same mpg here, trouble is I have a super steep pinion angle that will get corrected when the new rear axle goes in.

Hey, I was going around 70 to 75 most of the way and got almost 17mpg with a Bronco in tow ;D (just got home about 30
minutes ago).
It was good seeing you again Rob, glad to see the projects progressed really well and your doing better on the health end.

X2 on the heat, I met a bunch of very nice people this year. The turn out was great for the EB group. It's always nice to actually met people that you only chat with online. Somebody post some pic's, so they know what we're talking about.

Next stop, Big Bear.:)

Great bunch of Bronco's. I have never seen so many Bronco's at once. It was overwhelming. I wish I would have had time to meet and speak to more of you.

Right in there with you Mark - Us larger guys need to pace ourselves (lol) ---- Is was the hottest FFF on record I believe

We had 115 registered Broncos and we broke 100 + or - for the event.

Nice to see everyone as well as lots of nice rigs this year at the show. I'll try to get some pic's up as soon as I can

To my knowledge, no FFF event has been rained out (at least in my 10 years +or-) of event coverage

Recent years have seen brief winds, sprinkles to mild drizzles, cloudy and cold weather as well as countless years of Sunshine !!!!

i think i bailed out a little too early, went in to the park for some fun with the GF and when we came out and i was the last one in the lot... then some guy stopped me as i was leaving and thanked me because he ran out of gas and i was the only guy with a gas gan... guess he helped himself! ;D

Wayne, dude you dissappeared! Everyone else, we need to do a local run to help our boy Wayne out in getting that purty bronco of his DIRTY! when i say dirty, i don't mean some little puddles... i am talkin tijuana hooker dirty!

If you seen 68fords Bronco, He's gonna be waiting for us all the time, on a desert run. That Bronco of his must ride like a Trophy truck, with the suspension he has. It's very nice and well thought out. I hope anybody that saw Wayne's Bronco can appreciate how much time, effort and $ he has put in to it. I know I sure do. Good job Wayne.:cool:

Fab Fords never rains out, show goes on rain or shine. Having said that I don't recall it ever rainiing significantly in the past 15 years or so.

I got the pleasure of checking your rig out, nice! Thanks for the help with the ramp, never leave them out in the 100+ degree sun for more than a few minutes (damn things get so hot, you can't pick them up without gloves).

i cant tell you how much i appreciate people noticing all the details and all the time that went into it. it may not ride as good as a trophy truck, but i can tell you it rides really good, come out to the desert and ride in it!!!!
and after revamping the front suspension this summer and adding my old tripple bypass' from the rear to the front it should ride even better ;D
next halloween ocotillo or wherever, we should all meet.
