Upper Michigan guy recently Transplanted into the tri cities

Postby superyooper » Sun Jun 07, 2009 10:48 am

Moved out here in Feb. Did the cross country Penske thing. Anyways My names Tom me and my wife and our pup roll in an 89 full size bronco( dont hold that against us lol) some trails we wont be going on i guess. But anyways were into exploring the places few ever see. Big into photography geocaching. I grew up wheeling an s10 blazer my highschool years and friends all drove huge 70's ford trucks. This is my first full size rig and only had it bout a week but im pretty sure its more then capable. Any ford guys on the forum that could teach me a trick or too on wrenching on this beast. 302 fi aod Tranny and borg warner T case. We got lots of camping gear and are ready for any and all expeditions. Could use some help welding on some shackles for the front for a front recover point. Truck has stock hitch i dont know if thats goin to be strong enouph so should i go reese?? but anyways Hey to you all and look forward to breaking some parts witchyah

Holy cow! Hit the enter button after each URL. The pics will line up on top of each other and return this page back to normal size. Nice Bronco. 8)

Fixed it for you.

Welcome and thanks for posting up pics.

(And I'm not saying that you are, but if those pics are from where I think they are from be careful. That is railroad land... or I'm wrong.)
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

That places is back behind where i live kinda up off Deschuets its probobly where you were thinking about cuz there is railroad nearby but i dont go back there and rip it up i just go let my dog run around. He's a yooper dog and needs trails to roam. This city life just aint for a husky that grew up on backwoods trails. but hey thanks for the warning
