What have you done to your Bronco today?

[Vincen]

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

I’ve been planning to add that very cage to mine.

Arts and crafts for me! It’s much darker than in the picture. Or my eyes see it that way.

I’m liking this camber shim from Tom’s. I had 2 degrees of positive camber. Now I have .5 degrees. Waiting on new rotors and I can button it back up….

It's the little touches like this that make it so much more!

Yes it ran great (the Dana 20) from what I can remember from 20 years ago. Never popped out of and shifted smoothly.

I was just going to wire wheel and rattle can quick, as I’m trying to hurry this Bronco along…

But that hasn’t happened yet. Because I keep thinking you have the body off, you might as well make it nice. What’s the big deal. I’ll make up the time on some part that’s not as crucial or hard to pull out. But they are all crucial I guess.


Then 2 weekends go by of sand blasting waiting on the rebuild kit and paint in the mail. Not to mention the extra 2 to $300 you spend. Buying a rebuild kit and quality paint. Vs the 1hr of wire wheeling and 15 bucks on a rattle can.

Man I’m never getting this done. I work on it every weekend and every night after work lol!

Anyway, i kinda needed to that thanks!!!!

Decided to put it in my easy bake oven. It did not say to in directions so do at your own risk!!! Last picture is before. Came out like glass. It’s por15 engine enamel

New rotors and pads….

Heating it up makes the paint smoother? Looks really good. Kind of a shame it will be under the bronco when it’s installed.

I baked it after it the paint was dry. 170 for an hour. Just guessed on temperature and time. I think I’m going to try it with my block. I think if I lay the block down on the back of engine stand causing the block to be vertical. I could put a metal trash can over it and use a heat gun and blankets to get it up 2 temp.

Project creep is only real in hindsight

That said, once you finish, you've got to make up that time missed from enjoying it! If you're giving it this much effort, it will undoubtedly be awesome

How do you like driving all open like that? Tiring on long drives? Wind noise etc. I don’t have AC and have thought of throwing on the tube doors with a family cage bikini top.

Found this mess when I pulled my drivers side spindle. Looks like the seal wasn’t sealing. It’s nothing a checkbook can’t fix. New axle is on the way….

 

[DirtDonk]

Probably the seals had never been replaced. Probably got some water in there, and never dried out. Maybe hub and spindle maintenance was low on the list. I always packed my spindles with grease, hoping to avoid such issues.

Been that way for over 20 years....wouldn't know any different. It was cold , 48 degrees so you dress in layers. Many a thumbs up when people see you rolling down the highway at 80+!

 

[mdainsd]

Got the new tires ont the new rims. Started detail painting of parts to go onto the chassis.

 

[SGM_JakeAlex]

Finally started tearing into the new to me 75.

 

[DirtDonk]

It’ll be a long, sometimes frustrating, but always interesting and rewarding, drawn out process.
Have fun!

I managed to fry the wiper delay module I got from @toddz69 I'm not sure why it died but I did leave it on for awhile while I was winching someone out

 

[Threepointtwo]

I rebuilt the Dana 20.
