Currently, the "American" dealerships are having a bad supply problem with the strike. We deal with it every day. And they are buying up the aftermarket stock to keep going. on a Side note, I just bought new steering gear to frame bolts and an accelerator pedal for my 2003 Ford F250 from the...

I did get the main shape and mounting figured out. Along with locations for some of the power points. I also got the sound deadening down on the floor and sides. Lots of cutting and spray adhesive. Then it was time to lay the carpet in place and start fitting it. Now more...

We have explored the Black Hills and that area. Look into Ayres Natural Bridge, Alcova, Vedauwoo, Lake Marie - Snowy Range, Spearfish Canyon, Crazy Woman canyon, Bighorn Mountains, Custer State park, lots of hiking and exploring to do in those areas.

I got the rear speakers in and started the enclosure for the battery. I have a little more wiring to put in then I'll tidy up the wires more. I trimmed the original panel and cut some pieces from 1/2" pvc panel and shaped it to fit over the electronics and around the roll cage. It...

Hopefully it goes easy on ya! I'm glad we have my truck to use until I finally get the bronco done.

It happens. I've definitely had to change direction from time to time. Some days I think I should have just done a few things to my truck and not done the Bronco. But, it's been fun too and the rug rats are definitely excited about it. Hopefully the next project goes smooth for you.

I made some adapters for my rear speakers out of 1/4 inch pvc panel. A little trimming and drilling of the mounting holes. Then I used a hole saw to make room for my new/old speakers. Time for some paint after screwing them together. And they are back in place. I should probably...

Both. I'm Going to use the stock panels as far back as I can and them make something to cover the rest. I actually picked up some 2'x4' pvc panels the other day. I'm thinking I'll see if I can make some covers and rear panels for the cargo area out of that.

Put in some sound deadening material on the floor and the driver side. And got some more wiring doneish

I am adding a house battery in the back for the fridge and power accessories. Along with a dc/dc and solar charge controller, fuse box, and relays. I cut a board to fit the area we wanted them and went about figuring out how to fit it Fits pretty good. A little snug but doable...

A few parts got installed the other day. The front now has bump stops. Painted and installed the mounts. And then installed the bump stops themselves. Pretty simple install. I went the easy way and just bought the mounts. Also got the steering linkage installed. Now to do some...

Putting wiring back in. Then dash and interior. More underhood wiring and plumbing. Some rear suspension parts and bump stops. Should build a rear bumper... Pretty long list yet.

It's not perfect, but I will probably end up scratching it up anyway so figure we'll save the heavier wet sanding for that time.

Also managed to get it outside to see it in the sun. Turned out alright for some guy in his garage. I managed to paint it before the bugs and dust showed up for the spring which was nice. Now just to work on everything else...

Finally managed enough free time to get some color on the Bronco. Cleaned and prepped for paint. I put 5 coats of a supposed to be more scratch resistant high solids clear. Figured that way I'll get a chance or 2 of wet sanding and buffing scratches out.

I finished the passenger side seat mount. And remembered to take some pictures this time. I removed the electric motor and slide from the seat. This is what's left under the seat. Then I cut the upper sliding parts off the original mount. Now I added a flat base to attach the new...

I did the driver seat mount today but forgot to take many pictures. I'll have to do better on the passenger seat. The initial test fit on stock mounts was way too tall. So I shortened and adjusted its location with the help of my seat testers. Ant the finished and painted mount.

Made some progress on rear seat mounts. I made a frame to mount to the factory bolt locations. Then reinforced some areas and finished welding. And a bit of primer and paint.

I got started on the rear seat mounts. We are using some much more comfortable seats out of a midsize Lincoln suv. After setting them in place I have some work to do. Just too tall. So I removed the mounts to see what I have to work with. That would be a better height. Time to cut...

I probably got a little excessive on cleaning the outside but turned out pretty good.
