Wow, that Wilwood kit looks pretty nice along with the MC and Proportioning valve the whole setup is awesome. What do you think of the performance???

Beautiful Luber that you have there! Enjoy it!!!! ;D

I always enjoy looking at your bronco nice upgrades too. I am sure you have already listed it but I am lazy and don't want to go back and look what size tire's are those and I assume that it is stock lift ?

Thanks. The tires are 235/75/15 and yes the suspension is stock height though I did replace the original front springs with 6 cylinder F100 Moog cargo coil springs.

Thanks. Really haven't driven it too much to fully test the brakes but initial impressions are positive. Still need to adjust prop valve and get out to a more remote area to really test the stopping power.

One big thank you I failed to mention in my earlier post is to DirtDonk (Paul). He is a great resource to this forum and he helped answer my numerous questions on parts I was ordering from Wildhorses. I would have made several mistakes if it were not for Paul and I really appreciate him always taking the time to respond.

Please bring your Bronco to a Good Guys show at Texas Motor Speedway. I would love to see it in person. It's beautiful.

Totally agree! Paul is an asset to this forum. Thankyou Paul

I am so stinking happy she is getting the amount of love she's getting! Very tasteful updates. Still kicking myself for selling! Haha!!

Two years ago today this Bronco came to me. Haven't driven it as much as I should (only 206 miles last year) but hopefully will more now with having recently gone through the brakes and front end. Here it is as of a could of weekends ago in East Downtown Houston.

Nice calendar shot!

TX SS · Feb 25, 2017

Haven't done much to the Bronco in the last year and only put 92 miles on it per the state inspection this week. Got it out this morning for a short drive. Tomorrow is 3 years I've had it.

Still really enjoy it but started to look for another uncut to restomod. That all happened after this encounter a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, I'd say that would do it!
Of course... You could always just buy one like it already built, right?

I should have said no when he offered to let me drive it! I did see where they are down to 24 months delivery time if ordered right now.

Broncos have a new place to rest. Closed on a house yesterday that has a shop behind the attached garage. Drive through setup with shop directly behind house garage. Hope to actually have the Broncos over in it within a couple of weeks.

Thanks, we looked for about a year. The prior owner was using the building for his camper and a small wood shop.

And yes I did get a second Bronco back in April. It is another 1973, uncut, automatic, power steering, etc. It has a good amount of panel rust but is rebuildable. May take the transmission and all related components and put them in the brown Bronco. Still undecided though. I will start updating this thread with progress once I get settled into house.

New pics of garage and Bronco number two. Making more and more progress and hope to be working on Broncos again soon. As pictures show, yellow one is a major project but have a good amount of replacement metal that came with it or that I’ve picked up here and there.

I'm sure the clutter will accumulate quickly. I've intentionally got rid of some things to start over here. I want to keep it as clean and lean as possible in the event I add a lift or a third vehicle into the mix. Right now I can spin the yellow Bronco and still get my truck into the shop if need be.
