Wow great news!!!
Alright great information and much appreciated. I did have a bit of a hiccup, im trying to outsource some of the major work because of my mechanical deficiency and lack of tools for the big fixes. Could you look over this attached quote and maybe some advice please. It would be nice to know that the only person im getting in bed with is my wife. Any help is appreciated. Stay safe and God Bless

And I hate to be asking for something without a bit of contribution back to the group….I can offer no charge services in Holistic Health. Its an appropriate way to discover whats under the hood, so to speak. But without all the blah blah youre doing things all wrong. This way is much more personalized and really adheres to each individuals benefit and improves your strengths.If anyone would like to have a free health history session, please connect.
Thank you for your time and happy restorations my friends:)

Yo Brent,
On the repairs;
My vision is poor so I'll try to offer costs from Chilton that to me, are very close to Ford dealership charges for an 88 Bronco:
Window Motor No info
●DIY; Check the pressure of all tires, including your spare, at least once a month when the tires are “cold,” meaning that the vehicle hasn't been driven for at least three hours. Recommended air pressure for your tires can be found on the placard typically placed on the driver's side door jamb.
Recommendation for tire rotation every 5,000 to 8,000 miles is good! Can extend it and have an alignment based on: your Bronco pulling to one side or another, and irregular tire wear.
"To maximize tire performance, inspect for signs of improper inflation and uneven wear, which may indicate a need for balancing, rotation or front suspension alignment. Tires should also be checked frequently for cuts, stone bruises, abrasions, blisters, and for objects that may have become imbedded in the tread. More frequent inspections are recommended when rapid or extreme temperature changes occur, or where road surfaces are rough or occasionally littered with debris.
Service punctures in the tread area only. Never attempt to service punctures in the tire shoulders or sidewalls. In addition, do not service any tire that has sustained the following damage:
f2891c.gif

  • bulges or blisters
  • ply separation
  • broken or cracked beads
  • fabric cracks or cuts
  • tires worn to the fabric, or with wear indicators visible
  • punctures larger than 6.35mm (1/4 inch)

Yo,
We run our tire pressure @ 35 PSI.
  • Check the pressure of all tires, including your spare, at least once a month when the tires are “cold,” meaning that the vehicle hasn't been driven for at least three hours. Recommended air pressure for your tires can be found on the placard typically placed on the driver's side doorjamb.
