My wife thinks that's cute.

Seriously, I'm a little put out that I'd have to take your bumper off to steal those chrome hooks.

Nothin to fancy. I just screened in the hood vents on JYDs new old hood. Thanks again to JGZ and Viper for gettin it back.

Shawn, that looks great !

Nice, mind if I steal the idea for Bubba Smurf? Of course I'll make them chrome or stainless, lol!

I used a product called Frog Skin that is used on snowmobiles. It is a mesh cloth that allows air flow, but doesn't let water through. It comes in different grades of mesh & shapes/sizes.

You said they were off blue! Crap ! Purple clashes with pink.

I decided to keep my bronco. I have started to work on it again. Goal is to try and get it running and driving by spring if nothing needs to be rebuilt. I cut out the drivers side. Since it's stock height I took my spare from my 79 and am making sure a 37 will fit on stock suspension. So when I go with a 3.5" lift they should clear fine. As of now all will work great. I'll get some pics up later.

un-cut stock suspension tryin to fit a 37.





fender cut.



inner fender cut and widened.



Front at full stuff on factory bump stop. Tire does rub when turning. I plan to run a 3.5" lift with a bump stop so it wont really stuff this hard.

rear cut out.



rear wheel wells "flaired" at filler neck openings.



rear tire at full stuff. I plan to cut and widen the rear wheel wells 2-4". that will give plenty of room for tires.

Sexy, do you have a build tread? If not start one up.

OJ got to move into his new home. Let the upgrade scheduling begin!!

You gotta look close but he's in there!

congrats on the new digs...........detached garage is nice to have

looks like your all set up for the technical support crew to come over and sit on the couch and do some "armchair quarterbacking"

I bet you could park 10 Broncos on that driveway.

I would be happy to have some armchair quarterbacks. Sounds like I have room for about 10. I've got a nice list of mods that I'd like to get done this winter (not counting a possible engine swap). So there should be plenty of opportunity.

The previous owner even left a mini fridge behind so there should even be a few cold ones available for said armchair QB's!

Sweet congrats! That garage is a major upgrade. Now you need more tools!

Congrats! Yes, detached is always cool. Noise transfer from attached garages usually don't make other family members happy!

And if you extend your retaining wall up a couple more feet, you have a built-in RTI ramp!!

Today I built and installed my own gear banger. I've been wanting one for a while now so I decided to build it myself and save some money. Everything I used is stuff I had around my house so I spent a total of $10 on another stock np435 shifter I cut up for this. I wanted to keep my shifter in case this didn't work out and also to have as a spare.

I've noticed some are sloppy, what type of joints / pivots did you use?

I know I'm not the only person working on my Bronco! Today I removed my stock front shock towers and built some new shock mounts on my tube core support inner structure. It will allow my shocks to stop bottoming out and make the ride that much smoother. I also pulled my door inserts and shot some color on them finally. Gotta mask them off and shoot the 2nd color tomorrow or Thursday. I also checked it over and found the radiator is leaking out of both end caps. Anyone have a good one laying around cheap? Guess I'll be taking one of my 3 to a radiator shop to be rebuilt. Any suggestions on a radiator shop?

Painted the inserts. Just need to install them now.

They're too clean! Nah, looks great!
