After converting to a 130 amp 3g alternator I ran into troubles with the v belts slipping even with double belts on the alternator. Also the factory location for the alternator was down low so I had some issues with snow and water intrusion. Which was hard on the alternator. So it was...

Dual batteries was a good upgrade for future planes. I cut and welded some angle iron to for the base of the box. Then added a divider and some studs to mount the hold down to. Test fitting the batteries. How it was. And with the two batteries in place. I made my own batter cables out...

Decided while I was at it to upgrade the cruise control from vacuum operated to the new electronic version. I already had the electric speed sensor for the new speedometer so it was just a matter of switching the connector and adding the speed signal. Only photo I have of the old vacuum...

Eventually while in the Black Hills in South Dakota the Bronco ended up like this. While out there to camp and explore the transmission decided it wanted to let the transmission fluid go free. So thanks to a good friend we got a spare vehicle hauled to us and he took the bronco home for us...

I have a few other projects that I have already completed that I'll post. Also we will be adding a roll cage, rock sliders, winch bumper, rear tire carrier, possibly a snorkel of some sort. Lots of stuff to build still.

The floor needed some work as well. the back wasn't too bad but the front need more help. On to the front. Now the dash was removed.

Time to start on the interior. Since the engine was going to get some upgrades figured the gauges and interior could use some help. I have very little fiberglass skill so I enlisted the help of a friend to do this. Still not sure why he painted it blue before he gave it to me...

I've had the bronco for about 12 years. Needed some work when I got it. So I fixed some rust and started making changes. It got a little more involved than I had hoped. But eventually we started spraying bed liner on it. After all the body stuff was done It was time to start on...
