My self and Bruners4, work on my Bronco. Almost every, Thursday night. And I usually get some time in the garage on Sunday afternoons. Your welcome anytime.
I just might take you up on that. I have some weekends off this month, and a nice long shakedown drive would be fun.

That would be great. Bruners4 (David) and I would love to meet you, share our EB projects. And see you rig. The only weekend in May that I am not available, is the May 17th weekend. And with enough notice I can make Saturdays available for a meet up as well.

just a short video cruising down the highway. it was a pretty empty stretch so I took a quick video to show how well the cruise control is working and how well the bronco cruises down the highway at 70 one hand on the wheel. it drives and handles pretty nice. I did adjust the accelerator pedal a bit. it was sitting a little too high for comfort.

getting the Broncos ready for super celebration in Wisconsin. I had pretty much planned to go by myself because I didn't think my wife was going to go. but she changed her mind. Then I was visiting my daughter, son in law and my new grand baby and off handedly told them that I had reserved a two bedroom condo for the super celebration and that they should come too. I was very surprised when they seemed very excited about it. especially when I said if they came maybe they could take my 22 bronco so I could have both of them there. so now I am getting both broncos ready. I had to remove the old ppf from the rockers because it was looking kind of bad, I also gave it a good once over under neath. I have a bunch of little rock chips in the rockers from that dang gravel road, and so I am waiting on some touch up paint. In the meantime when I was over visiting Gnsteam and Bruners 4 they convinced me I should add sport mode to my badlands. I had been thinking about it ever since I got the bronco, I had bought the cord years ago, but just never did it, well I finally did it. and it was very easy, makes that bronco even more fun to drive. I also got rid of the double honk when getting out of the cab. now I need to clean it up a bit for them and start loading everything in my trailer. I have to be on call every day until the 11th so I will just have to work on it when I can get the time.

I finished up all the projects I intend to do to the Bronco at this time. I have it detailed pretty nicely now, I am going to load up all my show supplies and put it in the trailer next chance I get! I am pretty much ready to head to wisconsin. I do have a couple projects I want to do to my truck first. I am going to wait to do the remote door locks and getting the AC charged until after wisconsin. I don't want to take the chance something will get broken or a part will need to be ordered and not be able to get everything completed in time, so I am just pausing those projects for now. the bronco looked pretty good tonight so I took a glamour shot in the garage. I am excited to get it out of the garage and do some cruising!

No pictures today, but I did accomplish a job I have been avoiding for years. I installed the remote door locks. the keyless ignition system I installed before had the provision to add remote door locks and I bought the door poppers and everything to do it, but I hadn't done it because it involves 3 of my least favorite things. wiring of course, but also working inside the doors, and having to pull the dash loose to get behind it to get to some of the keyless entry wiring. It took me a couple days, some bruised and scraped forearms, more than a few strings of profanity and a fair amount of sweat, but they are in and working properly. it is always a pain trying to integrate multiple different modifications by multiple different companies. in this case, I used the digital guard dawg keyless entry system, the power lock system from bc broncos who make a nice little bracket to mount the door poppers, and I had to integrate that with the one piece windows, which made the whole system harder. but I did get it done and it works. and I am glad thats over with. I hope I don't have to work inside those doors again for a while lol.

no pictures, but I am excited to say I finally bit the bullet and had the ac system charged. of course one of the hoses had a leak and it had to be repaired, but at least it is now functioning, and I am happy to say everything on the Bronco is now fully functional.... now I am not sure what to do. maybe I will think about doing the atlas transfer case conversion I have been thinking of. I like the shift on the fly ability. IDK. I suppose I ought to just drive it for awhile. but I am already looking for a new project. I think maybe a 53-57 f100 or maybe a cobra kit car.
