| Notes: |
Current status: Well I traded her years ago. No longer have this one. Turns out she had electrical issues. It would randomly shut down. And randomly work. Who knew. So I traded her off. The issue was a
I got the Bronco with a trade for a laptop from another trade from something that I got for free. I paid for it in the end though. It needed MUCH work, including, full smog system so I could license it, stereo, fuel pumps (yes two, what a pain), new wheels and tired (swampers of course). Now it has also had added a huge winch bumper, a secondary battery, isolator, Painless Wiring seperate circut for accessories, It has 3 sets of offroad lights (KC competition), HiLift Jack mounted inside, CB (Cobra), 102" whip antenna, full gagues (sunpro in a custom mount into the dash), and more that I'm sure I missed here. Soon to come will be either a lift or a solid front axle conversion. Dunno, have to debate and decide on that one.
Update: I isntalled a 2" lift, all new shocks (6 of em), steering stabilizer, and a locker in the 9" rear end. ALong with finishing the high power Alternator (140 amp) project, and completing the dual battery setup (one in the rear) |

Flexing as much as a stock TTB can with no lift or anything.

Found a loading ramp in the snow. Not too challenging, but fun non-theless.

Had to have the local Les Schwab cut off the old bumper and the bolts, they were so rusted on that even after a full day of soaking in PB Blaster they wouldn't come off by hand. So, they brought out the cutting torch.
