As a fellow ontario bronco owner, I'd recommend swapping your tie rod to ontop, just need to ream it out or you ream it and install a sleeve so it's not hour glass. Easier on steering parts and handle way better. Your radius arms are a weak point since you went with drop brackets over extended radius arms. I would recommend plating them, they fold in half easy.
@@phantomwalker8251 completely disagree. I ran TTB for 12yrs, with 35s, locked, 16" of wheel travel in the front. Jumped it and drove it down the highway. When you understand it is fun. I now have d60 and ORI's on 40s, its tougher but it was way more fun with TTB.
@@phantomwalker8251 second, the TTB is a d44. If your going to go through all that to solid axle atleast put a d60 in. But anyone that says it's junk just doesn't understand how it work, couldn't figure out how to get it to work.
Love those old broncos my buddy owned one in mint condition he use to own a autobody shop. He owned a pile of old classics but the bronco was a real special one as far as I'm concerned.
That parts truck is pretty rare. crew cab bullnoses are hard to come across. Especially one with a Big block out of a Lincoln! Looks like they got a crew cab bumpside too.
@@RayleighCriterion I've owned Ford, GM, and Dodge vehicles. I'm not necessarily partial to any particular brand. I will tell you this the only ones to have NEVER come home on a wrecker or leave me stranded were the Ford products I've owned. And believe me when I say the Fords were by far not the newest nor were they in the best condition of the vehicles I've owed.
When ever I’ve had to deal with Ford frame rivets, I’ve used an angle grinder to remove the head til it was flush. Then I’d use a drill with about an 1/8" drill bit to drill hole deep enough to clear the thickness of the frame. Then a punch and hammer. Out usually in one wack. The 1/8" hole relieves the tension of the rivet.
We had a Wrangler and the absolute best top was folded over screen mesh. Gives feeling of still being open and all the shade. Drop a flap & add buckles & zero wind noise.
l/c,s are not simple.. by any stretch.. your rear diff,front diff,e brake, to fix,is a horror story.. that ttb, is a disaster ford never should of done. easiest fix, is a 1979 d44. front diff. CANT BEAT DANA SPICER. O.K... thats ttb,was fords idea,,not dana.,. my bronco has d60 disc rear,lsd, d44 8 stud locker front, zf 5sp,1356 transfer. &, kills toyotas..cost so far after 14 yrs, inc buy price of 3.5k, around 7k. 2.5k on w/tires. 16 x 10 with 35" d/cepec. no l/c runs 35,s std.. fords do. no mods..
Rich, that tree is called a 'Jacaranda', and has a really nice purple flower in summer. Hope you're enjoying the road-trip. Cheers from Sydney, Australia.
Loved this video - I inherited an 84' 302 last year and I only DREAM of being able to put in a roll cage like that some day. I guess I should probably get it running first though!
@7:58 Time for a wasp delete there boys! Derek easing into the cooler all nonchalantly ..... grabbing some cold snacks and baiting Rich with the Peak variety was HI Larious.
I saw you guys passing Derek on a VGG episode in South Dakota so I had to come over and check you out, plus I have an illness for Broncos. New subscriber, NOT disappointed!
I have a '79 f150 and I took the rivets out with a dremel and a punch. Definitely was a hard job to line the holes back up but the rivets didn't mess it up much. A little filing and done.
Love you guys are picking up these old fords! I have acouple. Love that alot of folks dont seam to like them. Just makes them all the more cheaper for spare parts and to keep them going😎🤙
Meanwhile, those of us not already sold on the Bronco are admiring that somewhat rare 2-door 90-95 4Runner parked right behind it. Whoever that seller is, I'd enjoy a gander at his entire collection.
I had a 1980 which was the first 4x4 with IFS, let me tell you it's a game changer you don't lose traction in the whoops and you can climb anything, mine only had two shocks on the front axle and went into a death wobble under freeway braking, I built my own quad shock towers, and a couple years later Ford came out with those standard, there isn't a single Ford 4x4 pickup part on it they will not fit or not the same especially the brake calipers which are stainless steel on the bronco and they're some kind of fiber stuff that will almost kill you when the brake pads fall out and the e-brake cable snaps, that exhaust is coming through the back window you can't have it down when you drive, they're very easy to work on you can change it rear axles just like changing a tire as long as you take it to a machine shop and press a new bearing on.
I have been running a new screening plant this week, first thing I told that brand new Deutz was don’t think about what happened to your Deutz cousin in Ontario. Those guys have moved on to a Ford Bronco. :). Thanks for sharing!
