FWIW, I imagine it'd be easier to find another owner with an opposite sense of esthetics and simply trade rings. I'm assuming there's a suitable population of Bronco owners where you live.

I don’t even like digital watches, but the digital speedometer has wiggled its way into my brain. Drove the wife’s Expy the other day, and the analog speedometer threw me off a little. Made me hate digital cluster even more.

I don’t even like digital watches, but I’ve been s yea, half the work is done. Rework the digital side to look like the mustang dash, and I might be happy.

Looks better than the fronts off and the rear cap on.

I don’t roof rack, but I would think that the slide out TG would be essential for anyone who does roof rack.

If I were going to Toyota (I’m not), I’d Landcruiser. The 4 Runner is very modern. My son was a teenager when he accused me of having a strong nostalgia bias. He’s not wrong.

I’ll be moving the trailer out of the way of my wife’s trailer (it’s 30ft long and requires the Superduty to tow it. She lets me come along so I can drive) this weekend. I’ll get a tape on the hitch and let you know. The Bronco and Cargo conversion are mine, and I use them on trips where I...

My trailer jack is removable and uses a drill to raise and lower the jack. You might consider turning the jack so the handle is on the side versus dead center. It doesn't look like youve got Propane tanks holding you back from trying. I also have a drop hitch that gets the coupler mostly...

My use case for cans involves hunting trips with a base camp that is 60 miles from the nearest pump. I also tow a 6x12 cargo conversion that takes me down to an average of about 11 mpg, so I’m roughly five gallons in the hole just getting to camp. Even if I make a run into town for fuel, I’m...

At least the motorcycle riding pants will keep that receiver hitch from breaking your leg too awfully bad. In all seriousness, great thread.

Sure wish there was a work around for the Strelock Ballistics Calculator. Luckily a guy from the local Bronco Club Forscanned my Bronco into quiet bliss this last weekend. The Stockholm Syndrome is strong though. Everytime I do something that used to cause the Bronco to Bing, bong, or honk, I...

Funny. I use this phrase along with simultaneously rubbing the top of my head to describe turning off the seatbelt chime to someone who hasn't had the pleasure of doing it.

Antimatter Blue OBX is a combination that kinda always taken my breath away. It's like a Tuxedo for the Bronco. If you're gonna put one out on the town, thats the way to do it. Tires look great!!

As a Ford Blue Blood, I’ve always looked at this differently. It’s always frustrating when Ford doesn’t compete with the other vehicles in a given segment, or even worse abandon a segment entirely, or even worse, have a Foreign Market competitor in a given segment, and fail to bring it...

"So why in heaven, before we are there / do we give our hearts to a dog to tear?" - Rudyard Kipling "Power of the Dog." Sorry for your loss, especially during such an epic trip.

At $1000 for a set of stickers, it appears Ford doesn't really WANT to sell any. They probably figured demand would outpace supply or they wanted people to buy a heritage Bronco rather than create one.

I like living in the desert where creeks are rare and the one river is big enough and deep enough, nobody is driving across it in anything besides a boat. Even mud makes me sweat a little during the rare times we have water fall from the sky.

If my reading comprehension skills aren’t failing me at the moment we’re discussing a boat. It’s been decades since my family boated, but back in my day (ugh, I’m that guy now) boat trailers had surge brakes, taking brake controllers and weight distribution hitches out of the equation. I don’t...

That would work, perhaps when the offspring moves out. Right now, the three vehicle garage has three cars. I know this is strange, but it’s all made possible by a stand alone workshop and several sheds. We joke about being organized hoarders. It’s what happens when you’re of German heritage...

In spite of your protests to the contrary, the outcome was pretty professional looking to me.
