A day helping out the old bossman. Good round trip. Stretching the legs a bit more each outing.

Fantastic Jimbo!
Enjoy!!
Ran through a few growing pains with the francenBronc. But now she's reliable and a heck of a lot more enjoyable!
I'll be following your lead over the winter months, (I've been driving her around at 85% and need to button up and pretty up a few things now that the concept is more than proven!)
Cheers!

I imagine having that forced induction setup makes for some Real user power.
Makes me ponder the possibilities of a turbo setup on the W motor. Wishful thinking🚫💰
I need to watch Lone Wolf McQuade again.

Replaced the shrank and rotten flexible trim in the window rubber. Have not messed with this sort of chore in almost 30 years, but it came back after about 5 mins. Those little corner pieces can be a real PITA. Skill prevails. 💪

Did you replace any other outside trim
Did you replace any other outside trim?

Negative, nothing else needed to be replaced.......and I already have somebody pestering me with 'how much you want for that ol Bronco?' goings on....
(I knew it was just a matter of time) <g>🙄
My response: It aint finished yet!
90 mile round trip today.
486 miles on the break-in and going strong. 💪

618 miles- break in is a Done deal.
Looks like we hit 16+mpg on the way home today. Seems fairly respectable.
Dammit-Jim, the thing sure does sound good at times. 🛻🎶
Next stop is a TransGo kit. Gotta get the mushbag shifting Out of that slushbox.

Nice!
Your mileage is pretty close to frankenbronc! (More than double worn out stock!)
Way to go!
Cheers

I'd wager you'd do better on MPG if you keep the lead-foot out of it- huhuh! ☺
Gotta get the kicks somehow.
Got to test the 4X for the 2nd time yesterday.
So sloppy after all the rain. Headed out & forgot something at the house, had to pull over & turn around. That part of the shoulder was soggy- bottom Usa and I started sliding into the ditch. No steering input. After the lock-n-push button exercise, pulled right out of it. Mission accomplished.
I love it when a plan comes together
