Thanks Man!!


A bit more progress, new tires and wheels, started the interior and just dropped it off to have the windshield installed.
I drove it to the Windshield Shop which is really close to my house, felt so awesome to drive it again!! One thing I noticed is how rough it rides without the weight in the back. I’m gonna have figure this out because I’m deleting the Spare and heavy speaker box which added good weight back there.
I also got the Flares and hood scoop installed. I opted for no Welting...I really like it. I also went with 2” of spacing which took a lot more screws but I really like the look and I think it’s more functional.
Anyway here’s some pics!

Looks Great Mike, can't wait to see it in person.

Tanks fixed! It was an easy fix thanks to some JB Weld. It was actually a good opportunity to level and square up the tank as it was crooked.

The windshield is in...as much as I’d love to take credit for this...I completely copied this from CW...otherwise known as my “Bronco Life Coach” lol.

Glass, new tracks, new felts, new seals, Vent Windows and door panels are all in. I took it for a ride and everything feels great! Amazing how rattle free and tight it is.

Front seats and back seats are in and mounted.

Can’t wait to get the cage and bumpers. That will really tie things together!

On a bad note...my paint has developed a couple bubbles where the rear seam was welded. Sucks because I’ll be pulling almost everything back off to get it fixed.

Thanks!

The cage is the same one just having it Sand blasted and powder coated. The bumpers were custom made by Migs...a member here. They came out great! Very well built

Thanks Randy!

So the most important update...Stereo is back in!!! I was going to streamline the system but this sounds sooo good and the weight definitely helped the ride!

Been driving the heck outta this thing! The BFG ATs are really a big upgrade. I loved how my Toyo MT’s looked and rode but these are a lot smoother. Btw, the girls approve of the color!

So I need opinions...I got the Duff Tuff door frames but I’m not sure I love the look....what do you think....with or without?
