    Are ARB switches the same for both lockers and compressor? (+ did ARB change switch cover design?)

    During the course of my years-long build, some of the ARB switches and covers have gone missing 🤬. I'll need to either replace missing bits or order a new set. I'm missing 2 switches and 1 cover (Compressor). Does anyone know if the switch for the compressor is the same switch that is used for...

    After market hard top headliner??

    After many months of being told by Bronco Hut that the 3-piece fiberglass headliner inserts I had ordered from them were "almost ready to ship", it turns out that they have no product to ship and will not be able to fill the order (refunded already, so they took care of that pronto). I do...

    Need advice on must-have Front Runner rack accessories

    I'm going to take advantage of the Black Friday sale at Front Runner Outfitters to order a Slimline II rack and side rails. Does anyone have opinions on must-have rack accessories for general off-road/camping applications? Thanks!

    Custom insulated canvas top for BC Broncos frame

    I'm wondering if anyone has ideas, suggestions, referrals to anyone who could produce a high-quality, insulated canvas soft top to fit on a BC Broncos soft top frame. Icon 4x4 makes their own very nice version, but only for their builds. Jonathan Ward has done a stellar job with the seams...

    onX Offroad GPS app?

    There is currently a 30% discount for this app, and I'd like to know if anyone has experiences to relate, positive or negative. I searched the forums but found no mentions. I would imagine that if this is a useful off-road app that it would have penetrated our user base...

    Steering column cover (bezel) for 2" aftermarket column

    I have an Ididit tilt manual column (2" dia). My goal would have been to either go with the stock style bezel (black ABS plastic with Bronco script) or black billet bezel. But, it appears that options for bezels with 2" holes are few and far between. The only ones I've found have too much CNC...

    Heat and sound treatments for high end build

    Options and opinions are so plentiful, my head is spinning not sure which way to go. My tub is in paint right now, I plan to LineX the undercarriage, but am uncertain how best to treat the tub interior. My plan will be to finish everything off with a custom carpet at the end, however wheel...

    Engine bay: Liner or paint?

    I get a few conflicting opinions on this but… I need to make a decision here pretty dang soon. I see a lot of engine bays finished with a Linex or similar type of bedliner material, but some have mentioned that a liner on the firewall can present some tolerance issues with re-mounting fire-wall...

    Hill-start assist, hill-hold, hill-control on a manual tranny EB?

    I know just enough to ask questions that get me into trouble (as evidenced by how much I've spent during my 2+ year build), so... I'd love to know if anyone has advice and/or input as to the viability of adding some kind of hill-hold assist (or whatever the tech is currently called) to my build...

    Vendor discount codes for classicbroncos.com?

    I was on the phone today with Factor 55 putting together an order (spoke w/Justin. VERY helpful, by the way), and I asked about discounts. He mentioned that they have only 1 sale/year (black Friday), but that some of the enthusiast boards often have discount deals with some of the larger parts...

    Dash color... Parchment? Looking for paint code, etc.

    Bronco Tribe, I'm very close to detaching the body and sending out for paint. I discovered some time ago that the original dash color, despite my assumption, was NOT Wimbledon White, but was in fact a color referred to as "Parchment" or "Light Parchment" (it's still somewhat unclear to me). If...

    Wilwood 4-piston VS 6-piston in front.

    So... Took me a while to notice, but the front brake kit spec'd for me by Wilwood (which I bought months ago) is a 4-piston kit (WID-140-13305-DR). In speaking with Wilwood recently, they made the case that there really isn't going to be a measurable difference between 4 and 6 pistons. I'm not...

    Side marker delete... opinions?

    I see a lot of builds end up deleting the side marker lights (or were pre-1970 when they were introduced). I'm just curious what all the reasons people have for deleting the side markers. Obviously there is utility to having them so I assume that it is either strictly aesthetics driving the...

    Bed liner on firewall (engine side)??

    I’ve planned on having Line-ex applied to the entire engine compartment, but someone suggested that the added layer in firewall can spell trouble when it comes time to remount components (brake booster, steering column, etc). This surprised me. I’d like to know if anyone else thinks that...

    Is all chrome created equal?

    I’m needing to fit my Bronco with new side view mirrors, side reflector bezels, tailgate handle, etc. and am wondering if all the usual suspects (WH, TBP, Duffs, Jeff’s Bronco Graveyard, Bronco hut, United Pacific, etc) supply the same quality parts. Are they all made by the same manufacturer...

    Relocate stick shift (AX-15)?

    Is it possible to relocate the position of my AX-15 stick shifter? It comes up dead-center through the tunnel, and I'd like to get is closer to my right leg and place the Atlas twin sticks to the right of the shifter. My goal is a configuration identical to what Jonathan Ward sets up in his...

    Is it possible to change login/username?

    Before I bug the admin with this question, I thought I'd poll the hive mind. I regret not using my instagram handle as my user name, and would like to change my user name. Is this possible, or would I have to re-register under a new name? Thanks in advance for advice!!! Doug.

    Looking for experiences with Dennis Carpenter tubs

    I've got a complete tub assembly from Dennis Carpenter, but both my builder and a very experienced custom body guy feel that the amount of work that will be necessary to get the tub straight is unacceptable. I acknowledge that a bit of work will be necessary to fix any aftermarket tub ($2K...

    Looking for feedback on Krawlers Edge Coyote headers

    My mechanic (yeah, I'm not doing the work. Wish I had the time and the skill) has had issues with BCB headers in the past and is not recommending them. He has sourced ceramic coated headers for my Coyote swap through Krawlers Edge and I was curious if anyone here has had any experience with...
