Ford Bronco rock crawler hasn’t been on the road in years and it’s time for an epic trip!

This episode of The Dirthead Shed we drag an early Ford Bronco back to the shop . It’s time for this forgotten project car to get the attention it deserves and be reliable enough for an epic rock crawling trip in the Sierra Mountains of California. Follow along as Dirthead Dave and a couple of friends make it happen.

I have to say, I am loving the more frequent content. DED was good but waiting for new episodes/seasons was not. Excited to see you guys channels grow and evolve.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks! Me too

[@DIGGER19860]

Im so glad you guys are not on motor trend anymore. Your channels will blow up after the non compete crap ends.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks! I hope it does

The new camera and sound are great... Loving all the editing work... The content (as always) is the best... Thanks for going on this KZbin adventure for us... You have too many skills and personality to not share...

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks. It’s a whole new hustle for me

[@chriszasada9756]

You got this Dave, you and Fred have way too many skills to share and teaching the rest of us the right way,wrong way and the better way.

[@pra3t0rian]

That buggy is one of the best looking buggies I have seen. Glad you got it purring again.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks. It’s pretty cool

[@grub1776]

From one Dave to another this is the best kind off 4x4 "content" on youtube. Thanks for no stupid intro or crap music just the good sutff.

[@thedirtheadshed]

I’ll keep doing it

[@dumbestoyster]

That small little gusset you put on the tire carrier, just gives me so much more confidence in your work and that you're the man! How many spares have we seen laying on the trail, sheared straight from the square tube.. right after someone's slapped it and said, she ain't going nowhere...

[@thedirtheadshed]

When I raced in koh the first 10 miles were littered with spare tires and tool bags

[@TheeXzuma]

When the engine started for the first time the closed captions said [music] 🤣 to everyone’s ears haha

It was referred to as a fifi at one point. Probably before it got locked up

[@717UT]

On a different note, take your Mazgrande out wheeling and make a couple videos on it! We'd all love to see more of it and you deserve to drive it more. Win-win!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Right!!

[@markfehrenbach4204]

Keep the videos please, between watching you and Fred these are great videos showing even the simplest stuff is exciting to watch.👍

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks. I’ll keep posting

[@gamblerspec]

I was just thinking, "does Dave do car repairs?" as you mentioned that you dont really work on engines. One thing I can see already is your eye for improvement. Every video is getting better and I know it will continue to get better until it matches your fab work, which is awesome. Good job Dave!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thank you. I know just enough to get myself in trouble

Dave I like your videos. I’m sorry to see dirt every day end. I thought you were a very nice addition to that show. I hope your channel blows up.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks. Ded was a great time

[@rhythminblues8]

Great installment Dave!

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thank you.

[@drumdude68]

This is exactly where you need to be, Dave. You are adding in details that has been missing from DED content, with the format length and other little minutiae that matters in completing a rig build. Although you don't have the Motor Trend budget, I think this channel is going to blow up to where you can probably be a full-time KZbinr and leave OPP. Consequently, don't be afraid of delivering sponsored content if it pays the bills. Best of luck on the new hustle. You are your own boss now.

[@thedirtheadshed]

Thanks. I think it’ll work too. It’s gonna be a hustle for sure

So stoked you’ve stuck to the videos, I’ve been a fan for a while and you have a knack of explaining clearly, even a meathead like me can learn something !! One question thou, a while back on Dirt Every Day Daily you talked of your early learnings and showed a white book on chassis / suspension / geometry. Being an Aussie I lost Motortrend shortly after but always wanted that book!! What was it again?? Good luck Dave, and thanks for the memories

[@thedirtheadshed]

[@jimt9661]

I use a different style of spare tire mount on trailers I work on, but it would translate well to the offroad world. I mount tires on trailers with a trailer axle spindle. I then put a spare trailer hub on it, and bolt the tire to the hub, so the tire snugs up to the frame. It not only keeps the spare with you, but gives you an extra hub, lug nuts and a bearings and a cap. It's nice to mount the spare, and end up with it keeping a few consumable parts as well! Love your work! Video quality is a big leap forward. Best of luck!

[@thedirtheadshed]

That’s a common practice in the off road world as well
