What have you done to your Bronco today?

[tasker]

Rolled another 200 + miles up to beach in Maine this morning

 

[Slowleak]

Got everything all shined up, bolted in, and torqued down. Nothing left but steering linkage and brake lines to install. That’s gonna wait until I pull the axles and replace the ball joints and bearings, and fix my camber on the right side.

Cars and coffee early this morning then a small road trip to pickup a Baja center seat and trailer hitch for Project '74.

Had to choose fighting words today...HOA complained about the drip pan and Bronco having a cover on it (they say drip pans are environmental hazards and deem it a "stored vehicle" when covered). I told them to kick rocks, while I wait for my WH order to arrive and placed another order with Dennis Carpenter .

Yeah, because not using a drip pan and letting the rain wash fluids out from underneath and into storm drains is so much better for the enviroment. Sometimes these HOAs have no common sense.

This HOA isn't even an association of "HomeOwners." It's currently run by the developer and HOA management company Still, they clearly don't understand how Broncos work - oil drips just mean it's not running dry!

Christmas came early for project 74. A nice sized package from Tom’s then fedex stopped by to drop off tires. Finally the postman dropped of the new transmission cooler.

Neighbor across the street in our subdivision had a Jeep Cherokee that dripped oil on the street in front of his home. HOA requested it be removed. He did and brought home a primer gray 1950’s pickup and put it on cinderblocks at the front of his driveway. Painted Sanford and Son on the door. Sat there for 2 months. Was awesome.

Well I got the shifter boots fitted and installed. Just need to do the paint thing next

I got a notice from the HOA when I had my MC trailer in the driveway for longer than they thought I should. Made up my mind right then I was not going to live in that environment. Sold the house a few months later and bought 5+ acres a few miles away. One of the best decisions we ever made.

Brought the grease gun out and adjust a few things, ready for the next beach trip Saturday. Quick polish of the slots by hand last night too. Still driving it everyday!

That doesn't look like a Bronco in the background...

Yeah, we are quickly finding out that a conventional HOA is a headache, but ours is basically a racketeering organization. I'm thinking I need to mount a flag on the Bronco to use it as a "flag pole."

Thats the original bronco! It is a 1945 Ford M20 Armored Utility Vehicle.

I was born and raised in San Diego...in my ~30 years there, I never saw this cruising around and wish I had!

Just about ready for paint....finally. Cage was delivered Tuesday, now I have to put the top back on, set the door/windshield gaps, then bolt in the cage.

 

[Slowleak]

Replacing ball joints, bearings, and adding a camber shim. Looks like the same “mechanic” that installed my c-bushings backwards had this spindle off.

 

[NJBronk]

Drove it to work! Finally a few nice days in Jersey…

It is a Krawlers Edge Sport cage. Very nice cage that is well built, and fits great.
