Glad to see you are fine on Facebook and already working on getting your Bronco back on the road! @Madgyver

X2. It looked like it took a good hit. That Bronco will probably be rebuilt and driving by tomorrow afternoon . They make it look easy.

Are you sure he's ok? Peanut looked concerened when he was cutting the frame in pieces!

OK, I missed the back story. What happened?

OK, I missed the back story. What happened?

On FB, Orange bronco lost traction and spun into a concrete divider. Punched the L/S front pretty good. Bent the frame by the steering box just in front of the front body mount. Posts all day long showed peanut supervising the disassembly, frame section being cut out and the donor frame piece being readied to go back on. (I have over simplified it)

Thanks guys..
Taz is okay. shook up but okay. GF took a little while to recover, her body was sore.
Bronco will be fixed. Took off all the front body parts and damages were cut out the next day.
working on it after work this week fabricating a steering box mount using a cut down section of 4x4x1/4" tube.

Any updates @Madgyver ?

 

[Madgyver]

Thanks for asking, I'm not doing it myself and been waiting for time with Taz but Taz been on 12 hour shifts throughout the week and we got really bad weather happening. We now got flooding this week in some areas and nice sunny patches in others. You may have saw it in the news. Predictable but not really. Get set up to work and then a deluge comes down on you. wind chills make you want to stay indoors.
Steering box rail is welded on, just need to line up passenger side after a stock bumper gets mocked up. Inner fenders got messed up so Taz bent up some 1" sch40 tube to tube front. Got to order new radiator because he is not taking the rad for Green77. Got another grill ready to go, Existing fenders and hood will be worked.
Now if we could get more sunny days.

 

[Yeller]

I hear ya on the sunny days, although now that just means it’s the humid season

Finally got a break in the weather and got some stuff done on FireBronco. All upper and lower ball joints replaced. Mocked up tube front to get ideas. Gone through Tie-rod ends and checking everything.
