I went back to Green Ridge on Sunday. It was wetter than before. I think I'm gonna have to go back some time during a thunderstorm. That could get really interesting.

Damn you! I bet anytime this week or weekend you might be able to catch a storm there. This past Monday's would have been nice to catch out there.

Oh, my e-mail inquiry about the gated ORV trail is being forwarded to the Green Ridge State Forest office.

If it makes you feel better, while I was there, my friend noticed my bronco looking kind of strange while it fiexed... turns out I have broken my front passenger body mount. Though I think that may have had something to do with a certain pipe under a certain body of moving water.

Damn! The one under the passenger sear or the one in the core support? I actually have lost a washer on the bumper bolt or some thing. The passenger side of my front bumper shakes. :banghead The guy at my office was like, "You guys were going how fast down that trail?!?!?!"

Was this the Jeep guy?

I broke where the body bolts to the frame, right behind the bumper on the passenger side. So I guess it's behind the core support.... I didnt know that was "in" the core support, but if you say so.

Yeah, the core support bolts to the frame there. Then the fenders to the core support. That is where mine rust out last summer. I used the core support from my parts bronco as opposed to buying a new or junk one.

I'm still trying to clean out the stains from the broken liqueor bottle. Gotta love the smell of alcohol and rotten milk.

Last night I took the top off, opened the doors and tailgate, took out the rear seat, and hosed everything. Then scrubbed with Tide. I think today I'm gonna pull the front seats and do the front half of the carpet.

I'm also finally running wireing for that rear spotlight, among other things.

Cool. I need to borrow a steam cleaner to do the carpets in mine. I started with one once. It was doing a good job, but it was too cold out for it to dry nicely. I still have to do something about my exhaust. :shrug

Did you call the MVA yet to see if you really need to have a muffler? I wouldnt put one on if you dont need it. Espeically considering how good it sounds now.

Not yet, but I'm thinking about seeing if I can salvage part of the tail pipe and just piping it up to the pipe that's left. I hate the backfiring I have though.
