Drove the little bronco a short distance today. Still need to go grab the rear drive line. So it was a front wheel drive monster today hahaha. Just wanted to check the fan relay circuit and make sure it stayed cool. Seems to

Since we kept this bronco lower than it should have been with this lift on it I had clearance issues on the fenders. I gave the owner a couple options One of which was going slacker like we used to do in high school and just trimming the bottom corners of the fenders. I did not like that option and neither did he. The other option was split the fender and open it up 3 in. Going inch and a half in each direction front and back. That was the option we went with. I got another set of fenders out of a wrecking yard and borrowed 3 in out of the middle of them. I got the first one almost done and it looks pretty good. Obviously it's going to need some body work but that's not my deal lol I got him a straight and flat as possible

Subtle. I like that. Unless you really know those trucks, you’ll never notice the difference. Good job![cl[cl[cl

Kind of what I was going for my friend. Once you get to painted you'll never know. On another note I'm actually driving it at this point in time and man she is peppy
 
Got that passenger fender All done!!! Well the metal work is all done

Got a power steering working today, also found a couple little issues I had a relay that was loose. It wasn't making constant connection so the fan was not working properly. It got a little hot when I took it out last time and took those pictures on that dirt road. As soon as I got on the road again and started moving it cool right down. But I was cruising today in 100° heat and stop and go traffic and it stayed at 195 all day. Also finally hooked up the brake booster. It has vacuum brakes now so that's way better LOL. Couple more small things to do and it can go home

That's great.
The Fitech I had drove me nuts trying to get it to do the same thing twice, never did.

To be honest with you I have not heard good things about the fitech systems. I did have one issue with an injector connection from the Holly but once I fix that it has been flawless
