one: http://www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=C...%3D14978428809
Or one similar from either eBay or Amazon. Or even aftermarket.

 

Finally got around to mounting the taillight bar I got last August (8/2014).
This late installation has a number of mitigating factors:

1). weather timing (no covered area to do vehicle work).
2). apartment complex having rules against working on vehicles.
3). mounting only (since I'm not good with electrical sh*t, gonna have to head down to my dad's to see if he can assist).
