Another newbie to CCB
I just joined on Friday and wanted to post some pics of my truck and introduce myself. I am a Colorado native and Purchased my first Bronco back in February. I love to tinker with my car, motorcycles and my truck. I don't know when I will get to my first meet and greet but I will, eventually. I look forward to meeting everyone and seeing your trucks first-hand.
Thanks,
PonyCorral

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Welcome! Looks like an awesome Bronco project you've got going. What are your plans? Where are you located?

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Thank you all! My plans are to repair alot of the truck. For starters I have replaced the tail gate, DS inner fender and rear floor and fuel filler cover, I will also replace the fender, inner rocker and rocker as well as the kick panel and door post. For the PS I will replace the fender, inner fender, inner rocker and rocker. Once I get past that I have a Proto Fab family cage to install as well as front and rear Proto Fab Bumpers. I want my kids to be safe, mainly because I am not sure how far off-road this truck will get. If the body was better I would go right to making it look pretty! I am real close to Entourage in Commerce city, Reunion to be exact.
I have a few usable parts from the truck if anyone is interested. Let me know. Thanks again, Bobby Quaratino aka PonyCorral

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Sorry, I forgot to mention it is not a Denver Bronco, that would be pretty nice. My truck is a ranger and I am kinda partial to their color schemes.
Thanks!

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Sounds like it will be an awesome Bronco when it is done. The ProtoFab stuff is awesome. Cortez and I are close if you ever need a hand. I would love to come by sometime and check out the build and a few s.

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Can you check out the foot-pad that's directly behind the passenger seat? On mine, ProtoFab drilled the holes that mount to the fender well directly behind the tube. I had to drill 2 new holes in the correct location. The driver's side is correct.

Re: Another newbie to CCB
I wonder if they have right and left and they used the wrong side? I will check when I get home and get back to you. I hope that mine are on drilled in the correct spot.
Thanks

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Airbur,
On my Protofab cage the pre-drilled holes are to the inside of the cage in front of the rear wheel wells. If you want I will post a pic? Let me know.

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Thanks guys. I've confirmed with ProtoFab that they did it incorrectly. Their excuse is that they built 10 cages in 2 days. Still pisses me off....these aren't cheap!

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Thanks! I am still working on the DS door post, but I have a good idea of what needs to be done in order to get it square. As soon as I get it on I can move on to the PS to start the process over.

Re: Another newbie to CCB

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Nice work man! I hear those door posts can be a bitch to get lined up right. Looking good!

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Thanks, I might rest a while before tackling the PS...Those measurements from dsmith01 made me a lot more confident in final placement, tack, re-tack, re-tack, re-tack about 30 times and you begin to wonder.

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Glad you got it lined up. Looks perfect. Are you going to keep the rocker original or cut it?

Length was fine. I meant cut the bottom to put rock skis on.

Re: Another newbie to CCB
Yep I know! The rocker is actually too long. I have to trim a little out of the top.
