Make it safe first like adding a rollcage, 3 point seat belts & make sure your brakes are in top shape.

 

[Broncmeister]

You didn't mention your brake setup. If you do not have disks, I'd recommend that as your first mod.

 

[75_Bronco]

thanks man, <br>one step ahead of you. Actually i already have a 6 point and im in the prcess of getting shoulder belts, just had a brake job done on all four wheels..<br>what next ???<br>Paul<><

 

[75_Bronco]

yea disks would be a good idea on the front... im runnin four wheel drums...<br>Paul<><

On the brakes, if they are not disc, start thinking about it. But sounds like you have most safety issues taken care of. how about a lift? There is on for sale in the for sale section for cheap. Seems like a good deal.<br><br>Does you glove box door open? there is a cool little mod to that in the over 500 links sections.<br><br>How about bumpers? I dont like the sstock ones myself and went with protofabs, they are real cool.<br><br>are you gonna take it offraoding? Look at bcbroncos rock skis?<br><br>How about the instrument cluster. there was a cool thread a few days ago about some overlays. Cost 20 bucks and really makes the cluster look much cooler.<br><br>How is the paint?<br><br>Do you have powersteering? It is nice to have if you don't.<br><br>Lining the tub with somehting like linex.<br><br>How about an interior light. Wish I had one, cant see shit at night inside the bronco.<br><br>Hood pins? They look cool.<br><br>A locker if you are going offroad. Selectable if you have the cash.<br><br>Hows the wiring? Big project i hear and maybe not great to do without a backup ride.<br><br>Shift kit in the tranny?<br><br>Fuel injection or Chucks qjet? I know you said it is a nerw carb but hey would be cool and you can always ebay that carb.<br><br>How does it cool? New Radiator?<br><br>Cooler steering wheel?<br><br>Flame throwers? those are wicked cool but illegal most places <br><br>ok I have gone on and on enough for a while.

 

[broncobsession]

PS, PB, BC's 3.5" lift, etc. etc. etc.

dana 60s, 5.13s, spools, and 38s. haha, jk, well if you have the money then im serious. Anyways, first i would decide exactly what it is you plan to do with it, that will influence nearly every mod you make. But i would think a good lift and tires would be high on the list.

 

[Hnrys69]

Nos, 44s, Volvo Portals.

thanx for all the help guys!!!<br>i think i am going to start looking for a decent front disk conversion... and hopefully power steering. for a ps conversion what do i need besides the pump ( i checked out the saginaw mounting bracket proj link)???<br>Paul<><

Complete setups are on Ebay all the time for around $4-500. I am sure there are cheaper ways, but this way you get everything that originally came on the EB.<br><br>I will add my vote to disc brakes. I drove my bronco around for 5 years on the 4 wheel drums, converted to disc a few weeks ago and kick myself for not making it the first mod. Definitely worth the money. Drums suck!

 

[astark]

I would definitly go with the flame throwers first <br><br>http://www.flamethrowers.com/mainf.htm

 

[flint_knapper]

folks would definitely remember you! I would go ahead and go with 4whl. power disc brakes

 

[75_Bronco]

man you guys rock!!!<br>well should i go with a ford or shevy brake setup? what are the pros and cons???<br>Paul<><

 

[ballistic64]

Man,would the Forest Service love me with that setup!

 

[ballistic64]

The flame thrower that is.

 

[astark]

Well, I changed my mind 75_Bronco. I would go with the http://classicbroncos.com/disc-f150.shtml<br><br>Might work well with the tail gaters too ballistic64.<br><br>I guess you could look at both these mods as safety features in that light.

 

[76Broncofromhell]

Roll Bar, 4-wheel disc brakes, Detroit locker, Wristed Radius Arm, Overdrive, Headers, Flowmasters.

 

[75_Bronco]

sweet, f150 setup looks good... do you think i could make the swap myself i have little mechanical knowlege, i have changed oil and adjusted my carb, but thats it. would this swap by too tough for a newb like myself???<br>Paul<><<br>

Don't forget to Por15 your undercarriage. Or take care of any rust problems.
