    How good is a body mount roll cage?

    I have my cage tied to the six body mounts inside, seats and seat belts tied to cage, and cross tubes for the front and rear seats. Overkill, maybe and I hope to never have to find out.

    Teaching my 15 year old son stick shift

    I taught my son at age 12 to drive a stick, my parents jeep out on our ranch. I figured the worst that could happen is he would hit a tree or run it into the creek. I loves driving a stick and wants one for his first vehicle. My brother got his daughter a stick for a first vehicle so she...

First time taking the bronco out off the ranch other than one trip earlier this year into town. All went well, I know my motor is on its last leg, (smokes all the time) so we had my dad...

    Blinker issue 66 bronco

    Thanks very well the click could have been from the fuse block area as it was in that direction from where I was sitting. I have cleaned the fuse box contacts and put new fuses in, same situation.

    Blinker issue 66 bronco

    Blinkers were working fine then stopped so I have been chasing wires. Found a loose connection and all was good. Now when I turn on the blinker I get one click (can’t tell if it’s the flasher kinda sounds like it is coming from the headlight switch area which is not by the flasher) and then...

    Tailgate bench

    Ran this idea by the wife and she likes it if we move the bench out into the front yard! Great suggestion!

    Tailgate bench

    I saw that and would do it if I had an extra grille laying around. I do have an extra hood, trying to figure out what I can do with that....

    Tailgate bench

    I said the same thing to my wife but she wanted this side out as it has more character and looks “cooler”, plus it actually isn’t as uncomfortable as I thought it would be. Even in the picture I had to slide over she said so we could see the Ford lettering.

    Tailgate bench

    So the wife found my extra tailgate in the barn and asked if I was going to use it for anything.....Since I didn't have any plans for it we turned it into a bench for the front porch. Came out pretty good I must say, good way to spend Memorial Day weekend.

    5.8 question thoughts opinions

    So the 289 in my 66 is on its last leg. Talking with a coworker he has a 96 E-250, 5.8 with 120,000 miles. The transmission is blown and he is parting it out. $400 for the motor. So the thought crossed my mind about buying it and putting it into my bronco. 2 thoughts have crossed my mind...
