I mentioned this same comment on JR's site. I never cared for the Ranger or the Bronco II when they were new. Now my opinion has totally changed. I really enjoy watching you bring them back to life. I'm going to tell my friend Paul about your tailgate repair when we work on his truck this weekend.
Two of my favorites Bronco and Ranger …. loved the older style … Bronco II and Ranger of those years shared similar parts like Falcon and Mustang did in the 60s … I also love FORD … and not on the road dead 😳
Maybe you can get some wide vinyl pin stripes that will cover the bad transition line? Something with a 3/4 inch portion and then a 1/4 inch space with a 1/8 inch stripe.
It's on there in the thumbnail pic and also in the final scenes when I pull it out of the shop. It was pretty nerve racking putting it on. Cause the 3m tape is so sticky. You get one shot to place it.
Thanks Josh! I'm really enjoying these videos, these small trucks are awesome and i'm planning on restoring a Bronco 2 myself as well and i need a lot of help as i am not a mechanic hehe
Next time you use clear get the Tractor supply Majic clear it flows better looks like glass and hides striping. The big but is it is slow to cure, dry to touch in an hour but can take a week to fully cure.
I put 1996 ranger seat belts in my 1980's ranger. The original seat belt design the way it worked when you pulled on it, only worked when hit the brakes or got hit...I don't trust that design. 1996 seatbelt---yank hard on the belts they catch.👍
The grill flashed on the screen when you shot the video outside. Did you replace the grill or is that the one you want to replace? It looked pretty good in the video.
I am shocked you don't have more subs.... Ole JR hasn't given you a plug? Or are you just wanting to grow organicly? Nice video pace.... I sub'd I think I would have bent the tabs up a little on the tailgate handle deal, the tabs that the part you added metal to contact.... Your way is most likely better but I think it would have also worked with less hands on time
