Ford's new Bronco

I'm bummed about this Curt. I want one so I can use it to tour the estate---I've been putting far too many miles on the Packard---plus dem narrow tires is compacting the soil:down:

I'm with ya bro. That manual transmission would be pretty cool and there is no denying that drivetrain, suspension, fuel delivery, and interior are superior in modern rigs. But I can still run the same tires on my 50 year old junk.:smokin:

The list of cannibalization in the last few weeks: axles front and rear x2, drivelines, brake lines, steering, winch, bumpers front and rear, fuel tank, 2 sets of twin sticks on d20, 2 d20 output shafts, 2 speedo cables, tuffy console, and 1 1/2 brake light switches. The broken off cotter pin in the brake light switch is kicking my butt.:steaming:

All to have a vehicle that can't hold a candle to a raptor.:doh:

I'm going to town to buy gear oil today and hopefully a $15 brake light switch. Took 2 cans of oven cleaner and 3 cans of spray paint .....oh and about $50 of oxy/acet because my good buddy welded the rear bumper to the frame real good :frustrated: I did find 3 tools in the bottom of the console.

I did have the donor vehicle, but I consider that one fully depreciated knowing what it's been thru.:smokin: Now what to do with it? :shrug:

Only single guys can get away with that. The boss sees my riches differently. She mumbles about my legacy being a yard sale. :shrug:
