Bronco Connection Meet/Greet Sat Oct 13th

[casadejohnson]

Here is a panoramic I took with my phone and a few of the projects they have under way. The Green one has me intrigued, the paint job is exceptional but I have a love / hate thing happening with the color. I just can't decide if I like it or not. I would love to see it when its done!

Ohhh! Almost forgot about the unicorn.

Did you guys notice that the Stroppe had automatic trans but no power steering? I thought that was a little odd. I am sure this isnt the only one.

I can't say it enough how fun and cool it was to meet everyone. Back in the Nebraska thread (which is where the Bronco Connection grew from), chadomatic mentioned that there was a place just south of Norfolk aways that has a wheeling park, with tubing and camping. Maybe that is one thing we could do sometime for a get together. It would have something for everyone so that the family wouldn't have to be there just for the Bronco event. Check it out and let me know what you think. I am going there now myself ...

I checked out the Broken Arrow, looks interesting. I see we just missed this years Jeep to the Leap in September. We may have to create our own Bronco to the leap event.

Finally found a little time to post a couple pictures, enjoy.

I really would like to duplicate those outer bumper supports. Like I was telling Dan, I don't know why Ford never did this to strengthen the bumper. Seems over the years I bent a few bumpers in the winter time sliding into this and that. Damn fat tires! %)

Actually that's the first Stroppe that I have ever seen in person. I learned a few things from Dan as well as Jeremy while we looked it over.

Same here, I've only seen them in pictures.%) Still hoping to open a barn door with a big surprise inside.;D

A few of us were unable to make it up to Norfolk, NE for the Bronco Connection meet and greet...so we had out own mini version in Papillion, NE yesterday. Here is a pix of some of the Broncos lined up. Thanks to all the guys that made it over. Very cool.

I think next year we should meet at Bronco connection and then head to Broken Arrow. Looks like a cool place for us trail riders.

The only thing I regret about our Bronco Connection meet was there was not enough time for us all to meet and get to know each other better. Was a great start though. Next time we will make a day of it! I like your idea!

Cool, glad you all were able to get together. Looks like a nice group of Broncos. Any more pictures to share?

Agreed! A little more time would have been nice. I like gritz suggestion as well. We will certainly have to put something together again. I had a great time at the Connection.

If anyone in the Omaha area is looking for a storage spot for their Bronco over the winter, we found a farmer that is renting out a full outbuilding for $50 a vehicle per month. Storage building is next to his house, dogs on site, and has power... he is cool with us coming out there to work on the rigs while stored out there. No contracts or set time, store as long as you like. If interested let me know and I will pass the details and contact telephone #. Farm is south of Plattview Rd out by Plattview High School.

Gunmetal Blue/Gray Pearl Bronco

Another pic of the wife walking around the shop. Everyone loved the Gunmetal Gray Bronco behind her.

That one is mine. Its been uderway since July 2011. I am begining to wonder. I hope it is done by December. So many have passed mine up in the process. Ive emailed Dan several times and dont get a response. Was there any idea of when it was going to be done when you guys visited?

 

[greatguy57078]

It was in the room where they get finished, at least from my perspective. When I go down there they rotate out of that room pretty often.

 

[greatguy57078]

Well I got the rear axle and frame back from the blaster today. Now for the POR15 and then the Chassis Black. And then .... NV3550 kit install? %)

I figured I would post this here as it is Bronco Connection related? :-X

Try and give Dan a call, if you haven't tried that already. I know that he is out on the road alot either picking up more used Broncos or delivering the ones that they finish. I usually have better luck calling. You may get voicemail but call back 15-20 minutes later if you do.

 

[greatguy57078]

Well, I am not trying to be predudice but I really like the black better.

 

[gnsteam]

Looking good! When do you expect to get the body back from Dan's?
