Title: Introduction - New guy Post by amtarsha on 03/15/08 at 20:11:45
Hey fellas,
I found this site through Don, who I met on a bronco forum. My name is Alex, I've been stationed here in Altus for about 3 years, but haven't had a 4x4 until about 4 months ago, when I bought a 1992 Ford Bronco fullsize with the 5.8L 351W out in Arizona and drove it back. Work thats been done since I've owned it: I removed the electronic transfer case, and swapped in a manual transfer case, and manual hubs. I added some foglights and a very important communication device (Yeah just trying to make the CB sound cool) Today I replaced everything for the cooling system, radiator, water pump, thermostat and housing, heater core, and all hoses. - Yay she no longer overheats, nor does the belt squeal! I'm sure I've done more (My wallet proves it), but thats the big things that I'm happy are done. A little about me: Enlisted in the Air Force, Electronics Technician by trade, originally from Arizona. 21 Years old, and somewhat new to wheeling, trying to learn all I can and take it slow. I like long walks on the beach, and moonlit dinn... oops wrong forum. Without further ado, heres a pic of the rig: I look forward to chatting with you guys and hopefully coming out and learning from you guys. Cheers! -Alex |

I'd love to come it just really doesn't look good for while now. They just told me today they need me to run a new shift which will be Friday thru Tuesday out on the base. I;m not sure how long they're talking but it might be a few months before I have a free weekend now.
I'll find out more info and let you guys know, but I'm pretty sure I can't make 4/5 unless I take leave. I'll keep ya updated when I find out exactly what their plan is for me. Thanks for the warm welcome! -Alex |
