Time for an update! I have managed to get a little done on the Bronco, just not very fast. To many other projects that seem to be taking my time.


New front bumper and winch! I would like to take credit for building the bumper. But I didn't build it, I bought from Tom's Bronco in Oregon.

Putting my overhead hoist to work.


I bought these shock hoops and then decided I needed them just a little taller. So off with the old mounts and fabed up some that were 3" taller.

The new longer/ taller mounts.

Adding some support to the rear of the frame for the rear bumper.

Supervision? I’ll be needing supervision, because I’ll be playing with all of the cool toys! Just wait until I get ahold of that welding torch!
