I've had my 72 sport explorer since 1989. The blood sucking #$%&* of a wife was always blowing every dime we had so there was rarely any left for the bronco. Well she's gone now and my favorite girl is finally getting the make over she so deserves...lol I rolled the frame out yesterday and power washed it. We then dropped out the 44 and the rear 9. Installing e-locker up front and already had a detroit locker in the back with some new 411 gears. Next is pulling the motor and trans, doing some mods and then on to the blaster and powdercoating in early Nov.

Man, I'm glad I married a non-spender. She asks before she buys anything. Happy for you brother and anxiously await progress pictures.

I like those frame tie ins for the roll cage. No wife = no worries! Looks like a nice start to a Bronco.

I also like the tie in's...I'm going to have a fab shop make me up some.\

I also am glad my wife is a non-spender...especially when i am the only one who works...as in a real job.

She busts her ass taking care of our son and me. Man I love mexican women!

Way to be an optimist. Do yourself a favor if you like country music, buy Jamey Johnson's Lonesome Song album and get to work on your rig. Great beer drinking and working music.;D

He's right!! I'm building more of a Bronco than I ever planned when she was in the picture. Funny thing on my end was, I bought the Bronco about 9 months before we married, so it was all mine in the divorce. You've got the right outlook on the whole deal.....Plenty of money, plenty of time....get after it! ;D
