    1 inch body lift complications

    Subbing to this. I have a 2.5" suspension lift on stock, 50 year old body mounts (no bl). I have a 351w (cut the hood and have a scoop) with a 5.0 serpentine setup and a NP435. I have a new WH 1" body lift in a box ready to go. Hoping to tackle it (by myself, oof) next week while I'm off for the...

    Defroster duct install. Remove dash or no?

    So for anyone searching this question, here is your answer: Short answer is yes you need to completely unbolt the dash and at least move it out a few inches to give you room. Is it possible to remove/install the hard plastic defrost duct without removing or loosening the dash? Yes. Only if...

    Defroster duct install. Remove dash or no?

    Well it didn't all go to plan but it never does... I never had a stock radio and years ago (sans defrost, I cut out the dash and put 3 gauges there. Those now hit the defrost tubes so I'll have to relocate them haha. And I should have my head examined for trying to use new defrost hoses with...

    Defroster duct install. Remove dash or no?

    In the end I removed the dash, well, not completely removed it but completely unbolted it and moved it out enough to where I could get the old piece out and the new one in and also leaving it open while I at least attach the the defroster vent hoses. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Defroster duct install. Remove dash or no?

    What I've found is there are 4 screws on the cabin side of the dash that secure the duct in place. These holes line up with the screw tabs on the replacement duct. Interesting thing is, all of those screws are missing on mine. If I push down on the passenger side it wants to come out...

    Defroster duct install. Remove dash or no?

    Thanks all. I'm referring to the actual hard plastic defrost duct. OG hoses have desintigrated. There are wires everywhere under there. However, as I said originally there are no heater knobs or cables anymore. All gone. Stock heater box is long gone and removed. I currently have an Accu...

    Defroster duct install. Remove dash or no?

    Sorry guys, all of the threads seem to be fairly old and there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. I have a new replacement defroster duct that I ordered from Tom's and I'd like to put that in. Question is do you have to remove the dash or loosen it to be able to put this in? Current...

    Door seal escapades....

    Thanks. I think I understand what you did for the bottoms now. Did you consider maybe using the peel and stick stuff that you used in the door frames for the bottom portion instead of trimming? Wondering if it would work. Maybe the thickness is too different. Also, 15 ft did both doors top...

    Door seal escapades....

    Subbing to this thread. Wow. Great work slowleak. I'm in this exact boat right now. Top is off and I need to replace seals. I, like chuckyb, take the top off every year and have cut the window frame seal up near the windshield. Windshield gasket stays and the rest goes with the top. Still a...

    Heater Motor Upgrade

    I mean isn't it that time of year again? Lol. Found this thread when doing research as I'm going through my heating setup. This thread makes me want to put a stock box back in haha. I ripped the stock box out YEARS (over 10 easy) ago and put in an Accu-Heater. Defrost ducting never really...

    Does anyone make actual lexan type windows for the EB hardtop?

    Just really surprised there isn't a market for this in the bronco parts houses. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Does anyone make actual lexan type windows for the EB hardtop?

    Sorry guys, notifications weren't on. Doesn't have to be lexan per se just proposing to replace my glass with something a helluva lot lighter than glass and preferably stronger that the EB glass. Sucks about the scratching. I'll check into speed glass. Someone mentioned plexi, is that...

    Does anyone make actual lexan type windows for the EB hardtop?

    I would love to ditch the side and liftgate glass for something like lexan. Tinted would be awesome. The glass is old, can shatter and HEAVY. Seems like somebody would have had to done something like this even if they had a made custom. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Any newer stereo setups?

    And did you all use universal harnesses to wire to the bronco or just direct wire?

    Any newer stereo setups?

    Timmy, what's your speaker/amp setup with that? I like the bar idea but as you said if you have to manually power it on, that wouldn't be ideal. I figure the head unit would be where to go cheap on and spend more money on the speakers, wires, subs, amps etc. The main reason I thought of the...

    Any newer stereo setups?

    Hey all. (DISCLAIMER: Yes I searched and most of the threads I found with setups pre-date Bluetooth technology, lol. Oof. I mean people talking about iPod Nanos and stuff. Lort) Had my bronco for 25 years and the last 20 or so have been without any kind of tunes whatsoever and it's getting...

    Yet another fuel gauge issue

    Paul, The shape of the original seal that came out with the old unit was round. The new smaller seal is thin but flat....thin about a rubber band sitting on it's ridge. Very flimsy. The thicker seal is flat. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk

    Yet another fuel gauge issue

    So I got the arm to read the way I want it. I installed it. I got a smaller seal that came with the new unit and I ordered the Factory one which is much thicker. Can't seem to get that thicker one in as it's already as high as the keyed notches in the tank neck. I've installed the old seal...

    Yet another fuel gauge issue

    Old one still in tank. I was just clarifying about the stop removal. I don't think that's the route I'm going. I'll see about taking it apart or bending the arm to get it to sweep just a little more towards full. Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk
