Nothing to say

I have nothing to say. It's been cold and windy so I haven't been able to work on the Bronco much. I was able to drive it home the other night. We put water in the battery and let it charge overnight and it's held a charge since. So that's one less expense I'll need to make.

I've been thinking about how to build a bumper/tire carrier for the rig. I want something tough and good looking. I've thought about doing 2x4x.188wall rectangle tubing for the bumper and 2x2x.188wall square tubing for the carrier. That route would cost around $130ish for the metal plus some misc. pieces of metal for brackets and whatnot. I could get some free 2-7/8" round tubing. it'd be plenty strong. Just not sure how I'd get a receiver hitch on it or mount the tire carrier. Design work will need done. The problem I have with designing things is... AMY lost my graph paper notebook. It had my shed drawings in it, and my b.o.m. for my shed also. It's gotta be around here somewhere.
