    Finally put my hard top on!

    So, after 2 1/2 years of ownership, I finally put it on (or I should say am still in the process of putting it on)...and it's been as much of a pain in the ass as I thought it would be...lol. Started by taking out my rear speakers, then the inside quarter panels, then the custom liner where the...

    are many of you running harnesses for the front and rear?

    I'm trying to plan out next steps for installing a family cage and possibly new front/rear seats. I currently run procars with shoulder belts (along with stock rear seat and lap belts). Deciding whether to have the family cage drilled for lap belts, or to have harnesses all around. My bronco...

    steering linkage fail

    driving the kids home from school yesterday in the bronco taking the turn to our street...and feel something funny on the steering. Pull into the driveway 30 yards down the street and feel a clunk. Looks as though I had a cotter pin fail. Thankfully was going about 10mph when it...

    what's it worth (ballpark)

    cruised the Bronco up to Tahoe a few days back --- took the dogs out for a walk, and come up on this guy working in his garage. And what does he have in there? A bone stock, great condition uncut half cab with a bench seat, 3 on the tree and straight six. I believe he said it was a '68, but...

    anyone have the Edelbrock E-Street package coupled with FiTech?

    I'm looking to get some more power out of my '74, but just a mild build. For the time being, I'm looking to just add FiTech and thinking to add the Edelbrock Performer intake manifold --- but I also want to think through the overall build as eventually I will want to build out the top end. I...

    Any issues with using Fitech on a CA Bronco?

    Went to buy the system from Summit Racing for my '74 Bronco which is smog exempt in CA, and got this message on their site: what the what? 1965 or older only? Seeing as I don't have to get the truck smogged ever again, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, but found this to be odd...

    Are folks happy with the Fitech fuel management system?

    I talked to a guy at Fitech, he pointed me to aeromotive as the most efficient fuel management system as a less expensive way to implement the system. Said you could run into issues off-road with their fuel management system if the truck gets off-balance at all. They are developing in-tank...

    anybody have a family 1/2 cage?

    I like the idea of a family cage and rear lap belts. Seems most everyone goes to a full cage, but I like the idea of keeping the front of the cab stock-ish...and not blocking the glove box, fuel switch, or speedo. Has anyone chosen a 1/2 family cage like this one? Would be interested to...

    The latest on nerf bar options?

    I think most (not all) agree that the standard 3" nerf bars don't look quite right on an early Bronco. I love the option of the side power steps, but the cost is high and I believe you need to lose the auxiliary tank, which I'm not willing to do (please correct me if this is wrong). Doing a...

    on the fence for a 5-speed conversion

    My '74 is primarily a weekend cruiser that has seen very little off-road time. For around town, my 3 on the tree has been fine for the most part, though a bit under-powered for my liking. I do have a place in Tahoe, and have driven it up there (coming from the bay area) with my stock tranny, 33...

    Ranger glove box emblem?

    I'm in the process of upgrading my dash. Have all the bezels and necessary parts now (or at least on the way), but can't find a vendor that sells the chrome Ranger emblem that screws into the glove box door. Anyone know where I can find this piece? Much appreciated.

    changing bezels on the dash

    I'm looking to change the bezels and knobs on my dash. I've got the bezel tool, anything else I need to be aware of? The replacement knobs have an allen screw, but I'm not finding it on the ones in the truck? Also, I assume I need to remove the ignition switch to get the bezel off? Any other...

    Rampage soft top question...

    My Bronco had a rampage style bikini top before I bought it so I already have the front riser installed. I put on the WH "sunroof" style bikini top, which I love (along with the wiper motor cover)...but thinking about getting the full soft top. From the instructions, looks as though I would...

    Is this a good price for an nv3550?

    $1,050 for a new one + $125 shipping if I have it delivered to my work. I'd prefer to save $ even if it means buying a rebuilt one, but this seems to be the best price I'm seeing without a core charge...

    cheapest way to get an nv3550?

    Been doing many smaller projects on the bronco, holding off on the NV3550 swap (from 3 speed manual) due to the cost. Started thinking that maybe I can piecemeal it a bit, in terms of buying things a bit at a time to spread out the cost. I like to support our vendors, but I also have to take...

    5.0 coyote swap questions

    Couple of questions...someone mentioned (in a thread I can't seem to find) that ICON was offering a Coyote + 6 speed swap for $12k. Two questions... - can anyone confirm this and any details? If I remember correctly, it sounded as though it was pricing installed. - Broncos seem to be one of...

    rattle can question

    I know this isn't Bronco specific, but you guys all seem to know your stuff (and I'm definitely a newbie just finding his way), so here goes... Saw the diamond plate interior quarters on Blue Bastard's truck, and I really like the look. Bought a pair for mine, cut out speaker holes, primed and...

    Has anyone used this rear floormat?
