What have you done to your Bronco today?

[mofoco1]

Thank XCN. Is that flooring, what's its application? Can it be had at HomeDepot or LOWEs?

 

[xcntrk]

Oh yeah, Home depot, Lowes, ACE, should all have it. I think it's classified as paneling. Think lightweight particle or plywood. It's almost like a foamboard but with a weak wood filler...

I made an entire bumper out of Lauan, did all my fitment of every piece, glued it altogether to get a final look & feel, then took it all apart and used each piece as a template for cutting. Worked like a champ and cost me maybe $14 bucks...

Got my C4 cooler AN- fittings in the mail today. When I got home I took my trusty Maglight, lowered my carcass to the ground and installed them. Woo Hoo;D That is all.

Thanks Jason, brought home some SS wire for the Mig, a customer gave me to fill in the cups;D

Will do. I am now considering having the original holes on the arms and cast caps made bigger and retapped. Might be overkill but, I was thinking it would be prepped for the future HD CO perches that will eventually reside there instead of the cups. On the BB the larger bolt spread, no pun intended spreads the load more than the tighter EB pattern. The arms are going to be made longer and tubed and plated and I am still debating to go JJ or a BFHJ(heim joint). Since this will be primarily a street ride, I am leaning JJ. Out back 4link uppers triangulated, but not sure if you can run the JJ's horizontally.

Received my roll cage and door inserts and put them in the garage. We have a January Thaw this weekend, so hoping to get a lot done.

Nice.. Better take advantage of the "warmer" weather for sure...

Nice!! Hey curious. Do those rims still come with steel lug hole inserts?

 

[xcntrk]

^These are the Classic-III's. New model and successor to the Classic-II which have been around forever.

But no, it looks to be all aluminum from what I can tell.

Bummer. Its probably not a really important feature but it sold me when I was trying to decide between those and the Pro Comps. I do like the bigger holes though so Im probably going to still buy some street locks in black. Those look sweet though.

Then again, I really like the wheels youre running now too. You have a great looking Bronco.

 

[xcntrk]

The Alcoa's? Wanna buy them? I have 4 great boxes for shipping

 

[BroncoTonko]

Horse first, cart 2nd...

Prep'ing for trips. Cut fenders and installed flares. Wish they'd included screws that were longer than they were... way too short.
Why is that I always do the non-important stuff first?

Finally got a chance to work on the bronco, been sick for three weeks. Tonight, removed the heater core assembly and made some measurements for computer mounting.

Put locking nuts on the rocker arms, and got her dialed in where she purrs like a kitten. Also, finished my $2 LED upgrade to the dash bar lights. Amazing difference!!! Almost ready for the road!
