Beautiful. Finishing up mine also. Putting the interior back together. It is always nice to have it out of the garage and on the road. Congrats and enjoy the fun of driving it.

cgbexec,
That thing turned out kick ass. I wish I had the time to do mine or another one that way. Nice job.

Thanks guys (and gals)!

I am just working out the little bugs and stuff. I have had surprisingly little trouble.

Some things I am working on.

1) Wipers don't park - need to drop the top and take a look at the wiring. I have the newer centech wiring harness that allows for parking, so I just wired something wrong.

2) I wired the heater blower motor wrong. I have high speed only. I know how to fix it, I just have to rewire it through the resistor.

3) My oil drain plug is leaking. I just need a new washer.

4) When she is cold, she won't stay running unless I give her a tiny bit of throttle. The choke is working. When she is warm, she runs perfectly. I just takes about 60 seconds of high idle for her to settle down. Any ideas?

5) I need to get a roll cage, but I don't want to spend $1,500.00! I wish I could get a powder coated full assembled cage shipped to me for $1,000.00. I know I am probably dreaming.

6) My front hubs are rusting. I need to pull the front wheels and paint them. I forgot to during the assembly.

Once I get all that worked out, I'll be in buisness.

Very nicely done. Kudos on a beatiful job!

Well the Bronco is running better and better. I now have 450 miles on her. I still have a few things to work out, but I love it. This summer perhaps I will take her offroad.

Thanks for all the help and kind words during the build. This site was what made the build even possible.

how has the rocker paint worked out for you?

My rig is at the paint shop and when i get it back I am planing on spraying the engine compartment and the bottom with it.

 

[cgbexec]

So far, so good. It seems to hold up well. I trust my body guy, so it should be fine. I wired the blinkers and the hazzards to the Dakota Digital gauge, so you have a visual reference as to when they are on. It is very hard to hear the flasher can.

Looks good. Remember, drive it and you will find all the gremlins. I've got just of 1300 on mine and still find little things that need to be tweaked and adjusted. Looking forward to taking a long drive to the mountains this month to really shake things out.

Your truck looks great.

Here are the latest pictures of the completed truck.

thats awesome, love it. those wheels are on my list of gotta haves. i also like the top. what brand is it? do the sides come off,roll up?offroading it i see,lol

 

[4lofun]

besttop and gunner 5s are on my list for this year, thanx, just read post again.

 

[cgbexec]

The top is by Best Top and it is really nice. The doors suck! The two piece design is nice, but that is about all I like about them. I really prefer doors that go on the outside of the inserts and not the inside. I had never had a set that goes on the inside and now I know not to do that again. The back and sides do roll up which is very nice.

 

[trlblazr]

Very nice! What color blue is that?

 

[cgbexec]

Very nice! What color blue is that?

Ford Sonic Blue. It was a mustang color from about 2001 to 2004. It has a ton of metalic in it and changes from blue to purple depending on the angle and the lighting.

 

[cgbexec]

2200 miles and counting. Roll cage next and a few little things here and there. I don't think that these Broncos are really every done.

Thanks,
