that gauge is awesome! Excited for yall
Thanks Thomas! We love it.
Can’t wait to see you guys at Super Celebration 😊
Yes sir we are looking forward to it.
Finding gremlins during the shake down can be annoying, anxious, exhausting and depressing but fixing them is sooo gratifying!
Thanks Tommy! You are right. The bad thing is when a gremlin you are chasing is the absence of gas. Lol. Thank God I have a working gauge now.
Thanks for contributing to the Bronco community. Your videos are very helpful and appreciated.
Thank you! It was a fun project and we got to meet a bunch of nice folks.
Happy new year!
Happy new year!
Build is awesome!!! Loving the exhaust tone!!!!
Thanks Gus. It definitely announces its presence. Lol
My RTX gauges are back ordered on my 69 mustang. I can’t wait to get my hands on them. Thanks for the video!
You will love them.. Thanks for watching!
My 600 cfm was exactly like that. I installed a 450 cfm quick fuel and that solved all the problems.
Yes sir that sounds about right. I sure don't need a 650 on mine. I was thinking the 500 cfm edelbrock would work out. Thanks
Love your channel, and I appreciate the fact that you continue to make videos after your project is ‘done’ (they’re never done…). Wish my ‘73 was at the stage of yours.
Steve we appreciate that. I will be honest and say it has been difficult lately getting the motivation. The channel just hasn't grown enough to justify the time. We are trying to decide where to go from here. Thanks for your support.
Unfortunate your channel hasn’t got more support, as your videos are very well done. When you think about it, it’s a pretty darn amazing thing you built. Definitely given me the inspiration to tackle my build. I’ll let you know when it’s done. Pretty reasonable to take a break. Would love to see you tackle your 78 Bronco at some point!
The bronco looks great, I like the gauge cluster and the color that picked out for the lights on the gauges, keep me posted on how the bronco is doing, you beat me and finished you’re bronco, I’ll have to get busy and finish mine now, I still have to install my parts that I’ve got for my bronco, I had some health issues that I had to deal with first I’ll get back into working on the bronco here soon
Nic, I am sorry to hear about the health issues. I hope things are getting better. Hang in there you will be finished in before you know it.
@@JasonJonieBuilds thank you I’m doing much better now health wise I’ve got back on doing things on my bronco now
@@nickefgen9219 That is great! Hang in there.
Love it. Great job
Thanks Mike!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Now life is speeding before you with a new speedometer, but at least you know now if you have enough fuel to get ahead...lol Looks great. God Bless
Thanks Jack and yes it is great to know the fuel level now for sure.
@@JasonJonieBuilds So it's your job to keep it filled :)
Happy New Year! So glad you're back. Alas, you're probably going to make my Bronco build cost an extra $1539, now. That Dakota Digital cluster really does look great.
Thanks Ronald! It is one of my favorite things on the Bronco.
I asked if you could make this video and you did and I appreciate that very much. I just purchased the RTX as well (3 month wait for me im in canada) but i'll be getting the bronco ready for it to be installed. Seems like a never ending project. You're bronco is absolutely gorgeous and I appreciate someone who does all the work themselves like I do.
Thanks Jake! The gauges are really worth the wait. I love mine. Good luck on your build.
@@JasonJonieBuilds well thank you ! I also ordered #8 security screws for when I install the dakota, only because it's the most expensive component on my truck and so easily removed (especially being a convertible). Maybe it's just me being paranoid but may be a good tip for you instead of the factory Philips head screws !
That is a great idea!
Happy New Year! Glad to see you guys again for another great video!
Happy New Year! Thanks for your continued support.
AOD's are notoriously very, very temperamental when it comes to their TV cable make sure you keep continuing to monitor and adjust it as needed til it's broken in.
Yes sir. It is much better and the shift points are near perfect now.
Happy New Year….I love the instagram shot….everyone of has been there. I never thought about taking the vent out to get to the back of dash before. I have spent a lot of time upside down under the dash in my truck. It’s nice to enjoy the fruits ( or ice cream) of your labor. Great video,
Happy New Year David! We really enjoyed the day on the Bronco yesterday. I trust it a little more each time I drive it.
Welcome back! We’ve missed you guys! When are we starting on the Big Bronco? 😊
Well I think we are going to be taking a break for a while. Jonie wants me to add on an upstairs room on the house. So projects will have to wait a bit I now. We have a few videos left in us I hope.
Love the videos!! My build is about a month from being done. Installing my RTX this coming week. Watching you drive, I see a gap between your window frame and windshield frames. Is that how the correct fit or something you haven't finished yet? Thx. Absolutely love your build!
I did not have weatherstripping installed in it at that point. We do now. Thanks for watching!
Great video. This is really going to help out when I install mine. Random question for ya. I noticed you have what appears to be a stainless steering column clamp around the firewall column support. Is that something you made or did you purchase that?
Thanks! I made the strap. The one I had was in pretty rough shape.
@@JasonJonieBuilds Thanks. Mine is all beat up as well . Looks like I'll be making one too.
How do you get the lens out of the instrument cluster on a 1973 bronco?
Once the speedometer is out you should be able to remove the bezel screws and remove the glass.
Which top is that??
Bestop
Thanks for watching
How do I get a I believe bronco shirt ?
My shirt was a gift from a friend. They are available just type in I believe Bronco shirt on your browser. Not sure where he got it.
