Hello everyone. One of your colleagues was kind enough to give me a card for CCB while I was showing my 1970 EB at the Outrock Car show on Sunday in Castle Rock. Unfortunately did not catch his name -- but he was showing his sister's beautiful 77 Red EB. I hope I get to learn more about the hobby and participate in some events. I restored my 1970 last summer and have enjoyed it ever since. Look forward to meeting you all. Thx |

I'm pretty certain I saw that jewel east bound on C470 a couple weeks back. It's a head turner for sure ! Welcome aboard. |

Welcome aboard. I'm not a big fan of green, but I love that green! Looks awesome! Now you got me thinkin.... Maybe I can get my wife to cave in if I can find a Bronco that matches her favorite pair of shoes? |

Welcome to the club. There are a few of us here in "the Ranch". I can't wait to meet you and check out your rig. And no matter what EFI-Guy says, I like the green! |

Welcome to the club. You have a really nice rig there! I am sure you don't get missed in that thing! What all else did you do to it? Lift, drivetrain, etc... Give us some specs! |

Thanks everyone for all the kind words!!! When I first purchased it, it needed a new gas tank, and just a complete going through. Added the Corbeau seats, 3 1/2 lift kit, Mickey Thompson wheels and tires, removed the stock hard top and added the roll bar and bikini top. Drove her like that in the mountains for a few years before bringing her down to the Ranch for a complete restoration. Corey Swift and his team at Swift Automotive did all the mechanical work, including rebuilding motor and transmission, redoing seals, adding power steering, etc. Porter Auto Body did all of the paint and body work including powder coating the roll bar and bumpers, replacing all of the trim and rubber. Found some parts for the old Koenig Iron Works PTO from a guy in Germany. Thanks again for all the kind words! Taking her back up to the mountains near Buena vista this weekend. Looking forward to meeting you all! Jeff. |

Got her dirty this weekend! Drove up Tincup Pass about as far as we could go... Great test for the green beast and she did great! We got poured on during the drive home -- the little bikini top really isn't quite big enough during a torential downpour -- but so beautiful and so fun! |

Cool, I was up in Taylor park over the weekend, but didn't go up above it. Still good water running down the rivers on this side. Nice rig, BTW. Welcome from Gunnison! |

That drift is usually there until late July. Lots of atvs are usually trying to snow bash it |

Hello everyone. Just a few shots from the weekend. It was absolutely gorgeous on Saturday. We drove from St. Elmo, over Tincup Pass to Mirror Lake and did a little fly fishing. Then drove on down to Tincup and over to Taylor Reservoir -- and then back up Cottonwood Pass (saw a moose!) and down to Buena Vista -- and back to house. What an incredible ride. Saw one other Red Bronco at the Mt. Princeton hot springs as I was fueling up. Had to pass about twenty jeeps along the trip... :) |

There seems to be lots of moose sightings along Cottonwood. I saw my first (and second) Colorado moose, a mother & calf, on Texas Creek, just north of Cottonwood. Sorry I didn't know you were in the neighborhood, I would have met up with you. Chad |

Hello everyone, Just a few pics from my latest roadtrip. Buena Vista to Aspen via Independence Pass. Pulled the beast up to valet parking at the St. Regis and got some real kind comments. Pleased to report that everything went well (despite a little rain on the trip home on Sunday). |
