Yeah I got that. The reason I haven't used them is simply due to the drive from our property to town being a 10 mile trip down an extremely dusty dirt road. So doors remain on for now to avoid literally filling the Bronco with dirt.
Fuel fill NEEDS to be extended to side of vehicle. In its current location any spillage from refueling ends up IN the racer.
Hopefully the spare carrier has room for two.
Showing the Stroppe family the unit Ford built and handing them a nice check for the use of the name is FAR from the connection of Bill Stroppe's shop actually doing the modifications to their own specifications.
Never said I didn't like them but that doesn't change the fact they are just paint...
There is zero hypocrisy in my posts. I have clearly stated several times that I will indeed pay the increased price for something that brings value to the table for that added cost.
The $500-1000 comment is because that is the range of prices on their site for the stoves they sell and I have...
You mounted the can holder with just the two screw holes visible on the X-Brace or what?
I would suggest storing the nozzle inside somewhere or at least making some kind of cover for it. In order to prevent the build up of trail dust that then gets dumped into gas tank along with the fuel...
Not sure where you get the whole "recreational vehicle" nonsense you keep harping on, as mine is simply a daily driver that can also go off-road. In fact none of the 4x4s I have ever owned have ever been dedicated trailer queen, off road rigs. They ALL were the vehicle that got me back and...
Not converting to my point of view but to at least have the facts straight for theirs.
I don't care what random people on the internet have as opinions but that doesn't change my view of the facts.
No fooling. I never meant that Stroppe built the Bronco from the ground up. But as you said they were modified BY Stroppe in his shop. Thus have a DIRECT connection to his legend
The current version is just a stock Bronco sent off to Penske to get paint and stickers added.
I don't know what the ad was published in. It was simply the only picture I could find on the web a while ago when I was looking for info to post to explain the setup I had to someone on another forum.
They haven't made Packmule trailers in quite some time either. I bought mine used nearly 40...
An issue with mounting heavy things high up such as on a roof rack is that it seriously changes the vehicle's center of gravity. Not a huge deal for on road travel but can become a danger when off roading.
I too retired in California (I'm a native). We just didn't want to live there any more and prefer our place in AZ (log house on 72 acres in the country). And 56 was simply the minimum age for me to retire from my job or I would have gone out sooner.
The cost of a Bronco is what it is and...
Not going to work without redesigning the mount for a rear camera.
Video states full tank weighs 100 pounds so going to require a bumper mounted tire carrier to support the extra weight.
