Re: 72 restore/mild build
My vote is below the bedrail inside the cab. Only time I see bedliner go over the rail is work trucks. Broncos are play toys not work trucks

Re: 72 restore/mild build
Chad has a point. IIRC you're building something to look nice, but also for tooling around in the mountains right? You might get lucky pulling the top once or twice without a scratch, but you will eventually scratch it. Not a bronco, but here's a pic: http://www.americanbedliners.com/SPRAY_ ... k_beds.aspWish this guy had a better pic. Look like he did it. http://www.socalbronco.com/buildup.htmlMaybe search cb.com too...

Re: 72 restore/mild build
Found this one on CB. Not sure if I like how far down the liner goes. What do you think about where I drew the black line? Where Jesus suggested?

Re: 72 restore/mild build
Looks Great! Can't wait to see it in person...I know I asked this before but was there a build-off I didn't know about? LOL!

Re: 72 restore/mild build

Re: 72 restore/mild build
That is an impressive list of items crossed off the list in just a few days. At this pace, you will catch me in no time. Color turned out great. This is going to be such a fun summer!

Re: 72 restore/mild build
You may want to consider installing another bar farther up on the cage. See this thread: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1189&p=15344&hilit=harness#p15344

Re: 72 restore/mild build
Go to your local welding supply shop and get a nice welding blanket and you should be fine. I bought mine at airgas and it's very plyable, just like a blanket on your couch.

Re: 72 restore/mild build
Got my rear flares put on last night. The black flares really change the way it looks! Also got the most important part of the Bronco installed....Fender Emblems!
Couldn't find the camera this morning so I'll post a pic up later.

Re: 72 restore/mild build
How are things going? Excited to see pics of the rear flares, emblems, and the other progress. Cannot wait to see the blue paint in the sun!

Re: 72 restore/mild build
Been kindof busy at work and a little burnt out with the bronco so I haven't done much lately. Was saving some $$$ for a wiring harness and gas tank. I picked up a Centech Harness from Bronco Hut today and the gas tank is on order with BCBs. Appearently the NWMP tanks are on back order - got an email from Chuck today that said I won't get it for about 3 months. So...see you guys on the trail next summer Seriously though, I'm hoping they are over estimating.
