Boss Man Sam's Build Thread

Well the whole family wanted to get some photos so we could use them for our Christmas cards. Here are a few of them. The closeup in front of the white barn is the one we used. Note we are all sporting WH t-shirts!

All great pics, the closeup will be perfect for your Christmas card. All the more meaningful, since your family worked right along with you on the build.

I bet Boss Man Sam is smiling down and very proud!

Well since I am mostly done on the Big Bronco I started doing a miniature one to have something to do in the winter months... Probably will not take that long but at least I am having fun. Gathered a bunch of parts to make this as close to the real one as I could. I did Order some goodies from some of our vendors last night to "add" to the big one since they were all having Black Friday Sales

A couple years ago. Before I got my bronco. I had to have trigger finger surgery on both hands. So to keep myself busy and for a little physical therapy for my hands I built this hobby level rc Jeep to match my yj. I know it’s a Jeep but it is still a cool little truck I think

Well the mini Bronco is finally done. Took about a month or so on an off but I really think it turned out good.

Well over the weekend I put on some "Christmas Presents" The Taillight surrounds are from JBG and the tray is from WH. The directions from WH says that you "can't use" this with a prop rod and regular latch. I beg your pardon but it can be done. Some careful measuring and cutting/ drilling etc and it was done. I also used Stainless Nut inserts in the header to attach the pieces with Stainless bolts. I still have a Tach from Tom's to install but ran out of time.

Quite a while since I posted about this build. I got a "new to me' steering wheel from a member here and finally got it put on. I still have a Tack that needs installed but have not got there yet. So much to do. My FIL & MIL finally turned over the farm to the wife and I so it is non stop most of the time.

Yes, it has been a while! Thanks for the update. Very cool looking wheel. I like the style a lot. But how is it for a visibility with the gauges?

Actually visibility is good. I am still a bit disappointed about the billet surround for the speedo. with my height I cannot see the Temp & fuel very well. I have to bend over to the left to check them!

Thanks for that review. I actually like the billet surround, but haven’t personally used one so I didn’t know about the visibility issue. Which is already an issue if you’re tall.
