HEY LOOK AT ME! - Put the tub back on
Yep - a HEY LOOK AT ME POST... put it on my Facebook, too... just glad to get SOMETHING done with my Bronco.
Gotta rebuild the front clip before paint... so put the tub on the chassis today... Frame is mostly repaired, painted... I did some POR-15 and some Chassis Saver, and since neither like sunlight I just top coated it with Rustoleum semi-gloss. Building a trail truck that my wife doesn't think is ugly, not a beauty queen - so that should be fine... plus, the Rustoleum rattle can is easy to fix if it get scratched. Will be interesting to see which does better, POR-15 or Chassis Saver.
I guess I suck at measuring because I was certain I wouldn't have to cut the body brace under the tunnel for the NP435 to fit with a 1" body lift - but, testing the fit it appears I am going to have to do so.
Also - sucker me - I bought someone elses bumper and cleaned it up - but, they clearly had more than 1" BL or they had their tail-light buckets cut into the tailgate hinge. Oh well - at least it is at the re-assembly point. I only get a couple hours each month to work on it, so it is super super slow going.
