I follow a guy (Venture4wd) who posts, weekly You Tube videos of his travels, living out of his Jeep. Well in last weeks video, there is a nice uncut red ranger Bronco at the 15 minute mark. The Bronco was in downtown Creede Colorado.

Here is the video link.

Great looking Bronco on the outside, but there must have been some virus on the inside. The driver looked to be wearing a mask ;D

Or a lot of mold. I remember finding grass and mold growing in the carpet, one very wet spring.

Good morning all.

Yesterday, what started out as an other Bronco sighting. Turn into the wife and I helping a Bronco brother and his wife out. We sighted this Bronco traveling down the main drag ("O" street) in Lincoln. My wife took a picture as we caught up with them and my wife exchanged a hello as we drove along. As it goes while driving in traffic we soon where several cars ahead of them. A few blocks later from my mirror, I noticed them slow down and their flashers begin to flash. So we quickly found a place to turn around to check on them. And yes they needed some help. The Bronco had stalled in the heavy traffic. As my wife helped direct traffic around us, I helped push the Bronco backwards down the street to a nearby driveway to a business. The Bronco owners Neal and his wife (sorry forgot her name) where on a day drive from their home in Omaha. The issue with the Bronco was vapor locking of the fuel going to the recently installed Holley Sniper EFI. Neal said this happens occasionally on hot days in slow, stop and go traffic. Something he is struggling to solve. So as we waited for the Bronco to cool down. We had a very pleasant 30-45 minute visit about what else, Broncos, and we exchange phone numbers to stay in touch. Once the Bronco cooled down, it started right up and off they went.

I'm so glad we where there to help a Bronco couple out. And what started as a simple sighting, turn out to be a great meet up.

Oh I almost forgot, Neal is a member at CB.com. He said he doesn't post much, but spends a lot of time learning from us all.

Very cool story, especially when you can help a fellow EB owner out and they are also a member of the forum! :cool::cool::cool:

Was up in Charlevoix, Michigan over the weekend, went to Cross fishery to get some smoked whitefish and saw this beauty just down the road.

That's a super clean looking rig. I was eyeballing wheels and caps like that on the Detroit Steel Wheel website a few days ago. I think it's a good look. Did you catch the tire/wheel size?

I think the tires were a 245, and the wheels were definitely 17's. The rear license plate frame has Rocky Roads on it, I am guessing they built it.

Looks good!

Wheel caps look like 68-72 Chevrolet

Amazing SS! Great looking truck but I wouldn’t ever have thought an ICON. The owner probably likes it that way!
