Tom wrangles a herd of first-gen Ford Broncos outside a remote town in Alaska. As Tim, the owner of the vehicles, shows Tom around, it’s apparent that his love of classic SUVs doesn’t start and end with Ford’s iconic two-door 4x4.

In 2005 I worked in the area around Dawson Creek. The beginning of the Alaskan Highway. As the fall season set in and the leaves fell I could see all kinds of cars and muscle cars in yards that were just sitting. One farmer had a several mopars in his yard. Great area to explore for barn finds, if they are still there.

So I recently got Hagerty insurance on my 1975 Jeep J10. It was a Father’s Day present from my wife. It ticked all my boxes old muscle, Jeep, 4x4, and a truck. I’m self taught of what I know about fixing cars. I really enjoyed this episode, I love seeing old 4x4s. (I will say I found it funny that RU-vid started suggestion your channel after I went on Google looking for classic car insurance once.) Hagerty is really the best option in my opinion for classic car insurance. You can beat the price for the coverage and what a great staff. Thank you!

I had a 302 three speed bronco in Kodiak, Alaska in 76. It had been pretty beat up but still got me around the island. I remember going down one day into Kodiak and on the last little hill before dropping into town the right rear axle decided it didn't want to stay in the housing. Made for a bit of a walk and some work replacing the bearing and retainer.

@gac914 5 лет назад

I bought a '75 Bronco brand new off the showroom floor. Paid $6,000 for it, (a LOT of money in '75!) Had the Dana 44, and posi in the rear and limited slip in the front, all from the factory. Was damn hard to get that stuck, either in mud or sand! Wish I still had that truck, although living in Illinois it died a horrible cancerous death from road salt. Near the end, when you opened either door, it would drop down about half an inch! My daughters still comment about looking at a portion of the road through the floorboards if they were riding in it. In those days, as with every American 70's car, rust protection and treated metals were just a pipe dream..... Thanks for this video, brought back a lot of memories!

I thought it would be the most exhausting vehicle to drive of our four ( the others being a 2007 Civic, 2014 RAV4 and 1984 Supra) but it actually turned out to be the most enjoyable of the bunch!

This cracked me up!!! Nice job with passing all those rigs at the start. I'm from Nor Cal and yes we lost a giant Sequoia tree knows as "The Tunnel" tree last year. Glad Tim got a chance to drive through it before it fell. Watching him drive the Mustang it was obvious he was having fun even though Tim is pretty soft spoken There seemed to be remnant of his teenage age years still showing on his face. I mentioned on here before that I pulled a 76 F100 out of the pine trees from my neighbors yard, but the true prize that I've not gotten them to part with is a 74 Bronco. I think it has a 302 as well but the engine is tucked away in the shed. Time will tell, I guess I just have to be patient.

@828enigma6 5 лет назад

Less rusting in AK because they don't use salt on the roads except in early winter. Reason is salt doesn't work below around 20°, so they just use sand after that. And, as noted, the cold helps reduce rusting, unless you do something dumb like putting foam insulation in spaces not meant for it. Holds moisture in.

@@devonriley110 Side-by side several of those Crews in the background were worth more than some of the first-gen Bronco's they were looking at. First Gen Bronco's saw around 13-20+ thousand produced per model year, while those Crew's are closer to 2-4k per year, of which only around 25% were 4x4's.
