Hey guys ive decided to start a thread for my bronco after owning it now for a year! I love this truck, and hope for many years and many adventures to come in it.

growing up, i rode shotgun in my fathers bronco nick named hobby horse.
that inspired me to name mine hobby horse 2.0





mine is nothing compared to what his was but im getting there slowly..

my most recent mod was replacing the moldy carpet and replacing it with roll in liner, and adding some manual hubs.



i knew the carpet was pretty bad, and causing a stink but i had no idea it was this bad until i had pulled it up.

Got back from TDS a few hours ago and the whole trip was a fiasco. But there were a few moments that made it worth it. The motor home superheated the brakes, boiled all the fluid out of the lines, and caught on fire going down the grade into borrego. Then the first morning there I went to the play ground and turned my transmission pan into Swiss cheese. I drove 30 miles into brawley and found a tire shop that had an e4od pan up in their rafters. So I got a new filter from the local parts store and some fluid did a quick change at camp then we were off again. I got very lucky, however there were 20 milean hour winds most of the weekend and some very disrespectful campers who were cutting through our camp and getting very close to the motor home.we decided to cut our losses and head home early. On the way back up the grade the motor home blew a tire that then got wrapped around the rear axle. The trip could have gone much better but also could have been much worse.

hey guys ive got a newb question for you, i bought the bronco with the 6" drop bracket kit utilizing the stock radius arms. Im planning on doing alot of harder wheeling in the future, i know the drop brackets are known to break the frame, if i get a set of extended radius arms can i continue using the inner drop brackets safely?
