Picked up a Toms sport 14.5” factory replacement steering wheel. It fits on the column I got! I’m sure the horn and everything will function as well.

Finally found a gas pedal assembly. I think I am just missing the bolts for the firewall and the accordion looking rubber boot?

WildHorses sells that “boot” for pretty cheap. Shipping costs almost as much as the part, unfortunately.

Those accelerator bolts should be the same as the 5/16 bolts found all over the bronco. Add a couple "fender bolts" to your next WH Order.

I love the 3.0 ratio with most automatics, I hope you like it with the ZF

Should end up at 92:1, gonna give it a shot and if I feel like I need more I’ll get the 4.3 gears for it.

I’d be very happy at 92:1, just about perfect. Low enough to be controlled in the technical stuff but high enough to run trails up to 25mph comfortably.

Over the 4th of July, my fiancée and I added a 10 hour detour to our road trip to head up to Medford, OR, where a guy on Marketplace had listed this tailgate. He didn’t have the best reviews, so I posted a thread here on the CB forum asking if someone local could help pick it up before I could get there. @Trigger really came through! He did me a huge favor by meeting the seller and grabbing it for me so I didn’t lose out on it. Thanks again, Mike! Can’t wait to see you at Tom’s event!

If anyone has some sequoia brown doors let me know! I have a non matching set I was going to paint but it would be nice to find some originals.

Thanks @Broncitis for the nice graphics!

That looks awesome! It was great getting to meet you and your fiancée and talk Broncos! I cannot wait to see your bronco in person next year.

Figured I should do something instead of just look at it, even if it’s just small things.

Installed the following today:

Toms hood struts
Agaso firewall cover plate
Dennis carpenter antenna
OBS coolant/washer fluid bottle

How did the Agaso firewall insulation work out?

I’ve been looking at that option, using a stock kit, or just putting down some dynamat variant which I can cut to fit without having to take everything off the firewall.

I haven’t installed it yet. It did take about 2 or 3 months maybe to get it from them.

Where did you get the bracket to mount the washer bottle? I've been having trouble finding one.
