Repainted and retired in ‘09. Nice! My wife’s grandpa had a Bronco hunting rig he sold back around then to a guy that wanted to restore it, I always wondered what happened with it. You didn’t happen to buy it out in Jasper did ya? LOL Car guy. Serial entrepreneur. Terrible golfer.

Hook the trailer on for heavier loads. It also mows, discs, plows, throws seed, and does basically everything I need it to do. Tolerance is the virtue of a man without conviction.

Got it started up and running, brakes repaired and drivable, the steering corrected and runs on the highway up to 60 mph now. Entire inside taken down to metal and refinished. Roll bar and interior, rear seat from a Jeep Jk for family comfort. Then to seal all the body work. Finished sealing and painting yesterday!!! Beer and whiskey, 'cause you can't drink bacon!!
