I had the Duck Tuff suspension ( from James Duff Bronco) installed on my 75 Ranger. (Tom) Lick Creek Restorations did the work. Hopefully the Bronco Super Celebration will happen and I can show it off. I’ve put about 300 miles on it and it drives great. Duff’s new shocks are amazing! If I could figure out how to upload pics here I would show you how it looks.

I just installed the Ducktuff as well but unfortunately it came with the wrong steering and track bar. Duff is short handed now with the Covid and have not been able to get this corrected yet but the suspension parts look good.

That picture does make it look a little catawampus. If you put a straight bar on top of both perches are the angles eqaul?

Nice area you got there sir...


Thanks
We bought it for the trees
I wanted some space and privacy and lots of trees
I didn’t really care what kind of house or what condition.
It was past being a fixer upper, it was a tear downer , but we couldn’t afford to tear it down and rebuild.
It had a lot of rotten structural beams underneath and half the house was sinking, it had a crack in the wall you could see daylight through.

Hard to believe it’s 15 miles from downtown Atlanta
Most of the houses were built in the late 50s early 60s
Back when they didn’t bulldoze every tree and the lots were large.
The roundhouse is one of the newest houses in the neighborhood , built in 71

.40 acre, with 39 hardwood trees on the lot

Developers are buying a old brick ranch on a half acre lot for $275k and bulldozing it and building 3 houses and selling each house for $800k

The guy that owns the other EB has some of those new houses real close to him, and every time he kills a deer he hangs it in a tree in his front years to field dress it, just to tick off the new millionaire neighbors. He and his son got 17 deer last year. He’s got a fantastic spot to bow hunt in a neighborhood on the river where all the lots are 3-5 acres and the owners want the deer gone because they are eating up all the fancy landscaping plants.


Goofy looking house on the outside
It’s neat on the inside
Turns out a round house is actually nice space

Living room is half the bottom floor
And any kitchen is all about the triangle between the sink , stove and refrigerator. If the kitchen is an actual triangle, like mine , then it’s perfect.

Spent a little time messing with a back bumper, but mostly cleaned, re-arranged, swept and shoveled out the shop. Turns out, the floor had not been stolen after all.....

Wow that close huh... I would never have thought that.

Yeah the traffic sucks

That was part of the deal with us moving to Atlanta,
Had to get a house with trees and privacy.
When I was a kid we lived 6 miles from the closed paved road.
And later we moved to a house on a paved road but next closest house was 3 miles one way and 17 miles the other way.

I don’t have to deal with the traffic much. With my job I get to set my own hours so I can miss most of the traffic, and I get paid by the hour from when I leave home till when I get back so if I do have to sit in it , it doesn’t bother me too much.
Yesterday I left home at 9am, got back at midnight. Drove 4 hours away to work on a water treatment system.

Previous job when they offered it , they wanted me to work 9-5, I said nope. I will work 7-3 or 10-6 but I ain’t fighting the traffic to be there at 9, they also wanted me to be on call for emergencies, so I told em I would agree to be on call, if I got to choose my own hours.

The Mrs has to battle the traffic but she gets paid a bundle so it makes it worth it. She’s a specialized accountant for one of the most well known commercial buildings in NYC, has been working from home for the last month though.

Looked at your profile, I used to go to Salem MO pretty regular in the 90s when I owned some 18 wheelers.
a beautiful area .
You anywhere near there?

Replaced the front shock bushings.
Tried to tighten the nut on the pitman arm, cause I noticed the arm had a little movement. Had wrenches and sockets that were too big and too small but none the right size.

Installed my big bronco calipers on the correct side so the brakes can be bled. After 12 years of them on the wrong sides.

Fixed the brakes, drove it ten miles. Hit a patch of dirt to see what 400hp looks and sounds like. It sounds great.

Cleaned garage out and put it to bed for night.

Didn't get much done on the Bronco, other than checking the fit of the back up light I'm putzing with. A bonus - spent some time cleaning the barn and came across the welting for the flares that had been missing for years. Also, came across the sign for a barn sale we had a few years back, and the dancing girls!!!!

Hey, I think I'll go out and look for the floor in my garage. Might find some parts that a customer was looking for, and maybe even some stuff for me!

Looks great Howard. Startin' to sound like you're having fun with the Bronco.
Enjoy!

Paul
