86 Ford Bronco II 4 x 4 with a 2.9L V6 and 31 tires

Man you can't wait to see my new pimp ass forest truck. I bought an 86 Ford Bronco II 4 x 4 with a 2.9l V6 and 31 tires. I dig it. Its similar to the one Eric has. I like the white paint job and red interior combo. They make some nice red shocks and shit so maybe we'll trick her out. Some cat around here has a bunch of them available for parts. It's a good thing cause I think I'm gonna need them. On the way home with it the shifter assembly went out. of course they don't make those any longer so I have to pull one. Good thing the guy in Morriston may have one. Next, it over heats and blows a crack in the radiator. eBay had one for under $100 bucks to the door. Its on the way. I haven't gotten many pics of it yet, been raining to much. I think I may put a few bucks into it and build me a tough little forest/bug out truck. I need something short and small that can scoot through the forest around here and this thing does just that. I can follow most ATV trails with twice the tire clearance and cruise pretty quick out there. I just bought a new set of 3.43 gears which should make it quicker at take off. The tires are a bit more than it was supposed to have so it slows it down some. It has a great rep online and sites like http://www.jamesduff.com and http://www.broncoii.org have tons of nice accesries I can't afford. Pretty shitty but I'll probably have to copy them with my own cuban ingenuity. I like the idea of a tire carrier with the fuel can and hi lift jack. I also want a roof rack that can haul la familias crap if we need to split for a hurricane or whatever. I got that car carrier that I got online for free, maybe I'll plan on mounting that bad boy up there. I think I can cram a bunch of our crap in that with no problem an still maintain control and stability. Steering is a bit buggy but I think fresh suspension and stering stabilizers will tighten the control on those tires. I want to put a lift on it for more clearance as it scrubs in turns a bit but I think I will go with a suspension lift and not a body lift. The suspension will need to handle this road and they say a body lift really affects the ride control. NAyway. I'll get some pics up for everything. Maybe I'll get two up and running by winter and we'll run the forest in them. I found a hound hunters association just around the corner. I may find out about training peaches and cream to hunt this season. If so I'll need a dog box and we're ready to rock. With two trucks and two dogs we got the beginning of our own little hunt club. We'll see.

You are a total jackass. And all who visit your site can see that plain as day. I feel sorry for your kids being raised by a stoner dipshit like you. And you will delete my free speech no doubt as it doesn't suit you..
