The only things connecting the body to the frame are the brake lines, speedometer cable, fuel filler hose (… 1991 Ford Bronco - 11/5/05 -- time for the body and frame to part ways, after only 15 or so years. 1991 Ford Bronco - Our lifting method probably qualifies as "dumbest dang thing I ever done did," but there was no wind out, and we were extremely careful to… 1991 Ford Bronco - Note the strap.

It was still pretty dicey and unstable at this p… 1991 Ford Bronco - Yeah, it's like that. Not my best photo. Probably not my worst, which is even scarier. 1991 Ford Bronco - "Hey, look! It's Captain Morgan!" Yes, he actually said that. He's got the pose off the bottle down pretty well, too. You should probably h… 1991 Ford Bronco - Umbulu the Great Spear Hunter and his driver aboard the Chariot of Doom.

My manifold was so thoroughly coated with combustion byproducts and blowby via the PCV, you probably wouldn't want to light… 1991 Ford Bronco - Brand new alternator #2, installed one month before I discovered how disgustingly easy it would've been to swap over to a 130A G3 instead.… 1991 Ford Bronco - Wiring at starter relay, currently leaning against back of bumper. 1991 Ford Bronco - Thermactor plumbing on back of heads. The color codes on the vacuum tubes match the factory diagram, and were marked last year when I had t… 1991 Ford Bronco - No more front bumper, 302 on a stand. It's disgusting how quickly you can pull an engine when there's no bodywork in the way. 1991 Ford Bronco - "Bob, I think you're missing something." 1991 Ford Bronco - Harold: "You know, there are easier ways to remove a transmission."

Luckil… 1991 Ford Bronco - The remaining mounts (that didn't fall out due to frame damage) were an absolute pain the rear to remove. Good thing I wasn't planning to r… 1991 Ford Bronco - Vehicle suspension and tire detail, with a floor jack visible. 1991 Ford Bronco - HEAVY sonofagun. 1991 Ford Bronco - Third time I've had this sucker out.

Luckily I won't have to repair this one, since it will have a substantial plate over top of it to support the back of the bed… 1991 Ford Bronco - These two in front of the gas tank (by the #4 crossmember) are another matter, though. Look at the hole on the left, just by the can of liq… 1991 Ford Bronco - Rolled outside on 11/10/05 for the first of several serious degreasings. 1991 Ford Bronco - That rear driver's side mount was the only undamaged mount rear of the firewall/front floorboard.
