    1300 Mile Road Trip Planned - Prep Advice

    In September I'm panning to drive my '77 Bronco from N. Georgia to the Outer Banks in NC and spend a week at the beach and do some driving in the sand. My Bronco runs pretty good and I don't really have any known issues that should be a problem but I'm going over it now with a fine tooth come...

    Dakota Digital HDX Install

    Over the past two days I installed a Dakota Digital HDX instrument cluster into my 1977 Bronco. It wasn't too difficult but it did take some time and wasn't without some frustration. I also installed the optional GSS-2000 gear position sensor so the display will show what gear is selected on the...

    Replacing Intake Manifold Bolts

    I've been messing around under the hood to clean up some things I don't like the look of and I want to replace the bolts for the intake manifold with stainless ARP fasteners. I ordered a bolt kit and thought it would be easy enough to replace one bolt at a time. As soon as I touched the first...

    Biggest Regret on Your Build?

    For those of us that have built a Bronco and "finished" it what is your biggest regret? Mine has to be that i didn't do any sound or heat insulation on my tub when I had the body off the frame. It is like riding in a hair dryer in the summer once everything gets heat soaked. I plan to go back...

    Headlights Stop Working

    I've got a Painless harness in my Bronco and I'm using Hella H4 bulbs that are 60W/55W high/low beam. Sometimes when I drive at night the headlights will just stop working. I assume I and pulling too much current through the wiring since I don't have external relays on the headlight circuits. I...

    Ammeter Removal From Painless Harness

    A long time ago I upgraded my alternator to a 3G and never connected the ammeter to it because I didn't really know how. My Painless Wiring harness has a large yellow wire that runs from the alternator into the dash and loops through the ammeter gauge to read the current. That yellow wire has...

    A different take on a hardtop hoist

    After having this idea kicking around in my head for a while I finally executed it. I wanted to be able to pull the hardtop off of my Bronco with relative ease and also wanted to store it someplace out of the way and dry. The ceilings in my attached garage are pretty high and the garage is...

    Adding a trigger wheel to vbelt crank pulley

    I'm thinking about upgrading my ignition system to use a small ECU to allow for programmable timing curves and Ford EDIS coil packs. To do this I will need a trigger wheel for the crankshaft. I know there are crank trigger kits available for 302s but I'm not sure if they will work with the...

    Roll Cage Through the Bedrail?

    Has anyone ever built a rollcage that cuts through the bed rail and doesn't intrude into the interior space? It seems like you could pass a tube through that area and still tie it into the frame easily. Anyone seen that before?

    BedRug Bedliner

    Anyone else want one of these? I would love a kit like this but unfortunately they don't make them for Broncos. I talked to someone yesterday and they said then need to make at least 10000 of them to make a mold for a specific vehicle. That number seems high and I think they were just trying...

    GA Orange Seat Covers & Interior Parts

    I removed these parts from my '77 Sport. I have seen two '77s with this combination of black inserts on the front seat and the plaid insert on the rear so this may be factory for a '77. Included are the front seat covers, front seat hinge covers, front seat backs, and the rear seat cover...

    Power Steering Reservoir Location

    Does anyone else have a PSC\Wild Horses power steering Reservoir like this? If so where did you mount it? The instructions say that it needs to be mounted with the feed port higher than the inlet for the pump and in front of the pump but that doesn't leave many options. I had planned on...

    Oil leak on fresh 302 build

    I just got my Bronco running after a long rebuild and it appears I have an oil leak on the front of the engine. Oil is pooling in the area I circled below. Any ideas where it is coming from? The valve covers and intake seem clean along with the base of the distributor.

    Roll Bar Options Without Front Hoop

    I'm looking for a simple roll bar that doesn't extend into the footwell area. I just want some basic protection and something to hang a bikini top off of. I like the looks of one that extends to the tailgate instead of stopping at the wheel wells. Anyone have any pics of my options?

    '77 Parking Brake Pictures

    Does anyone have any good pictures or a drawing of the '77 parking brake setup? From what I can tell it is different then the other years and I can't make sense of it. I think I have all the parts but I may be missing a bracket that was on the body. Thanks for any help. IMG_4343 by willtel...
