What have you done to your rig today?

Took her up to the 50th anniversary Bronco meet up in TN this past weekend and won some stuff.

Saw @Jody Treadway up there. I think he was lost.

Well I picked up the new truck, cleaned it, got it inspected, and then threw money at the dmv for a weighted tag. Stopped by Crossroads tire in Midland to get a price on new tires and ended up buying tires due to the price.

Then changed out the knuckle on the passenger side for another with a better set of joints, changed the oil and then a new fuel filter. Been a busy day.

I hated that I had to miss the Bronco 50th... too much going on at home. Heard it was an outrageous attendance. The Brobergs are good people though- since I couldn't make the event, they are going to send me some SWAG to offset my registration fees.
 
Well another productive day working on the new tow rig. Got the 08+ tow mirrors installed, new shifter boot and factory knob, Riffraff 6637 intake, new belt, new hoses, new tstat, Riffraff billet tstat housing, 05-07 headlights, and 05-07 grille. Been a very productive day.

Don't remind me, mods on the tow rig are going to cost just as much as the trail rig. At least until the trail rig gets a sas, the tow rig is just getting basic stuff.

Finally redoing the steering cooler and installing trans cooler for the future auto swap.

The steering cooler was zip tied to front of grill as emergency install at ivy branch last fall, with Matt Pinkston and Josh Olevsky. Mounted the steering cooler to the front of the trans cooler that will all now be inside grill.

The trans cooler is a factory yj ac condenser.

Results!

Finally figured it out! Combo of 2 failed brand new parts (MAF and distributor) made me pull my hair out for 3 weeks now.
Also built the front upper CA today.
