    Hey everyone, I’m thinking about adding a fan shroud to my Bronco and I was curious as to which one is recommended by people who have one on their 6 cylinder. Please let me know which one you have and if there are any tricks to installing it. Thanks!

    C Bushing Angle for 1.5” lift

    Hey everyone, I’m going to ditch my worn out original suspension and I’m thinking about going with 1.5” taller springs instead of new factory height springs. A few years ago I had a shop install new bushings in the front end (C bushings, track bar, & radius arms) and I’d like to know if I can...

    Alternator Upgrade

    I’ve been thinking about upgrading the alternator on my Bronco and going to a 1 wire set up. It seems like this can be accomplished by swapping over to a GM 1 wire alternator or by purchasing one of the ones offered by some of the Bronco venders. The GM 1 wire seems to be about $100 less than...

    Will a Chevrolet S10 NV3500 boot up to a SBF

    Does anyone know if an NV3500 out of a Chevy S10 will bolt up to a 302-351 Windsor and work with the stock D20? It seems like most people source that trans from a Jeep or a Dodge truck if I’m not mistaken.

    Gauge cluster intermittently lighting up

    Hey everyone, I was driving home the other night and my gauge cluster decided to light up afor the first time in about 20 years. Needless to say, I was shocked and it light up after I pulled the headlight switch which I’ve done quite a few times. For some reason it’s decided to stop lighting...

    Dana 30 Hub Bearings

    Hey everyone, I haven’t been on here in quite a while but I’m driving my Bronco as much as I can and it’s still going strong! That being said, I don’t know when the last time was that the hub bearings where inspected and I’m wondering if that’s something I should do or have done in the near...

    170ci Fan Shroud

    Hey Guys, I’m thinking about adding a fan shroud to help the cooling system on my Bronco. I had the motor rebuilt about two years ago and I installed a new water pump, thermostat, temp sensor, and radiator before I put the motor back in it. It’s going to be a hot summer, (supposed to be...

    Speedometer not lighting up

    The speedometer in my Bronco has not light up for a while and I’m just getting around to fixing it. The high beam light does come on when I switch my headlights to bright so I’m assuming that there’s power going to the speedometer? If this is the case, should I start with replacing the light...

    Questions about a 2.5” lift for the front and 3.5” lift for the rear

    So I’m thinking about moving forward with a suspension lift earlier than I had anticipated due to my newly acquired Bronco Lean. My springs are the originals and I’m sure they’re sagging so I’m thinking it makes sense to just get the lift now and install it since it looks like I will have to...

    Another Bronco Lean Question

    Hey guys, I dropped off my Bronco two weeks ago to have new Energy Suspension bushings installed and I stopped by today to have a look at it since they’ve completed the install and moved on to another repair I’ve asked them to address. I immediately noticed that it’s sitting at least an 1.5”...

    Question about installing new Radius Arm Bushings

    Hey everyone, I was planning on replacing all of the front suspension bushings this winter since it's normally too cold to drive it much and I won't mind it being down for a week or two. However, I just noticed that the Radius Arms are not tightly secured to the frame anymore and I'd like to...

    Ordered the wrong wheels

    So I've been waiting to order new wheels since there's nothing wrong with my current ones other than the fact that they're ugly as sin. I poked around on 4 Wheel Part's website and filtered the selections based upon the options that were supposed to be able to fit my year, make, and model. I...

    Patching holes left by old roll bar

    Hey everyone, I removed the old roll bar that had been in my Bronco for god knows how long and replaced it with a 4pt bar from Tom's. My reason for doing so will more than likely sound silly but ever since I was a kid I've always hated the way the old one looked and preferred the look of the...

    Front driveshaft rebuild

    Hey guys, I'm still in the process of fixing items on my Bronco and I'm ready to tackle some drive-train items now. Below is a picture of my front driveshaft and as you can see, it past worn out and leaking grease. I'd like to know how difficult it is to re-build the driveshaft and if there...

    Price estimate for Floor pan replacement

    Hey guys, The next step for my Bronco is to replace my rusted out floor pans. I'm not able to weld them myself so I'm going to have to have the work done professionally at a shop. I'm planning sourcing the floor pans myself so I would only be paying the labor to have the old ones cut out...

    Seat belt options for rear bench seat

    Hey everyone, I've recently installed a rear folding bench seat from Tom's Bronco Parts. My Bronco does not have rear seat belts and hasn't for at least 35 years. It also does not have a rear cage that I could mount shoulder belts on to. I'm interested in installing something more than just...

    Roll bar installation

    Hey guys, I bought a Standard 4 point roll bar from Tom's Bronco parts and it came in yesterday. Are there any installation tips that anyone has? I can't imagine there being much to this but it never hurts to ask. Also, did those of you that have installed a new roll bar/roll cage get your...

    Questions about where to mount rear seat

    Hey guys, I bought a fold and tumble rear seat from Tom's Bronco Parts and it came in yesterday. My question is, how did those of you who have installed aftermarket rear seats determine how far back or forward to mount your seats? Ideally I would like to have plenty of leg room as my kids and...

    Center Console options

    Hey guys, I'm ready to purchase a center console for my Bronco and I was wondering which ones everyone likes the best and why. Also, my Bronco still has the factory bulkhead so I would also like to know which center consoles will fit with the bulkhead still in the vehicle. Thanks!

    Windshield angle

    Hey everyone, I've been driving my Bronco quite a bit lately and I'm in the middle of the "finer tuning stage" and I've noticed that my windshield seems to be angled further back than my '77 was and this is making it harder to see out of since I'm staring at the top of the windshield frame...
