Would like to see a slick tilt front clip set up where the entire front end tilts off to expose the engine. Fiberglass and removable but sturdy enough for off road. Think I saw something like it in the old photo gallery but if I remember right the guy ruined it by running a Chevy drivetrain.

Do you have any pics of your rig and some details, your truck is very sweet. Nice detail work. Are those 1) Bazookas in the back, 2) a tuffy box (how do you like it), and 3) vinyl covered storage boxes on the rear fenders? Very cool. What seats are those as well? The poly softy is very sweet as well. What kind of roll bar covering is that? Sorry for all the questions...been meaning to ask you. Keep up the great ideas.

If anyone has pics of the raised bed with the drawer in the back, please also send me a copy of the pics by PM...THANKS. Thats ben on my mind for a few years. Keep the great ideas coming.

"interesting ideas/mods"

The "tilt front end" in the pic was of the Sonny Hon. bronco recently sold on ebay. Look at the location of the distributor and headers-that spoils it for a purist, but anyway cool shot. To my subject line. I had a front tube support deal bent for my trail rig. The lower/rear portion which comes down under the floor attaches to the rock skis which are off the frame. The front of the tube support is attached to a cross member close to the end of the frame rails-also supports my radiator. On top I have tabs for the fenders to bolt onto. There is a brace deal about half way up on the front which adds to the support of the grille. Unbolt a few things and my entire front section comes off in one piece. Obviously the door inserts have to come out also.
FWIW,

How about a rechargable maglight with a sturdy mount on the rollcage. Wire it and you have a tough, dependable source of interior and exterior light. I was gonna mount mine vertically, level with the windshield on the rollcage. Ive got the tach mounted on the cage, so hiding wires should be no problem.

4x4x289- Really cool! Yeah, would love more details on your Bronco. Some really cool Broncos are popping up lately! Bronco Driver needs to hire me to fly around and do cover stories! Will work for Bronco parts. ;D
