[QUOTE="Fordzuki, post: 1481703, member: 17662"] No real updates on the LJ, I've been eyeing some of the series 98 wheels in 2.5" backspace to solve the tire rub issue, rather than jump up to a 2" spacer. But it's ready to wheel for now... Instead, this is an update on the tow pig. I finally broke down and ordered a rebuild kit for the carb, and received it thursday, so I sat down today and rebuilt it and got it reinstalled and mostly dialed in. I'm not a carb guy at all, in fact this was the first rebuild I had attempted, and I'd say it went rather well. I drove it around a little today and plan to make a trip or two to work with it next week, possible once with the trailer/LJ in tow, just to make sure it's going to be reliable enough to head out to the woods. (and back :haha:) Some of the crud in one of the bowls. Cleaned alot of this out...:eeek: [IMG]http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t64/Dcdatsuns/8ba81eb9.jpg[/IMG] Something else that has always bothered me about the bronco, is a previous repair that had literally collected water, and peeled a, **** you not, foot long, by 8" tall by 3/8"ish thick piece of bondo from the side of the rig, just behind the drivers door, under the top.
