Re: Mike's Ocho Cuatro Bronco build aka White Lightning
pictures from last weekend's little getaway
The map
That map up there might as well just be tossed. Only things we followed were the start and stop points. Nothing but barbed wire and locked cattle gates. Think that stopped us??? Not a chance!
freezing at home
freezing in Gorman
The lineup
lights on, no one in sight... creepy
found a little track in the middle of nowhere

Re: Mike's Ocho Cuatro Bronco build aka White Lightning
Thanks for all the kind words fellas. It was a nothing day trip but ended up working out.
water pump bolts backed out, so I gotta pull it again! Anyways temp climbed and I ended up having to shut her down on the freeway.
I tightened the bolts but the RTV seal is compromised so it still leaked so I had to top if off a few times on the way home

Cool like a cucumber.

Dude... I love that sunset-ish night pic of the Bronco!
That brick nose Bronco hat is badass too! Ha ha
Agree with Tony, other two favorite pics are the droop and bump pic in that same sequence

Mike the gps location is sick. What did you do with your radio and ac/heat controls. And where can I get that hat sick as hell .B.N.F.L

Re: Mike's Ocho Cuatro Bronco build aka White Lightning
Ac is still in the same spot, radio is long gone, the one that came with the truck died like two months after I got the truck if that.
I now run something very similar to this behind the aluminum panel...

The hat was a gift from a friend, he purchased it at a garage sale for like a buck!
Oh and the hat is a first gen full size bronco not a 80-86 I am pretty sure, either way, it's cool as hell!
