Clearly, their values are all screwed up.

Right now we have the "OJ Bronco huckmasters Assoc" crown and the "Bricks can fly Bronco Assoc" crown. You guys sit down over some bbq and cocktails and merge the two into one otherwise the television and sponsorship money will be spread too thin! haha!
Don't schedule during KOH next year and I'll try and make it. Have a blast!
I Think me and Steve will start the Autofab Air Force Bronco Squadron. Have fun in Hammertown playing with the rock donkeys Greg. Hee Haw

Yeah, well, it's Wednesday for me! Why the heck aren't you joining the festivities on Friday if you're off? Pussy! You afraid an extra afternoon on the beach will send the Yikes-mobile to the grave?

The "King" says to bring my A-game... so it shall be! I dug through our scrap pile at work and found a handful steel that should make my shock mount repair a piece of cake. I figure some combination of two or three of these should do the trick!

To all you wanna be royalty, the Bronco says (in it's best Asian voice, "You wanna f#$% on me!?
You just admitted it Steve I'm still King.


If I were you Brian I would reward those kids by picking them up from school Friday afternoon in the Bronco and do a smokey burnout as you head north for Pismo.

I'm planning on getting there Friday before dark but I do not intend on playing until the masses arrive Saturday so I don't have a repeat of my birthday weekend break down blues.

Suspension: PREPPED!

If Philo is right, this repair will hold up forever as it is about as ugly as repairs get. Crappy materials, little to no cleaning, crappy welder on top of crappy weldor. It's a repair not even a mother could love!

I also figured out that the dividing piston seal is trashed... oh well, it ain't getting fixed. Looks like this Bronco will be competing with a bum leg!

Well done Steve! At least you're working on it! Now, where did that scary fab thread go? There's a picture I wanted to post in there.

IT should last forever. Ugly stuff refuses to break because people will see it over and over again. If it was good looking no one would notice it.

Also, a year down the road be prepared to get told it won't hold up or work over and over again.

Haha, got me there, but your huckfest apparently isn't enough to attract the true king of huck, RG, like our little rock fest has. There's not a dune at pismo big enough for him, so he's racing a TTB rig in KOH! Bet he breaks in the first canyon...haha!

You won't be ridiculed Steve. Unless it falls off on the first hit. That reminds me...we should have prepared a ”first break” award this year. Then even major fails can be fun.

A few haloweens ago I bough a plastic tombstone that reads "REST IN PIECES"
Every wheeling trip whoever breaks the best signs it and dates it and it is basically a traveling trophy!

Maybe you should interrupt an hour or two of your beauty sleep to get here early like everyone else!
