I dont see how some of you...

[spreadmonkey]

can go for months/years with your bronco partially disassembled or fully disassembled.

I just finished putting on my rear lift from BC (front was already done), with new shocks, and I'm dying to drive it. Unfortunately I can't...my steering wheel is off because I need to replace the turn switch. I had to re-drill and tap the holes in the wheel mount just so I could pull it off to access the switch, and I was very close to saying F work and staying up all night to replace the switch just so I could drive it. As it was I had bronco dreams for what seemed like hours after I finally called it a night.

I've only had it since January and I think I might go crazy if I don't drive it at least once a month.

I can see the responses now..."that's why you need at least three EB's"

I am really thinking hard about an engine swap and the thought of down time is killing me.

here is what mine has been like for over a year.... axle, engine, drivetrain is all in side the garage.

I was lucky enough to have another bronco to drive during the frame of on my 73. But my 67 really needs new rear springs, new master cylinder and a bunch of other little things but I have been putting them off until I can get the 73 road worhty. Thats why you need at least two broncos!!

 

[johnmlebel]

yeah i dont really understand it either, if i start something it needs to get done these year long or longer projects are crazy to me. but each their own i guess

That's quite a sight. What does the 'Danger' sign read?

I don't know if I could ever do that. Not without at least another to drive around. The longest I've ever had a bronco in hibernation was during an engine swap on the 87 I got in high school, and that was about two and a half months.

Sometimes I just sit in mine and go "VRRROOOOOOM!!!"

I was without mine for a year after the wreck. It really sucked. I've always tried to work my upgrades so I limited down time.

I tore mine apart about 10 years ago & it was down for about 8 months. It was tough. More recently, I replaced the front end components & it was down for about 2 weeks & that was tough. I was driving an F-250 work truck & I hated not having my DD. So I try to get things taken care of ASAP, safe & correct, but quickly so I am not out of commission all the time.

LMAO, Nice... ;D

I bought mine, drove it 300 yards, and then took it totally apart. That was over three years ago but I should be able to drive it by the end of the summer.

 

[76MaBronco]

Mine's been apart since 2002...it's all about the cash flow...Life gets in the way as well...Kids are expensive...Came close to starting it in November, then the wife lost her job...I've ordered parts, but it won't be rolling until summer...

 

[trlblazr]

I'm going to name mine snowball cuz thats what happened over three years ago.

 

[phred]

Mine was apart for 9 years. Once I got it to the point of looking like a truck again I would do the same thing as Heus33 and just sit in it and pretend to drive.
I also had another bronco to drive.

 

[trlblazr]

You can always pretend on youtube too.

It really helps to have a driver while you tear apart another.

 

[bmc69]

It's what happens when you are working on a '66, a '69, a chopped '76 go-trailer, a '76, a '78 and a '79 all at the same time....and have a couple ATVs, 4 or 5 boats, a '61 T-Bird and a some F-250/350s that demand their share of attention too.%)

 

[sstlaure]

I bought mine September 2002 and still aren't any where near to driving it.

When I started I had no kids - I now have a 2 and a 5 year old.

Between time & money it's tough sometimes.

Driving my Taurus just doesn't have the same appeal as my Bronco.
