    Lots of differing opinions on this one! If you had a Bronco, how would you modify it?

      I’d start by not canceling shows people actually want to watch for dumbass shows like “spoolin up” or “car fix”. Gettin rid of shows that actually mean something.

    I remember driving south from Bend, Oregon and seeing Fred Williams parked in a parking lot along Highway 97 with this Bronco on his trailer. I told my wife "hey, I think that's Fred Williams from Dirt Every Day!" We turned around and I got the chance to talk with him for a few minutes. Super cool dude, very down to earth!

    Fred and Dave are my everyday hero's. Taking what can be best described as the most desirable, over priced (flippers after greedy dealer markups) vehicle of the last year (surpassing the new Corvette and that thing Landrover calls a Defender, which is indefensible) and turning it into an absolute farm/trail monster.... Is just about the greatest thing I've seen you build. Love it!

    How to destroy a Bronco. You should do the proper way, welding the back section of the cab, using a shorter bed, so it has lesser overhang. And using the original body panels to build the bed lateral section, for a more clean design.
