    Oil pressure fluctuation

    Hi, The oil pressure on my 73 is concerning me (302, C4 auto). I've discussed with Baja Broncos but wanted to get some more thoughts on the topic from you gurus. My one-way commute to work is approximately 40 miles. The first 4 miles are city traffic, followed by freeway driving. Work is...

    Gauge cluster/wiring issue

    Before my Bronco burned up, the Alt gauge would constantly "bounce" while driving. +30/-30/+30/-30...constantly moving and really fast. I now have a new Centech harness. With the exception of the engine block, heads, and steering box, everything in the engine bay has been replaced with new...

    Icon Sighting - Pics fixed in post #3

    An Icon pulled up at the Alameda dog park this morning. Not the Bronco version, but pretty sweet. The owner wasn't too talkative as he seemed to be rushing to his tennis match, but said it was really fun to drive.

    Question about brake performance

    Picked up the Bronco from the exhaust shop yesterday. First time driving it since getting a number of floor and body panels replaced at the body shop. When braking, once the pedal is 85-90% engaged, it seems like the last 10-15% doesn't do anything. I braked hard a few times, and the Bronco...

    I searched the forum a bit but am not finding the old thread I'm looking for. Forum members have recommended 1-3 people to contact for determining the best shocks for a rig. Someone at Bilstein USA? Someone at Shock Warehouse or eShocks.com? Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

    Has anyone "customized" steering wheel hub adapters?

    The PO installed a Grant steering wheel on the stock column, so it has a Grant hub adapter. I'm switching to a Nardi wheel, but Nardi doesn't produce a hub adapter for the Bronco column. To install the Nardi wheel, I will need to use the Grant hub adapter AND a Grant-to-Nardi adapter. This...

    Question about vent windows with chrome/stainless trim

    Does anyone make vent windows with the metal trim? EDIT: How difficult is it to separate the original chrome/stainless trim from the glass? The trim is in good condition. Only the glass needs replacing.

    Low profile air cleaner

    I used to run an Edelbrock 1208 air cleaner, which was 3.5" in height. Any recommendations for an air cleaner that is 2.5" to 3" in height? I know to stay clear of the foam element type cleaners.

    custom bracket for Corbeau rear bench seat

    The Corbeau rear bench practically sits on the floor, which I don't like at all. Has anyone fabricated a custom bracket to raise the seat off the floor so that it "sits" more like a stock bench seat? If the answer is yes, including a pic of the seat + bracket or your design would be very...

    The lock set we got is bad. When trying to remove the ignition cylinder, it spins 360 degrees but will not come out. Any suggestions on how to get the cylinder out without damaging my freshly powder-coated dash?

    Custom bracket for Corbeau bench seat

    I have a set of Corbeau Baja RS seats going in. The other day, I looked at a Bronco that had the same seats installed. The rear bench seat sits really low -- almost like the passengers will be sitting on the floor. Has anyone built a custom bracket so that the Corbeau bench seat sits more...

    Anyone using a Nardi steering wheel on stock EB column

    Still checking out all of the steering wheel options out there. So many to chose from. Let me know if you're sporting a Nardi wheel, and if so, a link to the hub adapter you're using would be helpful, too.
