What Did you Do With Your Bronco Today???

[Jimbo26]

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.

Plus the louder the howl, the higher the “smiles per gallon”!

PS

Well it's about dang time! I was beginnin to think you were holding out on all of us here.
Where's the party?
Now if we can take the checkered flag in the Vote tomorrow, will have hit the trifecta-
3 runners all in a row.....way to go

Let's see some of the action pics at the digs.
Congrats on the win.
I guess I'm gonna pop a top tomorrow evening and celebrate these occasions down this way. 2 thumbs Wayy up, amigo!

 

[L\Bronco]

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.

Yes, glad I didn't wait until the dead middle of winter to try that.

Same with the soft top I hear it best to install in the summer so it more flexible. This is the year I going top less ha ha

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.

 

[Jimbo26]

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!
