Only could have used one once a week or so ago. But agree, I rarely used them on my TJ years ago

I used to keep my gym clothes and school books in one.

You really should wheel it a few times before adding a locker/s

Totally agree here. If you're gonna wheel the s*** out of it maybe if not ehhh you will be fine until your not then figure out if you really need them. I will say your rig turned out very nice lockers will lead you to body damage at some point.

Not wrong there!

Finally with the decals. Really finishes this thing up. Of course there are lockers , a winch and headlights to buy. But this is good enough since my first child is due to be born soon.

Had a nice coffee with @yotadude520 this morning on his way to Denver. Thanks for letting me drive the 60 with the 3rd pedal I always wanted .

Hoping this new cap helps with the burping fluids per the v8 swap thread. TBD.

Also added another exhaust hanger since my oem/hybrid middle hanger de-vulcanized itself

Oh. Wow. That looks very good. Really nice touch. And congrats on the growing family!

Hell yeah Brian! Looks great with the decals on.

I'd also recommend waiting on lockers, I did some steep rock climbs this weekend and the truck did fine even in 2WD.

Did a small shakedown run with my buddy that we have been working on his turbo 302 Bronco build. Everything ran great.

195F the whole time till I stopped in the small town and barely got to 205. Hell even got 15MPG

How'd the bronco do? I grew up in the back of one of those.

Runs great so far, the charge pipe came off with a loose band clamp but easily solved.

His build is here

Decided to finally create a build thread to document the project and share with the community. What I’ve got: 1996 XL in Portofino Blue with a 5.0L, M5OD, and 250k miles on the original engine. The truck’s been in the southwest its whole life so thankfully no meaningful rust to speak of. The...

Got the retrobrights installed. Had to do two modifications to get it right. The h840 “Toyota” harnesses don’t work off the shelf.

I used one of the universal adapters that come with each headlight to adapt the input to the h840 like this

Then the ground and low beams are pinned wrong on the output of the harness. I just repinned all 4 of those

All 4 low and hi, like it should have always been

I need to do this to my 62 whenever I get around to getting it back on the road.

Serious improvement in light output, and the RetroBrights look correct. Atleast they aren’t JW price
