Ford Bronco Until the mid '90s, the Ford Bronco was famous for being a rough-and-tumble off-road vehicle that had been tackling trails and fording streams since the 1960s. It was also one of the first sport-utility vehicles: a versatile truck then described by Ford as being able to serve as a family sedan, sports roadster, snowplow or farm and civil defense vehicle.

Since metal transfers heat better than rubber, my bet would be metal.

I guess you need to get a heat shield on that new exhaust or re-rout your lines.

Not sure about the hose or steel. Is the fuel line close to a heat source?

They had the hose next to the thermostat housing, but moving it away didn't prove to be any good.

LOL, I've made quite a name for myself. I took it out today and did some climbing, a mud bog, and playing in the sand a little bit, I think the body is ready to tear in two though. I'll try to get pics on friday of the damage.

Pulled the tailgate tonight, and headed back to find the spare tire I left. Took another trip up the mound and this time I broke the tilt on the steering column. I'll have to look up LMC and see if i can't find the parts to make it straight again. When I get the column fixed and check over the whole thing I'm going to try to get a video of the climb.

LOL... when I get mine all muddy like that I leave it dirty for a few days so my neighbor with a jeep can get all jealous. Actually his jeep should be pretty capable, but his extended fenders keep the mud off of the sides.

Maybe you should have a talk with the pastor and ask him to put a good word in for your truck. LOL
