  • Hey All, In this episode we are out in Checkerboard, Montana area. I flew out to meet up with Wes Nelson @Big.Red.Ford to go for an off-roading adventure in his monstrous slick side. Its sitting on 42" Super Swampers with a massive 545ci Big Block Ford. We had such a fun time out there.

    Great group of guys helping to make the trail better, and each other out. I love all the horsepower, but really liked their respect towards the land. Home run!

    Man, I love the Bronco! I think they are one of the sharpest trucks ever made. I'm bias because I have one. 78 XLT I've owned for 42 years. Kind of a rare one with a bench seat. Black with red interior. 33" BFG tires. Was beautiful for most of those years but, Michigan has taken a toll on the body. I'm planning a total restore and also plan to have a John Kaase 500+ inch Ford, air lockers with just a 4 inch lift and 36 inch tires.

    Big red has best snow and mud tires, best power for all these varied terrains. Also probably best pulling power. Trail Blaser us over powered and not getting good traction with those tires and traction adjustment and parts.
