Thought I'd share a trans cooling story; maybe useful for someone. My Bronco has a stock 302, C4, 4.11 gears, 32" tall tires. For years I had a copper 4 core radiator with internal trans cooler and a large tube and fin cooler mounted about an inch in front of the radiator core. I don't know...

Yesterday it occurred to me how much easier to live with my Bronco has become over the years. After a seven year build I've been driving it now for about 15 years. At first it seems like there was always some sort of problem cropping up. Minor stuff, but it wasn't uncommon to be pulled over to...

My girlfriend and I are planning to run as much of the Rimrocker trail as we can in mid May. I'm guessing a good part of it might be too snow covered to travel on, but I'm hoping we'll find detours around any impassable areas. Anyone have any experience with this trail? Any advice? Or going to...

Are these the same as early Bronco seats? At $100 each, maybe not a bad deal? https://www.hemmings.com/parts/item/Interior/Seats/Vintage-Mustang-Bucket-Seats-1965-1970-Lot-of-33/24053.html?utm_medium=email&utm_source=saturday

A friend sent me this auction link. I already have a 1970 Bronco, but the Rokon and the Thiokol have always been on my list of things I want/don't need/don't have space or money for... minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/ctd/d/mora-online-auction-private-collection/7291518518.html

I was looking to order something from Tom's today - and realized Medford OR is in a bad spot right now. Fires causing their area to be evacuated? Jeez. I wish them well. They may have more to worry about than filling orders.

Saw an ad for this event in the new Bronco Driver. Anyone know what's planned? Location? Almost right next door to the WI/MN border where I live. Good time of year for me too...

Interesting thread about the Gold Camp Road in CO. Some discussion about 2150 carb tuning for altitude. Can someone with this experience fill me in? I live about a thousand feet above sea level, have a stock 302 with 2150, a box of different sized main jets, a vacuum gauge and assorted hammers...

Wow! That worked! Installed an equalizer hitch today on a 24' enclosed trailer. I'd been using this to haul my Bronco and M416 camper trailer. About 9,300 lbs total, behind a 2012 2500 Chevy HD. The equalizer setup turned it in to a whole different rig. No more white knuckles on a windy...

Liking these so far. 235/85-16 Pirelli Scorpion Mud. Only radial mud terrain of this size I've been able to find with a C load rating. Haven't had a chance to play off road with them yet, but so far so great! 2-1/2" suspension and 1" body lift. No rubbing anywhere, even steering full lock.

Now that the superfund site in my shop is sealed off by a concrete floor, I decided to make an attempt at fixing some leaks on my 1973 302. I'll pass along a lesson or two that I learned. Before I started tearing things apart to find coolant leaks I used a coolant system pressure tester (found...

Especially in magazines I've been seeing a lot of E rated tires going on Bronco-sized vehicles. Talk about how good they are off road when aired down, etc. I use E rated tires on a 10K lb GVW trailer and truck - but I don't see how they would be a good choice for a four thousand pound vehicle...

In my never ending quest for tall skinny mud tires in a C load range - ran across these. Anyone tried them? https://simpletire.com/pirelli-lt235-85r16-1488800-tires

I'm hauling my Bronco and a small off road camper trailer inside a 24' enclosed trailer. 10K lb trailer GVW. Fully loaded I'm about 700 pounds under the trailer gross (weighed at a truck scale.) Towing it with a Chev 2500HD pickup, 11K lbs max bumper pull tow weight. It all works, I hauled from...

The title of this post will seem pretty obvious to anyone who's been to Moab. What maybe isn't so obvious is that it's a fun place to go even if your Bronco isn't all built up. We went this spring with my very mildly built truck. 32" Super Swampers, rear locker, 2.5" lift, otherwise stock...

My enclosed trailer loaded with my Bronco and off-road camper trailer weighs 9200 lbs. Trailer gross weight is rated at 9990lbs. I'm looking at buying a tow vehicle with a max tow rating of 9400lbs. Which number does the DOT pay attention to if I get checked? Am I OK as long as the actual...

Today I started having an intermittent ignition problem. Stock 302 with battery coil ignition. Still using points. Cuts out for a few seconds then starts running normally again. Got back to the garage before I could try to diagnose anything. I'm thinking maybe bad ignition switch or a wiring...

I went to the scale at the truck stop today - wanted to see if the enclosed trailer I already bought had a high enough gross weight rating to haul my Bronco and M416 camper trailer. Turns out that it does. Good thing. Maybe should have done this first, but I was in a non-linear mood when I...

I'm looking at buying a 24' enclosed trailer. It has a torsion suspension. The price is right, and it's tall enough to fit my Bronco. Anyone have any experience to share with this type of system? To me, springs with an equalizer rocker in the center is the way to go - smoother ride and easier...

I'm in a campground 250 miles from home and I have no high gear. Was playing at Gilbert MN off road park the last couple days. Trans temps normal, no burnt smelling fluid. Shifts and operates normally in all other gears. Kickdown Rod moves freely, modulator hose is still hooked up. No visible...
