What have you done to your Bronco today?

I installed my Duff T-rex arms today. I hate trying to get those stupid c- bushings in so the arms lay flat, but I managed it finally. my poor knees hate me right now. alignment tomorrow.

Little progress on the actual Bronco today, and more on the parts off the Bronco.

If you look close you can spot the new stuff, as small as it may be, in the second photo... lol... This was one of those days were wheels were just spinning double checking parts and figuring out what fits and what doesn't. Finished up the lower shaft, got everything painted and ready to go on with the new column.... after brake lines, power steering, etc... but hey, it's ready;D

Finished my A/C overhaulÂ…..
Don't let anybody tell you that these old dealer added ARA units cannot run cold. I'm getting 7-8 degrees at the evaporator core while idling on a 75 degree day.

Well, not today but yesterday. Attended the Wild Horses Swap Meet. Always fun to hang out and talk Bronco stuff.

Great shot Andy. Glad you made it. Very good turnout I thought.
Sorry I didn't get to say hi, but got to see the Bronco anyway.

I took the bronco on the iowa cruise to the woods Sunday. This is the first time I have gone out of town. I hooked up the trailer to the truck before I left just in case my wife had to come rescue me lol. But the bronco performed like a champ. Almost 350 miles round trip over many different types of roads. The bronco got a fair amount of attention. And my daughter and I had a great time. It is a huge event cars from all over attend. This was the first time I have gone. There were over a thousand cars present in 2019. I don't the final count from this show but I'll bet it's at least as many. I saw one 2020 bronco. And one classic bronco parked along the route watching but mine was the only one participating in the cruise.

NEW H4 headlights and harness...which replaces what I tried to do a couple years back. Looks like I have to dive deeper as the new setup isn't much better.

I drive mine back and forth to work everyday I can. But over the weekend i put my faith in her. Went trail riding with a Yoda truck that knew the trail better than I did. Dropped her off in a mud hole no bigger than she was and framed her out. Since i was wearing flip flops didn't want to step off in the mud so climbed out window and walked/layed on the hood, reached down to lock her in. First time she's been locked in over 2 years. I know, I know rookie mistake not locking in hubs at the beginning of trail. Then took her to the beach the next day and enjoyed the weekend. About 80 miles of no mans land down there. The ol lady was mad at me cause I didn't wash her before we stayed at the beach. Over 600 miles on her from mud to cruising, and didn't skip a beat. First pic...glad she ain't painted. Second pic...wish she was painted.

Amen....I enjoy driving it too much to stop long enough to have it painted one color

Progress... all be it slow progress, but I'll still take it. This dash has fought me all morning so I'm good for the day with it. I think I have about 3 1/2 full days of work into it from start to finish with cutting, welding, paint prep, etc.... Did a three step process with a sealer primer, dupli color ford paint (wimbledon white), and a 2 part clear (eastwood 2X product) all rattle can easy stuff. I told the wife this is as far as my body work goes.

 

[DirtDonk]

Quite the transformation!
