Redemption

My exhaust and notched frame supports for such, went outboard of the frame.

Now that brings me somewhat to Dec 11th…..

finally got all three components of making a motor run, fuel, air and spark…..

after a 15 year hibernation, RDEMPTN finally runs once again.

now to tackle little things over the winter and put some driveshafts under her.

She will be back on the road before you know it!

[PhantomEB]

That’s the plan. Things just got so much easier now she runs healthy and smooth. Sniper has one hell of a quick throttle so will be taking that down via the secondaries.

ordering up new chrome bezels for the dash. Soon a dash pad too. The little things are a whole lot more fun. Like a buddy pointed out, the ps pump is a little too far out… easy enough to grind down the spacers!

I've got this in my bronco.
I really dig it.

Don’t tend to do online forums much other than mornings of the weekends but still working away on the little things to make it Canadian trail worthy.

just need to tweak the drivers side a little more. Will mount an air compressor on one side after wiring, coolant and brake lines are routed. Went with primer grey so when I put led pods in each corner it’s not lighting up an already dark space.

Looks good, any progress is progress forward!

I look at the Site in the mornings, but not much to see lately. I hit Classic as well, but since I have a Gen 2, not much interests me there.

There are folks there that are good resources for various projects, and I know others check in here. FB doesn't really do it for me, I'm a member of a few Gen 2 groups, and I will say it is interesting to say the least.

I appreciate seeing the old-timers' letting us know that they are staying busy with their Rigs. Sad that so many have moved on... Stay on it, summer will be hers soon!

[CityHick]

Yep... fenders look good, Les!
I count myself among those who have basically moved on. I don't make time to work on my bronco, and it needs some attention - it sits waiting for repairs and months go by. Currently: rear axle seal leaking. I don't want to drive it and risk oil getting onto the pads, but I have so many other projects that I want to get through, and an extremely busy work life. At least my new hot rod keeps me entertained behind the wheel.

Tony, as lots know I have owned this truck for 20+ years ain’t wheeled it in over 15….. but she’s still there for when I want to play.

my garage is getting cleaner it seems by the week, and some other stuff like the quad can fk off for the next little while. My motto nowadays is trucks, trailers, tools and toys are the last to go.

[PhantomEB]

After many a beer looking at the harness and schematics, I have decided to order a new bronco specific harness from AAW. It’s way more up to date with all new pigtails installed for my new changes than the universal one that’s got the original busted up shit from 1972. I decided I may go with new or usable chrome where I want.

[71BRONCO71]

I like my AAW kit

Just make sure to buy the special crimpers. I use them for everything now a days.

Ain’t done much to the Bronco other than move it to the other side for a fresh look in the shop and make my work shop bay really more just that. Hope to pick up another red bottom and intermediate box from HD to put my high school box onto thus giving me a second work bench.

Finishing up a shutdown at work where my one day off a week is usually her day and then fussing around with everything else.

As a few of you know I am hitting the operating table November 4th for Cochlear Implants on Both sides!

4 weeks off of pure no hearing and recovery before I get the processor put on, I will be out in the garage tinkering on my true mistress with the goal she ain’t gonna be drop dead gorgeous but she will be ready to play.

[904Bronco]

I hope that the surgery is a success and that the time off with the Mistress is fruitful

[PhantomEB]

Thank you.

decided no more hiding bronco parts and grabbed my tables from the cargo trailer. Not all parts are out but I figure the emptier I see the tables become…the more productive I will be.



also wanted my main bench a lot more clear for diagrams etc. hoping to get one more roller cabinet as well intermediate box or two to put my red box one on which will make another work bench available too.

Garage looks great and organized! I hope the surgery goes well and is successful.
