Body work and paint

I am a novice body and paint person, my wife already mentioned that I should have a paint shop shoot the Bronco! LOL

My experience has been that as soon as they see what drive-train and that the EB is a "classic" they fangs come out!

I have the option to take it to TJ and have it done down there but I wil quote San Diego first, some place like Maako or one day should suffice! it will not be a show car.

I am leaning towards gray, I liked yellow and she wants red. I still quite a ways from it, but I plan to do the body work myself.

just git back from Mexico, awesome time with family!!!! Bronco 4 day build marathon next weekend!!

 

[G's Baja Bronco]

man, I was hoping to spend a few dollars this month on the EB and the vacation, new lawnmower and Stang front tires got on the way!! I am still aiming to test drive it this weekend!!
I only need 100 dollars (wishful thinking) for changing eh engine oil, filter, transfer-case oil and rear end oil.
Some times life gets on the way of the Bronco, I cant complain, the vacation was beast! the lawnmower was needed a year ago and my son cut front and rear lawn happily, as the old mower would stall every few minutes! as for the stang tires, they could have lasted another few months, but as they get close to the wear marks they become flat magnets, one got a flat and decided to replace both, damn performance tares are expensive! but they claim they will last 40K, gotta see that!

just got the Engine oil and filter, I want to drain all of the engine oil including cooler. I got 10 quarts and a new ph8A filter.

[G's Baja Bronco]

thank Mark and Reynard, I just ordered mirrors for it, still gotta finish the lights and make the fan turn on automatically! gauges and then rear bumper so I can tow a couple of trailers worth to the recycler!
ho yes and shock mounts on the rear, thanks to the exploder rear discs.


felt awesome to go over a couple of sidewalks and actually flex! my ramcharger as sooo heavy and stiff that it felt like a tractor, this felt like my 02 wrangler I had, only with a real set of cojones and attitude!

[G's Baja Bronco]

did not get to work on the EB at all, caught a cold, rested and gamed!

 

[markperry]

look like I am going with the KM2's and painted the spoke wheels flat black!
Discount tire has a 12 month same as cash!

Good 4 you man! I'm gonna be looking for tires soon myself!

 

[G's Baja Bronco]

Mark, there have been a few items on my EB build that have felt ridiculously expensive, and tires is the latest. on my Ramcharger I ran HUMVEE good year wrangler 2's I paid 50 foe each and 50 for delivery out of a military surplus, brand new, the military went away from 16.5 wheels and that is what I ran. 36" mud tires new for 500 dllrs, used them for 4 years and sold them for about 50%. I could not see dropping 1200+ in one shoot and since I have great credit, payed off 1 credit card and am 3 payments away from paying off the stang, I figure I can get the tires and save the interest.

I dropped them off this morning and shall pick up, God willing, on my way home from work. I am keeping the bfg baja TA, since it belongs to my Brother, it was given to my for helping a baja racer with the Ram and gave to my Bro to use as a spare on his EB.

I let you know how noisy the tires are on the street, I ran A/T's on a wrangler and feared the mt's, but the KM2's are supposed to be better than the old ones

and YES black walls it is!

 

[G's Baja Bronco]

3- finish wiring lights.
4- install lightning mirrors.
