getfuzzy, you are a bad hombre and that is a bad arse ride....I definitely have got to convert my 74 Explorer to a half-cab with the flip-up back window. Hope you don't mind if I shamelessly copy some of your other mods as well. Everytime I look at your pics I see something else I'd like to incorporate into mine. I absolutely love the Bronco graphics on the door panels. Please, please post more pics (talk about your eye candy, that's better than porn)....Well done brother!! :cool:

No shame in copying I do it all the time. I just do a twist and make it mine. There is a lot of brothers on here with great ideas. I'm going to past more pic's and see if you guys can see the twists. I'm a little in the veg mode today and am going to work on the trailer drawings.

Love that Front Bumber that you have on there! Is that a design that you came up with or something that you bought? Really like the looks of the design. You possibly have a side profile shot of the bumper?

Here's somemore. When I run low on money I tend to use what I can get or make. Some things to look for and no ones said anything about them. The front turn lights are sealed LED off the NAPA shelf. The wiper linkage is aluimumn tube and rodends. The switchs have LEDs built into the ends and light up when on. The engine compartment, surp belt set up form 1/4" plate. cold air box and scoop. group 31 battery [ man the mofo weight is 75 lb] on the fire wall, front axle vent and trans over flow and vent[and yes 2 compartments] I like making stuff. Thanks again Guys;D

Fuzzy,

I have to say that you have got some mad skillz! Really like what you did with the Air Intake box idea. Air on the outside is ALWAYS cooler than whatever the engine is gonna pull in from under the hood I would think.

Sill though, really impressed with what you came up with for the front Bumper. Always liked the tube styles but this one I like the most from what I have seen.

Any pics of what you did with the rear bumper/carrier?

Nice work though with all you have done to make this one trick little Half Cab!

Hey Fuzzy. Thanks for the additional pics but I think we need more!! ;D This rig just has so many awesome little details. That must have been a lot of work dude. Can you get more of the enginebay? Can we get more pics of the airbox? The breathers look funky also. Inquiring minds and all ;D

Yes I'm very proud of it. I try to over build but not over think things. I guess thats why I do things more than once. I know that some things are not perfect, but I can aways redo them. Some things I want to do are the trailer and new bumpers.[ plate and tube combo]But for now I just want to drive it get the motor broke in and have some fun. Oh and A/C of the Wife. And overdrive trans and ? I love making new stuff.

Fuzz,

Thanks for the pics of the rear bumper! Nice design that you came up with there as well. Just like what you have done with your truck bumper to bumper. Great job and only hope when I get close to the finish line if that exists, ;) that people are just as impressed.

Any other cool mods you been hiding from us? LOL!!! :cool:

I'll let you know about the trans cooler at the end of the week. I'll be driving it to work all next week to check things out.

As you should! ;D I bet your the wifey likes to sneak off with that toy of yours? LOL! I would be scared to park it anywhere in fear of it being stolen by some LOWLIFE, but im sure that you have some security steps taken in there somewhere. ;)

I knew I've seen that Bronco somewhere!!! Wasn't that your front end I saw in the last Bronco Driver? I remember seeing that front bumper and thinking how cool it looked!

Fuzz,

Never noticed the backlit knobs that you have there! Very Cool! Do you mind sharing who makes them? I would love to incorporate those if they are acailable for the headlights and wipers if possible on my truck! ;D I will look around on the web to see what I can find in the meantime.

And your airbox is a nice touch as well. :cool:
