Just opened up my bronco Driver. Looks as though our very own Crawln68's sweet bronco is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Congratulations! That is one of the best looking, most bad ass built broncos I have ever seen. Your attention to detail really makes a difference.

I agree. The more I read the article, the more I realized that his truck is exactly the direction one of mine is taking....just a lighter shade of blue.

Thanks you guys! You guys are too kind. I've done a few things sense I sent that in to BD magazine (about 6 months ago). I built my own tube doors. I added the angled bezels to my gauges. I installed the Gear Banger and built and installed my front Dana 60 axle. Here are some more recent pics. Thanks again for the complements!

Wow, that 60 in front really looks nice. More bullet proof beef. You got to love that. Yes, I too think your truck is very nice.

that is one sweet lookin rig. I like the color coordination of the diff cover and the coils. Why are the nuckles orange? I think they would match better blue. Anyway that thing is sweet.

Funny I just finished painting my knuckles black and then I saw that pic and thought, "geez I shoulda done a colour instead!"

I like the orange knuckles.

Thanks! The knuckles are aftermarket Dedenbear Knuckles. (and they come orange) So I just left them orange. They are A LOT beefier and stronger than the stock D60 knuckles. Each of the Dedenbear knuckles weigh an additional 5 lbs. over the stock Ford knuckles. That's how much more steel is in each knuckle. The Ford D60 knuckle is notorious for breaking when you run high steer arms on them, so these aftermarket knuckles are the answer. Here are a couple pics that show how much bigger they are over the stock knuckle.

Patrick, the tube doors look great! They seem to be about the right height so you can lean out and look. Of course the best mod was that exhaust ring right? %) Your bronco overall looks great! And blue and Orange is a good color combo, Go Denver!!;D

Bring it on out anytime! We'll do some work to it and then hit the Rubicon! :p How's everything been working on it so far? ANything that you want to change or modify? (that's a silly question for any EB owner, huh?)

The time involved must have been ungodly!
That's a huge challenge juggling family, work, sleep, and total Bronco restomod.

Great results!
