What have you done to your Bronco today? (v.2)

[Eck]

Work was slow this afternoon so I pulled the lower intake and re-sealed it hoping it fixes the oil leak I had. Fingers crossed that was the culprit and I got enough right stuff on it this time.

Is this a sneak peek at the 2021 Baby Bronco?

Where is the glitter?

Hopefully the Bronco will never be in a position that other people will see that!

Why does everyone ask about glitter? It didn't come from a strip club.

$17 dollar 15lb shocks on Amazon

And installed the Ranch Hand today!

[Jesus_man]

Great mod on the lift gate. Do you have a link to the part? I don't recall my top having provisions for a shock like that. Appears your lower mount has been on the bronco a while.

The ranch hand looks right at home and nostalgic on your rig!! Wonder how long they have been in business??

[mickphatmac]

So I guess it’s been about a year since I bought them and it looks like they might’ve increased a little bit in price but $21.99 delivered isn’t too bad.
On the top portion by the liftgate we used the cut off wheel to detach the lift portion and on the bottom ones we used the drill to drill them out at the center hole.

We used a self tapping sheet metal screw and only needed two new holes as you can see on the top but everything else went right into place.
67lb 15” not 15lb ;)
They supply brackets but we didn’t use them because the holes are different at all four corners so we would’ve had to drill 4 new holes and some of them overlap the old holes so I chose just to reuse the old hardware which on my rig I wanted the old anyway

Well-- it looks like all of us non-essentials are going to be strictly confined to our homes-- which sounds like it makes garage time, essential. I know a lot of you guys have been hoarding away parts so as a practice in sheltering in place and social distancing-- let's hear what everyone plans to do to your Broncos over the next several weeks. Hopefully when we come out the other end of this (and we will), we will have more road capable Broncos on the trails and at the Bronco Breakfasts!

My current list:
- Swap in a temperature control cable. The sheath on mine broke away so no longer works. This is harder than it sounds as I had to disassemble a good bit to even get access to it.
- Adjust the wiring on my fan control-- the wires were not in order of off/low/high
- Install windshield bracing (am adding brackets to give it more strength)
- Add rear tie-down brackets for a new Bikini Top
- Possibly change the door lock and ignition set. I have the original ignition/key but aftermarket door locks so have 2 keys to deal with. Bought a new set of all 3 but it is low on my priority list.

Take advantage of this time! Hope everyone is staying healthy and motivated!

I’m planning to swap in a 4r70w. I’ve got everything I need and am tentatively planning on the first Saturday in April. I also have new leaf springs and front coils to swap in.

I am working on rust repair/replacement on Henry my 1st bronco. I am almost out of replacement parts that I have been sitting on for a long time.

[D&D72]

1. I will be working on the wife's BMW.
2. I will look at my Bronco..
3. I will work on the wife's BMW some more...
4. I will look at my Bronco.. repeat .....

[Jesus_man]

Do our wives drive the same car??

Well, really ours has had it seasons of needing attention, but ever since I have kept it out of the dealer, it's been doing pretty well. Just about to tick into triple digits...

Wrapped up my steering wheel with a Superior wrap.

Looks Super!!! Do you happen to have the size and product number? I've been looking at these for a while and might just go ahead now.

Thanks - Rick

For 3 months Ive been battling an EMI issue with my stereo. I have been back and forth with the manufacturer and we went as far as replacing the head unit. I am at a complete loss as what to do next. Its an issue with the ignition system/transmission.

Assume you have tried a ground loop? also have you tried to move the stereo ground to somewhere near or on the frame?

I have some experience with noise and signal conditioning. I can give you a hand with that when this COVID thing settles down. Is the head unit integral or is it a separate head unit and amp?

Have you tried a noise suppressor?

Yes tried it all. I have an idea whats going on but its too long to type out what I have tried.

Yup. actually have 2 of them on both power wires. amp and head unit are separate.

I'll assume that means you tried one of these?






I can throw an O- scope on it later. Either we can track down the noise and deal with it or build a custom filter to knock down the noise.

This is what I have installed.

Short story is I only have issue on Bluetooth and/or SD card playback of music. The music play back skips with ignition cycles. The FM radio works great. I have bench tested everything and it works fine. It has nothing to do with the wiring to the stereo. I took a spare battery and placed it on the floor. Hooked just the stereo to it and added computer speakers to the head unit. That left me with the stereo physically in the bronco(not mounted just resting) but completely isolated from the bronco power/wiring and still had an issue.

This is a video of what is happening.
