First Look at The New Fun-Haver Ultra4 4400 Ford Broncos! Vaughn Gittin Jr. And Loren Healy Are Stoked!

When Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Loren Healy are this excited about their new rides, you know they must be really cool. And with all the hype surrounding the new Bronco from Ford, it comes as no surprise that these two would be making the most of their incredible new race versions. Nobody is going to try to proclaim these are modified new Broncos, but they sure do have the right bodies on them and their heritage certainly comes from all the Ford Bronco race trucks of the past. Remember, there have been a lot of iconic Broncos in history and they are one of the reasons Ford wanted to bring back the iconic model.

I haven’t driven a new Bronco, but what I’m hearing is good things from previous Bronco fans and converts alike. Below is the description from the video by Vaughn and his team. Let us know what you think!

Here is the video description:

Hard saying goodbye to the OG Brocky, but our new #Ultra4Racing Ford Bronco’s are absolutely incredible!! So much knowledge and passion went into creating the perfect Broncos for Loren Healy, my Fun-Haver Off-Road teammate, and myself! I can not wait for the first race in these! #FordBronco

Making History: Watch This Incredibly Brilliant And Simple 1900s Ratcheting Wrench Get Made From Scratch – Awesome Skills

We always love the work that Mr Hand Tool Rescue does. Whether he is working on a Bridgeport, making an apple peeler new again, or getting down an dirty fo fix an anvil, this guy is fun to watch. The man has great mechanical, fabrication, and creative skills that allows him to see parts that are not there and then make them lots of times to complete a job. But what about making the whole job from scratch? That’s the deal here as he takes patent drawings from about 110+ years ago and uses to them to create the thing in the drawings, a very basic and simple ratcheting wrench.

As he is quick to point out, this is not the first ratcheting wrench ever developed, those date from deep into the 1800s but this is one of the most smart and simple designs we have ever seen. It has exactly three parts. Those three parts are not as easy as they sound though and you will watch Mr Hand Tool Rescue employ his fabrication and machining skills here in ways we have never seen him lean on them before.

We think you will dig this video for the cool result and the methods to get there!

Solid Axle Swapping The NBS Chevrolet Truck Continues: Let The Welding Begin!

I hate watching these videos, because all it does it make me want to buy an IFS 4×4 so I can solid axle swap it. It’s been too long since I had a lifted truck and now I want one. Thanks a lot Bruce Cook! I did not need to add anything to the list of things I want to buy and build.

In this new video series of his, Bruce is taking on a new off-road project and doing things a bit differently. He’s built other trucks and stuff, but always with help from different shops or manufacturers. This time he wants to do as much as is humanly possible, on his own from his wheelchair. As he puts it, he’ll have to have some help with heavy lifting, but nothing us upright folks wouldn’t have to have a hand with. He also knows what he can and can’t do, like setting up the new gears in the axles, but that’s about knowing his skill level and has nothing to do with the chair or his injury.

As a big fan of Solid Axle Swaps in general, and with one floating around in my head for a future project, this one is right up my alley. And since we like following other folks project around here, we figured this one looked like fun. So watch, and let us know what you think. And maybe Bruce will inspire you to get out into the garage to do some wrenching this weekend.
