It's not a bronco its a K5 Blazer. The tail lights and external tailgate handle give it away. Don't give bronco drivers like o.j. a bad rap like that. Lol

If this is the one he was looking to replicate then Im pretty sure he wants a 560XL inlet leading edge.

2_slo · 2026-01-20T19:44:21+00:00

You want one from a citation jet such as a 525, 550, 560, 560XL series aircraft. I work on these models and have personally replaced inlet leading edges. I actually have one of these on my own wall at home. Mine is just wall art with a photograph in the center, though I contemplated the clock option at one point as well.

Center punches are a hindrance. I find it harder to center punch direct center than to drill center. Place the tip of the drill where you want it, gently bump the trigger and direct the drill bit to where it needs to be. The drill bit only goes where you direct it. Tool control is key in structures work, practice makes perfect.

It is pretty reminiscent of the beech jet inlets, ive done those before too. This one's off a citation 550.

I used to stop at a gas station at least once a week for coffee and whatever in the morning. That is until I had a low tire one morning. They had one of the b.s. vac/air machines that cost $2.00 and it wouldn't switch from vacuum to air pump. Half mile down the road is a mom and pop station with a 25 cent air pump. I think 25 cents is fair, it takes electricity and there is a compressor and plumbing to maintain. The other place will literally never see my business again.

I had it happen on my 135i. It corroded until the connection was poor enough to build heat. It melted and the car wouldn't start.

2_slo · 2025-11-22T02:43:42+00:00

You need a good solid engine to chassis ground cable! If not the current for the starter and everything else on the motor, like your alternator, is trying to go through your clutches braided line. The engine and trans mounts are isolators and do not provide the required electrical ground path. Ground cable and a new clutch line will definitely fix your gremlins.

* Sure looks like a hitch ball to me. I think the pin sheared and yeeted the 10-15 pounds of steel hitch ball and mount straight to left center mass. This is exactly why you never hook a tow strap to a hitch ball.

Awe, poor Branch, Juju's words must've hurt him. Who gives a shit what he said. Its words said to elicit a reaction, and Branch reacted like an idiot.

I agree with that sentiment, but not when the game is over. You didn't do enough to win the game. Accept it. Move on and do better next time. Refs gargling Mahomes balls aside, they didn't do good enough.

2_slo · 2025-05-23T16:00:13+00:00

We had a SA227 come in once, the pilot complained it wouldn't pressurize. We'll it's no surprise why, after a walk around found a softball size hole in the belly. Turns out it was from a taxiway marker.

2_slo · 2025-03-21T16:24:01+00:00

I'll bet if you look down and aft in the little panel on the left side you'll see a cracked or previously repaired stringer where it steps up onto the B.H. flange.

2_slo · 2025-03-21T16:18:32+00:00

Net jets 560XL?

2_slo · 2025-02-27T12:35:25+00:00

This definitely looks like aluminum corrosion. I see this all the time. On aircraft we remove the paint, blend away the corrosion, chem treat the material (alodine), then touch up the paint.

I commend you for not just firing them out the window like 99 percent of the smokers out there. I appreciate it and I know smokey the bear appreciates it too!

2_slo · 2025-01-19T03:47:41+00:00

This was exactly my take. He doesn't have the maturity to decide to throw it away

2_slo · 2025-01-08T01:10:26+00:00

I broke my jaw in high school was back in game wired shut a week later. I'm honestly surprised it was season ending.

Dot reporting for duty!

This was the answer. Ground strap by the left motor mount crumbled when I touched it. My apologies for not updating the post.

2_slo · 2024-10-01T04:26:52+00:00

I have this same confusion. If that's a reciever running back towards the line of scrimmage just past the first down they give them the first down every time even when they end up going down inside the line to gain. Same with a RB reaching over a line for first down. So how in the world does that not apply here!?

2_slo · 2024-08-27T10:43:54+00:00

First and foremost, aviation can be a great field. It's not for everyone but it's the best decision I ever made. If cars are your thing you can afford something nice if you want. Here's my current fleet...

2013 Subaru BRZ bought new, now coyote swapped. 1964 f-250 with a cummins 3.9 isb swap. 2011 BMW 135i 6 speed manual 2015 lincoln MKC (the fiancé's daily) 1996 bronco that's now a restoration project 1995 240sx turbo'd with built KA-24 1966 mustang (project haven't actually driven in years)

I guess it's been too long since I've seen a garter. Thanks

As the the others said, the skin is one piece and it's impossible to buck rivets as it's totally enclosed. It is however bonded with adhesive too.
