Adding rattlers to my Bronco

[ared77]

Sounds about right.

I'm going to try again today. Yesterday I had one kid in a school lockdown and one sick kid to deal with. Bronco got put on the backburner. This morning however I did find some new screws that will work BUT it looks like the left visor was mounted on the right bracket and visa versa. Shouldn't be a big deal since the metal brackets are the same except mine were bent to fit around the roll cage. Sooo now neither on will go one unless I reverse them.

I'm going to do some work on the brackets today and try again to get these little guys up. Rule of thumb for Early Broncos....a quick easy mod just doesn't exist.

Also, Murphy's Law has not been repealed.

And here she is! I had to jb weld an extender on the arm to make it fit behind the roll cage, but that's better than having to drill a new hole in the body. My kids names the rattlers Clementine and Beefstick. I think it's an awesome addition to my Rattler-rod interior.

Looks Great! And 100% you, perfect fit in your bronco

A winner for sure!

Those look great, especially with your seats and really bring out the artwork on the door panels!

I'll have to add that to my vocabulary, Hot Rod, Rat Rod and now Rattler Rod!

I bet some of y'all thought rattlers were a Bronco part or accessory you didn't know about. Well don't go looking for rattlers at Toms Bronco Parts because I actually do mean rattlers, as in rattlesnakes. I already have a specimen in the car hanging on the gun rack (it rattles when I go over bumps) but when my sun visors needed a refresh I thought --- yea, I need more rattlesnake skins. So I have these two pretty nice diamond-back skins and took them over to this insane auto upholstery guy who works out of a shop my parents would warn me away from. He just called and said they were ready! I had him top mount the skins to a parchment colored vinyl, similar to the original color of the sun visors. He was trying to get me to order some snakeskin imbossed vinyl but that just seems cheesy. I want to see the edges and scales. And I'm pretty sure some of y'all think this is the most ridiculous mod but it fits in my Bronco.

Sure I NEED to replace a transmission hose and repair the leak in the radiator but come on. I HAVE to have the snakeskin mounted for the Bronco to run, it's a necessity.

(photos to come)

you got a nice ride there young lady I like the add of the snake

From the article -

"include a Rattler badge, snakeskin Rattler graphic on the side of the bed, dual exhaust tips that promised to let out “a bold sound”, and painted 18-inch aluminum wheels."

*not a snakeskin element in sight*

FYI I knew they were tracking me.

 

[Yeller]

They are watching I just know it

Your idea is so unique and awesome they had to insult you trying to copy it, which I believe they did a poor job of. They put a spiffy name on the existing FX4 package.

Well I'm not saying the new Bronco's "editions" are inspired by my personal activities....but Bigfoot???....Big Bend???? Come on!

If Ford comes out with an alien/ufo inspired vehicle I'm having my house swept for bugs.

Nice truck. I bet that first pic makes Tasker a bit wheezy.
