Thanks!

This was my last set of wires (door triggers)for the whole bronco build (outside the dash) Feels good!

I lied. I forgot about the remote start hood protection circuit. It's to stop someone from accidentally hitting your remote start while you are working on it or it's apart. I cut off a stainless body bolt so that the washer would match, also used a stock hole.

All front and rear Leds work off the intended switches. Brights, normal, led forward and reverse. Stoked

I filled in my stock Lic plate holder and I'm using a spare tire Lic plate and led holder. This is what I did for the wiring of the Lic plate led. It's on a plug for when you need to get the tire off.

Don't mind the super messy garage. I'm pushing for wed to get the bronco back to paint for my respray of white.

Looking good! Did you fabricate the license plate backing plate? What shade of white did you decide on?

I bought the plate/ light combo off ebay.

The white is based off a Maserati white that icon uses which is a warm white with a hint of yellow, but I am changing it so the yellow is more like Wimbledon white, then the gold yellow it comes with. So a custom color. It's very close to a toyota white that was used in the 90s but with more yellow. It will be a PPG mix so it will be easily matched.

I am running 1/4" spacers on the rear I think this clears the 285s just about perfectly and gives me a little more room for my shocks to clear the springs. So this is 3/4 narrower then a stock axle

duffymahoney · Apr 22, 2017

Last two grommets are in. I hate grommets and I hate jamming so many wires through one hole. Who's decision was that anyways?

also got my axles breather installed

Well today was hard. First I had lots of gas leaks in my bcbroncos hard line setup. I ended up ditching all of it and ran efi flex fuel lines with an fittings, simple and effective. . Then my stock 77 gas tank is cracked. I was hoping to start it today

That is unfortunate. I am about to install their same efi fuel line kit. Hopefully I have better luck.

The biggest issue was the couplers and fitting changes, they are in impossible spots to get to once the body is on. I would skip it.

A little more knob bling. This time tapped for my e-brake and hood release and laser etched.

Where are you locating your hood release knob?

Just to the right of the e-brake below the dash.

Started mocking up the fuel lines tonight. I can already see how these could cause issues.

duffymahoney · Apr 27, 2017

Off to paint. Literally nothing I can work on, well it's time to clean the garage.

Those are nice! I apologize if I missed it earlier in the thread, but where are you sourcing those?
