Big Green Badlands Build

[swooshdave]

Think I’m going to grab the mats as well. My floor is a little muddy and I’ll rinse it out, but being able to pull out the mats is pretty good. Good use of your points.

I have my lights installed now, both pods and fog array. Took me 6 hours but it was a fun way to spend a Saturday.

Do you have a build thread?

Nah. Gave it some thought, but not going to do a lot to her.

compressor and my Midland are next. Not sure I’ll tackle the compressor myself though.

If you can install floor mats you can install the compressor. It’ll just take longer and require more profanity.

The Mabett back seat protector might be the perfect accessory. Why Ford put carpet back there I have no idea.

Accessory installation has been curtailed by excessive snow and below freezing temps. Hope to get out under the Bronco soon.

Aww, look at the little Swooshdave, he’s scared off from a tiny bit of snow. Come on, only a foot or two, not like you’re in Buffalo or Saskatchewan!

Ha ha! Crazy weather for sure. It’s 80 down here which is so weird, but good Bronco weather.

Ordered my rubber mats for my rubber floor because two rubbers are better than one right? Used my points.

There’s a reason I don’t live in Buffalo…

Method 703 0 offset. I would have gone with the 35 but they use a different forging that’s less dished. As it is the tread is still under the flairs and behind the flaps. Mostly it’s the sidewall that’s poking.

I’ll just run the stock Goodyears until they’re done. Then maybe 37s…

I still haven’t finished the rock lights. Waiting for a dry enough day.

Suppose to have a buyer for the stock wheels on Saturday. Finally put the rock rails up for sale too. Might have decent enough weather to finish up the rock light wiring this week.

Still haven’t gotten around to the rock lights. Did sell the stock wheels. They look great on the new owner’s rig.

I saw this flag/antenna mount somewhere on the forum. Although it’s for a Jeep it fits perfectly.

And then a Handy flag to go with it.

I might go hit the dunes at the Oregon coast tomorrow.

Wow! That's a stunning Bronco!

 

[swooshdave]

Took it over to Sand Lake on the Oregon coast. Gave it a good thrashing.

It would be a shame if this plate mount got bent back.

But finally a front plate mount that doesn’t cost too much.

Got out in the Tillamook Forest. Found some snow. The road went from wet to barely passable to not passable at all. While it was ok where I took the pic not far up the road it was way higher. I watched a lifted Cherokee on at least 37s (and no fear) struggle so I wasn't going to try it with no help. Or no winch.

I also checked out a couple of the OHV parks but didn't try the trails. Still too much snow in some areas.
