So i went to the local junkyard looking to find some new rims and maybe a center console from an explorer, and if i was lucky maybe find a cargo cover for my 86 bronco 2
well i found some decent rims and a console....
here are some pics
the rims were i think $80
and the console was $15



i had no luck on the cargo cover, i guess you win some and lose some..

i know it's not RBV related but i thought i should share my Honda odyssey fl250 go-kart
it's been sitting for a little while so i thought i should rip it apart and repaint it and fix the roll cage(i rolled it last year...going a little fast while turning), also rebuild the gear box, and put an electric start on it :yahoo:

before the tear down
you can see the nice bend on the cage in this pic




got the cage off

no more motor or rear end

yeah i was lucky to find this one. my brothers friend had it in his yard for three years...
it needed lots of work like rebuilt motor, front end and now rear end parts..
it's alot of fun, goes pretty good too
i have a video of my brother drifting it the last time i took it out, (i can;t drift worth sh*t)

the only thing i don't like about it is it's pull start so i have to basically pull my shoulder out to start it, hence why i an getting the electric start for it :yahoo:

My credo
Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
I've always liked those style wheels, and you made out like a bandit on that console. Good scores!

I remeber the odysses from when I was younger those things are so great b/c you don't to worrie about being tall enough to touch the pedals since the gas and break are on the steering wheel. I have pics around heres some where of me when I was like 4 or 5 laying upside down in one after I rolled it, it was my brothers friends and they would let my drive it.
and every time I would drive it I would roll it so they would have to come out and flip it back over for me. my brother is 13 years older than me so I think I was just there enertainment in a small town. just like when they would take me to town with them to use me as bait for girls on main st.
