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!

The lineup

lights on, no one in sight... creepy

found a little track in the middle of nowhere

All the pictures so far are my buddy Elliott's (AKA DWPHOTO) shots.

Tom sure did, Flikr was having issues yesterday so I stopped posting pictures.

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

Custom Tooling

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

only1mikey · Post by **only1mikey** » Tue Nov 13, 2012 10:27 am

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!
