This Bronco was selling for $22,000.00
All the best rigs were the half built ones.
This rig used a vintage WWII components, the fuel tank was two jerry cans.
This couple was serious about there rig, they even dressed the part.
Just another classic.

Here is the map of our Hackberry creek run. I enjoy going over maps like watching t.v. but more.

$30 worth of steel

Its starting to take shape. The new tubing is 1/8 inch 2x3. Its not to heavy but strong now with this I wont have to add a bumper so in a way I'm keeping it light. My goal is an "Improved"(its a matter of opinion) Cj with factor looks.
This plate welded on here was a factory pieceit ties the A shaped rails to the rear crossmember. Here I have trimmed the ends at the same angle as the factory rear crossmember.
The project is moving along, I can tell you that I was not planning on diving this deep, but its working out really good.

Rear crossmember

Good by old
After evaluating the situation I decided to dive in and rebuild the whole rear cross member


rear of frame sans cross member50 year old spring hangers, still good for another fifty. That is my goal, to build this rig to last another 50 years but this time on some pretty tough trails and maybe some long crazy vintage style overlanding trips.