I have been working on a 1976 Ford F250 for the past several years and I have bought many parts from All 4 Fun Off Road. They have always been super great people to deal with and their prices have always been very fair and reasonable. If you need an OEM part, look them up. Chances are they might have it and you won't pay an astronomical price for it either!
Awesome. I have a 96 Bronco daily driver and I love it. I've been wanting to do the same modifications to mine. Mine is stock towing package lift with 32 x 11.50 Kenda klever m/t and they are too loud. Stock 15" wheels.
I put a 4'' lift on an 89 f150 and a 93 f150 and in both install directions I believe it mentions an angle drill.The torch made quick work of the rivets.Like he said you can catch a couple of holes for the drop down brackets and drill surounding holes very easy.
For those rivets a good air hammer and chisel will knock the heads right off then switch to a punch to knock them out. Works slick once you get the feel for the angle of the chisel.
Did a 4” (with new leaf) lift on the exact same truck, took me 8 hours. That’s with air arc gouging, torches and an air hammer in a welding shop. Did everything alone, and on a rusty Saskatchewan bronco
Great looking truck! I bought an 86 Bull Nose last year. Fully optioned xlt version. It already had the 4” lift with 33” tires on it. One thing i highly recommend is a set of extended radius arms. Although my truck had a great ride as it was. The arms made the ride even plusher. Now it rides as nice as an escalade down the road. And it gives it a bit more travel for off roading.
I grew up in these old manual fords.. Trucks too. You got yourself a Nice little stump jumper now. But having that weak motor is a blessing.. You throw that coyote motor in there and it's going to break things. lol.. Probably have to go to 1 ton axles then.
Thanks for buying moog. American made is the way to go. US or Canadian is the the best typically. Atleast it should be. I worked in a moog factory for a month in my home town 1.5 hours north of KCMO up 71 hwy and assembled tie rod ends to get a little cash to head to college in the late 90s. They were VERY VERY VERY picky about quality. I probably had to do a lot atlest and sheer test every hour to make sure the medal had no defects in the forging process done on site. I know first hand they make quality. Factory work wasn't my thing, nor was it easy but I'm one to try everything to obtain more knowledge everyday. You needed to be a Beast to do that work. Love your channel. Keep up the good content and keep buying north American were you can as long as quality stays #1. Sadly Taiwan makes some pretty decent stuff too for now but run from than Chinese and India stuff. Cheap crap as a rule because their labor staff is either given scraps a day or mostly slave and child labor. That brea1ks my heart.💔 keep doing what you do. Been watching a long time, apparently You Tube in subscribed me so I missed a few. My apologies. You deserve the viewer and likes paycheck that they keep screwing with! Love God and love others, and when you have time after that, love anything mechanical or electronic. That's my philosophy anyway!
The Vice Grip Garage cameo was AWESOME!!!!
Derek sightings are always MINT!!!👌
Thought I saw it, then had to back it up.
Timestamp? Lol
Derek in the background grabbing beer and then doesn’t even show up in the video was hilarious!
He _was_ in the video, if he hadn't been in it you wouldn't have seen him, dopey.
He probably exchanged some cold snax for coolant. Had a little extra in the car i'm guessin.
@@Jay-lc1nh Help me understand! Can a guy just get a wobble pop?
He's shown a couple of times in the opening, as this is only EP1, I'm guessing he'll appear in later episodes.
Foreshadowing
Seeing Dereck grabbing a case of wobbly pops in the gas station was the humour I needed today
I had a hey I know that guy is that Derek as well.
Gotta have a cold snack
Yup the good ol “Cold Snacks”
7:01 Wobble Pops are popular with all million plus Tubers.
"Hey, I rekonize that feller."
Right😂
When he said "take a look underneath" and the camera pans to an underbelly that looks like every truck I've owned or seen, I realize how lucky I am to live in the south lol
Every time I slam my doors shut on my Ram shipping crate, I weight reduce at least a pound of Minnesota Gold. You don't need rocker panels.
Yeah same, living here in nthn nsw Australia I was like, that looks a bit dirty lol
Yeah man it blows here in rust belt
@@PaulyOutdoors actually on a truck you dont. A car or uni body yeahhhhh i see cars daily the rocker panel(ala frame) is gone.
I live in canada...
Soooo we’re just going to ignore Derek in that gas station? I smell a colab coming. Or I hope so anyway lol
He put the Peak in before he took beer out.
I think they use his shop later on in the trip
There is one coming. there was a post on Facebook about it
Production quality on this vidya is great. The work Rick does is great...pair that with great production, Best automotive series yet.
Love the funky music

