I keep one of these in my ‘77 in case it goes poof. Guess I’ll buy another one for my 6G:

non-corrosive, unlike traditional fire extinguishers
Here’s my OBX with Badlands rims and 295/70/17’s. Removed crash bars, but that’s it . No issues, but I’m 90% sand when off road. I’d like to try 305/75/17 but not sure if that would work
Thank God you have the proper number of doors on that 6G.
Just about done with the 77 Ranger, we’ve had since 1992. Five years into it and two times over budget. Not for the faint of Heart
This is my wife’s. OBX, 2.7, cloth seats, mid package, 44k out the door, and yes a 2 year wait. If only you could have gotten a manual with the 2.7, that would have been fun
Just go enjoy it, if it happens good for you. I bought this in ‘92, with no crystal ball on what it would be worth, just liked it and it had a manual transmission . Got a 6G 2 door to keep it company
18lbs, 2H up there, 4H down on the island. Hate the sand mode, wish you could use Sport mode in 4H. As far as The Point, it’s closed for a few pairs of Piping Clovers. The beach and trails down at the Ferry Dock are open, and that point has really grown in the last few years
How far do you want to take the resto? Do you want old school restored or the resto mod way?
I too have an EB that has a lot of family history. It sat inside for 25 years. My goal was bring it back to original condition. I started picking at it in 2001. It’s like remodeling an old house. Fun...
Better get cracking on that ‘66, parts are going up bigly. Go to classic broncos.com when you’re ready. Lots of good info over there. That’s got to be a rare one, I think they call 66’s Budd Broncos. Make it happen!
Agreed, I’d also look around for a 1-2 year old 2 door with low miles. I saw a sweet one on Bring a Trailer recently that sold for low 40’s with 6000 miles. I think it was a red Badlands. My 2dr OBX was 45k out the door almost 3 years ago, but that was when you could really pick and choose your...
