Photo coditions were less than ideal today. Between the AC and the heat/humidity I was just waiting on the condensation to dissapear off the lens. Lighting was not that great at night. I promise to get better pic tomorrow in the sun.

Late night still at work:

For those have not been at Duffs

I really really like their trucks. It goes from mean angry machine to "I want that" to Extreme and then there was that other thing that just made me say Wholly Shit WTF - This is way to awesome!!

This first one is just an awesome truck. Looks beaten up but it is one angry Bronco. I had a chance to take it for a spin around the block and I wish I hadn't.

My list of wants grew exponentially. It handles so nicely and cornered beautifully and its all adjustable. I though my ride was stable on the street. This thing is solid. Its Duffs 4 link suspension

So far I've seen several calendar-worthy pics posted up, so you're off the hook on the beating for now. Hah! Great fun. Looking forward to more.


...Did I just say that?!?!:eek:

Yep, I heard you... Talking in your sleep maybe? Can't be held accountable in that case.

And finally there was this. Its one of the reasons why I am still grinning right now. This is Marks rig. He works over at Duffs. Let me tell you one thing. This man can drive. We went screaming through the streets in that. What a glorious machine......

Go to sleep already. It's hard waiting here for the next batch of pics. ;D
And wipe that silly grin off your face first. It reflects the light off the neon sign outside the hotel window and scares the local bat population.
No wait, upload some more pics first!

What time is your breakfast appointment at Duff's? Any plans for meeting up with some of the local Broncos tomorrow?

This is easily my favorite thread I've seen on here.

I live about 10 miles away from Duff's and still haven't drove my EB over there. Mostly because I'm worried about how much money I might spend! I've only had mine about 2 months, but I should probably have been living at Duff's at this point.

I'll be coming by soon Suzy! Be looking for my red and white '68!

I think you may be the envy of everyone on the forum. It shows what a great guy you are to take the time to share your adventure with us. I keep looking several times a day to check on your progress. Your bronco is looking awsome. It keeps getting me back out to the garage to get mine done! I hope you get some rest and are able to continue on your journey. Thanks again for sharing.

Wow! Nice upgrades! Do I hear EFI in your future (cough cough)...

Take a look at the earlier 66-68 turn signals in the front grill - they are less obtrusive than the ones you have on your rig now and its a very easy swap - might look good with white or orange. Here's a tech article if you're interested in a cheap ascetically pleasing mod.

Oh yeah and if you EVER decide to sell that beauty I'll be first in line with a kidney.

Awesome, I too wait impatiently for updates on the adventure and am saving a special vote for the BD Calendar for this rig and the newest Bronco owner/driver on CB
