Captain Crunch 2.0

Can’t beat the color of that bronco and the daylighter’s. Bumper looks better than a cactus smasher.

Took it for a spin before this afternoon, first time with the wife and kids in the Bronco since I put the long arms on... you definitely notice the body roll around corners with some weight in the cabin

Took the Bronco for a cruise with my boys and my Dad yesterday, and today my KC harness came in so I started wiring them in. Can't have KC Daylighters without the stainless loom lol

Nice! Digging the color of your EB. Nothing like seeing a bold color.

Thanks Randy

Finished wiring them in, man are these bright. I need to adjust the mounting tabs to get the beams where I want them. They were aimed about 15ft in front of the Bronco lol. Also noticed it's harmonic balancer time, it looks like it's about to separate and the engine was vibrating a good bit.

Isn't the bolt hole in the bottom of the light slotted to allow for up/down adjustments?
Back the nut off a bit and see if you can rotate the light up a bit.

It's maxed out all the way back, thats why I need to do some bending

Copy. I was hoping you hadn't missed something obvious.

Always loved the pre-runner front bumpers on these!

Small project today, got some turn signal indicators and mounted them to the steering column cover. They're threaded on the back side, just need to open the screw holes up a bit so I can mount them.

as for the front shock hoop.... I currently have a Sexton hoop w/Blistiens, and Dull long arms with both shocks mounted rear of tire. like you have found the ride and handling is much improved. Its going on 12-14 years so like you I'm thinking of changing to new springs and shocks. Talked with the guys at Duff and Lick Creek this weekend at SuperCel about their new 20/20 shocks. And nothing but good stuff from everyone. PLUS they recommend getting away from the duals unless you just "want" the extra cost.... just something to think about before adding hoops... if you need longer travel then the single extended mount would be cheaper.

Now that I have a few more miles on the setup I don't feel like I need the hoops. The only time the body roll is overly noticable is when i have all 4 seats full. I halfway want to add them for looks, but probably wont do it. Appreciate the insight

Pulled the hard top this afternoon, I used Tie Boss pullies. Much better than ratchet straps, if I let go by mistake, they lock the rope in place.

Nothing real exciting today, just replaced the brake booster pivot (the old duffs one had a bunch of play in it), cleaned the garage and let the bikini top get some sun to get the wrinkles our from being wrapped up for 2 years.

More progress today, swapped out the brake booster and master cylinder (need a flare adapter to finish the job), installed some turnbuckles to reinforce the top of the windshield and started replacing my harmonic balancer.
