Thanks for the info. I am looking at the complete body kit from JBG. I know I won't use all of it but I am pretty sure I will use 80% of it. Has anybody used this kit before? If so how is the fit and quality of the panels.
Thanks,
Daniel
Hmmm, this is a tricky thing to answer.. gotta choose my words right..
They fit pretty good, considering they are built in Korea by people who never saw a Bronco, and did not have access to the original parts or dies. Many vendors sell the same identical piece, from the same oriental country.
If you buy the entire package, I'd say that 40% will be medium quality (looks like the original but needs some bending and fitting). Another 40% will be high quality (needs nothing but welded in) and the final 20% will leave you asking yourself "WTF is this thing supposed to be, and how can I possibly use it?"
I just finished replacing about 80% of the sheet metal in my tub, and i'm gonna warn you to think about this long and hard before you whip out the visa card and pull the trigger. I won't say I "regret" rebuilding my tub, but I regret not using a bit more patience and looking around for a better tub that needed much less of my attention.
Why?
Because you can buy a nice usable tub for less than you can build one. Someone out there has one, you just haven't found it yet. Plus, the original tub doesn't need hours of fitting, shimming, and head scratching to get the fenders and doors to line up.
This makes me wonder how many people out there have built a second or third entire tub, after getting their spankings on the first one??
Anyhow, my .02
