I hope it's an optical illusion but that compressor belt doesn't look like it lines up with the other pulleys very well.

It does look funky there... but I did level it all out when I installed. also doesn't help that belts aren't fully tight.

Finished up the bumper. Gotta paint and put bearing back in. The bottom tube will be covered by the stock chrome bumper

Good deal, I just thought you may need to check before you got further along. ;)

Looks like things are really starting to come together, great job so far.

Still in wiring hell. Have the column harness and ignition switch left. Yay.

But, did get my rear hidden bumper tire carrier. Absolutely love it!

Yep, I like it too! When does production start? ;D

how much are these worth to you?

Thanks guys. I'm extremely happy with how it turned out. Now I just need to hold myself back and let the Raptor Liner cure before I throw up the tire up

I think it's worth quite a bit. I really like that you used square tube and not round. Hmm, thinking about it.

Tire carrier looks great. Seems like it's the new "rage" in Bronco customization. I'm going to modify my existing one to accept a stock bumper.

Is there a reason you didn't paint it body color? Would have blended in more.

I thought about doing it a base clear like the truxk, but that wouldnt be durable. It's the same color/paint used from my truck, but in the bedliner. Used the same stuff on the inside and under tub so it matches there. Further, the tire covers most of it

Makes sense, thanks.
