  1. Meet Minty, my 2dr on 37's, "Vintage" Build Thread!

    If you're going for a particular 'look', the stock early broncos had a white painted grill. The 'Explorer' and 'Ranger' trims got the 'argent' silver paint. Those letters look spot on. I kept.the little camera mount - and repurposed it for my winch controller socket
  2. Buy Some Wheel Locks (ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS)

    Just a thought... My son's '63 Willys has left hand thread studs and nuts on the drivers side, and right hand thread studs and nuts on the passenger side -somone obviuosly thought that was a good idea backnin the day. A Crafty S.O.B. might swap out a stud or two on the spare tire carrier for a...
  3. FINALLY... BACK IN THE COOL KIDS CLUB!!!!

    I'm all for driving what you want - no insult intended and no body shaming on my part. Just an observation after having owned my little '72 for the last 24 years, and thinking of the 'Bronco' name as a svelte little pony that can turn on a dime and go just about anywhere in the woods I want to...
  4. The Part of Camping Nobody Photographs: Setting Up Your Bronco After Dark

    I think if you camp often enough, you will have a few experiences like what you mentioned - arriving late, in the dark, and disorganized. I can also say that after a few of those experiences, it' only natural that a person gets tired of the disarray and begins to organize. I know where my...
  5. New California Replacement Tire Standards [⛔️ ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    You mean these... Costs a few bucks, but restores plastic gas jugs to their 1970's functionality - with flexible spouts and vents.
  6. FINALLY... BACK IN THE COOL KIDS CLUB!!!!

    If they only made Raptors without the ridiculous 2 spare doors... But then, they'd be almost as wide as they are long. Everytime I see a black raptor going down the highway with those fat black flares sticking out... I get the visual of a morbidly obese older black lady, hips blocking the...
  7. FINALLY... BACK IN THE COOL KIDS CLUB!!!!

    Ironic name... that's just about anything but low key.
  8. Is it possible to own a Bronco without a broken windshield?

    Closing in on 60,000 miles and original windshield on my '22 2 door OBX.
  9. Whaaaat! This hurts. A little.

    Is the other one your right(?)
  10. California PRICE DROP - OEM Badlands non-sasquatch steering rack with tie rod ends $275

    I'll be in So Cal in three weeks... is this still availible?
  11. How far did you travel to pick up your Bronco ?

    Yes, I found my unicorn - an eruption green, 2 door, 2.7l 'Outer Banks' version, used, May of 2022 build date, summer of 2024. Came with the rear locker, 4.27 gears, and the previous owner put badlands 33" wheels/rims & KO2's on it. I've added skid plates to protect the underbelly better and a...
  12. How far did you travel to pick up your Bronco ?

    9 months searching.... but I had a ridiculous 'must have' list. Wife wanted auto transmission, I wanted 2.7l engine. Had to be green, had to be a 2 door, had to be built as close to May of 2022 as possible. I wanted a twin to my Seapine Geen Explorer Sport, built May 24th of 1972. Found it...
  13. Bad keyless lock design?

    I can both feel and hear mine both lock and unlock when touching the right parts of the door handle. I especially like the fact it's quiet and no annoying 'chirp' or lights flashing to draw attention. I've got what is probably almost a phobia about my fob in my pocket and other 'stuff' --...
  14. Future of the 2.7L?

    My 2003-vintage T444E Navistar would beg to differ... single turbo on a V-8. In Ford parlayance, it's the 7.3l turbo diesel in that era's F250/350/450 series. Has a single Garrett 38mm turbo right on top rear of the valley.