Will be checking out his website for that roll bar kit for sure.👍
VGG at 7 minutes! Totally grabbing the Cold Snacks LIVE!
And dropping in the Peak coolant for Rich! What a nice guy!
My 2 favorite vehicle UA-cam channels… Deboss Garage and Vice Grip Garage…
Love those old broncos my buddy owned one in mint condition he use to own a autobody shop. He owned a pile of old classics but the bronco was a real special one as far as I'm concerned.
And so The Bronco rides into frame this series of videos is gonna be so good to watch
That's way too much... Perfect!🤣😂🤣
Love the Derek cameo!!!

Great content Rich, bring on the colab with Derek. It’s like you know exactly what we want.

Vice grip!!!!
Someone else noticed that
I like how its awesome when you buy all the bits while driving it home makes so much sense with the taxes etc.
"Yeah, it's got scary body roll, so we're gonna give it a lift kit and bigger tires!" Lol!
I have worked on the Blue Bronco @11:18 when I lived in Albany. I wish I was still there and had met you Deboss!

Southern Oregon here. O wow you were right by me, awesome
And that cameo by Derrick,
👌classic!👌 Can't wait for the next episode.
We had a Wrangler and the absolute best top was folded over screen mesh. Gives feeling of still being open and all the shade. Drop a flap & add buckles & zero wind noise.
Great video. Really cool shop to work with by the looks of it. First thing that came to mind was if you aren't dirty you ain't Rich.
Watching them change the suspension on this makes me really appreciate the simplicity of a land cruiser

Derek took all the wobble pop and cold snacks! I'll be dipped! 😁
Never thought I'd live to see the bullnoze fords getting the spotlight.
Lol Vice Grip Garage in the background @7:10 love it
Watching this in Glasgow in February, loving the Oregon sunshine 😎
I absolutely loved this video Rich! Can’t wait for the next one in this series!
Rich, that tree is called a 'Jacaranda', and has a really nice purple flower in summer.
Hope you're enjoying the road-trip.
Cheers from Sydney, Australia.
yup,really nice to cut down,got rid of mine. & those tree,s the council plants that drop nuts. like walking on marbles. ausie,. s.a..
Awww Schnapp!!!... The Peak Anti-Freeze Strikes Again!..... Can't Wait For Episode 2!!!!...
I like those old Broncos, nice little runabouts.
Rich this was absolutely cool, I've dreamed of a situation like this.
You just went and friggen did it. Miss my 79 Bronco.
Old cars are fun
You certainly get ambitious during your road trips Rich! This was a good watch, I’m pretty pumped about this project.👌👍
3:14 “No exhaust leaks” Rich: “I hear an exhaust leak” 😂
Bronco's gonna want a bus motor, too!
cummins are too heavy,too gutless std.. theres better options for a diesel. & not IH. or chev.
Good on ya B&B for hooking em-up on a bay.
Nice little cameo from Big D at VGG there swapping out the wobble pops for Peak! 🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't agree more that it looks like something's missing with the top off. Love the content!
This the kind of bronco I'll buy in a heart beat.. keep it simple 👍
Did the very same rivet grind and drill to 80s Ford vans in Oregon, and on trips to St. Jacobs Ontario at Country Choice Light Trucks!
Saw this in the first minute of release, new record.
32min is my record, I think I got 1 min I want to say 1 second, but it’s been a while.
Hey guys, was great running into you on Powertour in St Louis. I was the dude in the giant sombrero.
Great video brother.
Derek tried to do thee ol, sneaky sneaky with the peaky
Hey man I wanted to say the cinematography is fantastic.
You guys are really stepping all your stuff up.
Was awesome seeing VGG 😎
Derek grabbing beers, a great shop with a great group of guys. And some good road video. Another great video from deboss! What an adventure
I think he's secretly a Ford lover.....
Most people deny that they are after they own a few.
Thank you for saving my favorite model Bronco, can't wait for the follow up
Loved this video - I inherited an 84' 302 last year and I only DREAM of being able to put in a roll cage like that some day. I guess I should probably get it running first though!

Talk about baby-faced - Uncle Rich looks thirty with that clean shave and Dad's aviators!! I was waiting for a segue into a manscaped advert...

Really awesome how those guys helped you out with the truck
Nice!! It is a night and day difference!
Great videos. Editing and everything is top notch! Love em!
7.3l gas swap instead of a coyote, and get a paintless dent removal guy to fix the roof. Love the cameos with VGG.
Who cares if the paint on the roof gets jacked, he's gonna paint the whole thing anyways at some point.
Love you guys are picking up these old fords! I have acouple. Love that alot of folks dont seam to like them. Just makes them all the more cheaper for spare parts and to keep them going😎🤙
This is awesome. Appreciate the work you put into these.
Hey Rich this is an awesome build on the run across America to Canada

Like the cameo of Derek from vice grip garage grabbing some cold snacks
Does a fella travel all the way to Oregon just to get some wobble pops?
nope, probably not.
Travel to Oregon I'll give ya a free Ford 400m
Dodge or Jeeps never have wobble issues
One of your best vids yet Rich. Cant wait to see the rest of the episodes!
Can't beat a little old school cool

Great close out music for the evening drive to the meet and greet.
