Mounting the soft top hardware and worked together a piece of angle to hold the vertical window frames. I decided to tread the rod ends at the windshield and the pillars and I think it's going to make for a better fit and less rattle, we will see.

Yes indeed UK, no need to drill that hole in your pillar. Good job!

installed an automatic power antenna which raises when the stereo is turned on. Gonna try to figure out how to only activates when the radio is on. This way I can have the antenna down while wheelin but still listen to CD or iPod.

also installed a new fuel filter, still got an occassional stumble though

Drive to work as it's daily driving duty.... Was very glad I threw in my rain coat.... Rain couples with lots of road puddles, full width, and fresh 37/14.5 toyos throw a TON Of water;)
Safari top helps, tires throw a wall of water on outside arm however....

A toggle switch to interrupt power to the antenna.Just have to switch it before you power the radio.

Most radios today have a power antenae wire on the back harness. I bet if you put and on/off switch between the wire and where it connects to antenae you could probably put the antenae up and down as you please. ;D

Uhh, as for the Bronco nothin! %)

Finally started putting my son's '76 all back together again. Went from freshly sandblasted frame to this in only 4 days...

Re configured my dash. Moved glovebox over to account of roll cage and cut holes for air conditioning vents.

I considered it but decided to get a newer radio that would do it the way I wanted plus i wanted blue tooth for playing music from iPhone and hands free phone.

Works like a champ now.

I didn't do anything other than enjoy driving my 76 today. Today was a perfect fall day in North GA. So my wife and I spent the day just riding around looking good, well my wife and the Bronco any way...
