You make any progress? I looked at the brake light switch. Need to rotate it so it's horizontal towards the rear, if the makes any sense.

Also - you have saved me a ton of time and appreciate all of the help. I will turn the brake switch around.

Damn man, that cage looks so good! I'm jealous!

Looks awesome!! I cannot wait to see it CUT!!!

That thing looks wicked! Excited to see it in person. You've clearly done a ton of work.

Well when are we going to see that thing on the trail????????????????????

Chad that thing is awesome !

count me as officially jealous.

Ouch!

In Utah, they pulled over heavily modified vehicles (lifted and dropped) all the time because there was always some type of violation - too big of lift, no mud flaps, tires too wide, tint, etc. I am hoping the Po-Po's here in Colorado are lieniant with some of the things I have done, especially when it is not heavily modified just a couple of cosmetic changes. May need to run a Sticker from Tread's work to keep the Five-O away.

You could always make some stick on side markers with a solar cell inside. Pull em off when you want the clean look, stick em on when the fuzz is about.

Not sure if you could get pulled over for not having lights if they were not OEM. They're pretty lenient on tint, not so much on front license plates and having the wrong color turn signals apparently. State patrol is always the worst.

WOW that in Very Very Nice... Great seats and 3 Bears story.... been there ... Kids loved to ride in the back... Now they fight over Shotgun
Really great Clean Look. Nicely Done

Dude -

That rig is GORGEOUS!!!!!

Amazing, and I know that you think this is taking you a very long time, but for most folks, a frame off restomod like yours is a project that takes years - as in plural years. not 1.5 years but 4.5 or 9.5 years. My 51 ford took me 9 years to complete.

You have a lot to be proud of and I can not wait to see it in person.

Great work.

Thanks guys for the nice words but seeing it in person will likely show my inexperience. Luckily, my Bronco was pretty sound mechanically so I can see how builds can go into the 4.5 or 9.5 years. I would still be staring at a half done project if it wasn't for the encouragement and great advice from the CCB club members. Have a lot of things on my to-do and hopefully this project will never be done since I need a Hobby and something to obsess over.

I should have it at the Breakfast this weekend if things go well this week.

If you need any help just give me a shout. Id be happy to help out. Hope you get it out this weekend.


And don't let chad fool you. This thing is straight and clean!!!!

Chad I can help turn a wrench one evening this week if it means it'll make the breakfast!

You guys are the best to offer to help. What I meant is there will always be things to do to the Bronco next month and next year. I think I am doing good for making it to the Breakfast Saturday. I am doing Brakes tonight/tomorrow and Body Lift Friday night.

CrawlerCreations made a rear tire carrier to work with my existing bumper. Really a cool design - not sure how he comes up with this stuff. I am amazed at the awesome 'Creations' he turns out. Really happy about the price, quality, beautiful welds, turn around time, etc. Nice to get the tire off the floor and onto my Bronco. Notice the 5-star patterned lug nuts

Thanks Crawler!!

Installed the 1" WH Body lift - made a HUGE difference. Now I can install the air cleaner and shut the hood.

that looks really good!!

Glad to see you got it mounted up.

With no tailgate, no need to have a swing away. The bumper looks nice!

J.D.

Awesome job and the rig turned out sweet! cant wait to see it in real life one of these days

Thanks guys. I have been purposely leaving off pics of the tailgate delete because I was unsure of the reactions either way. For the way I am going to use it, I think it turned out good. I filled up the rear storage area with stuff so a tailgate would never have been used anyway and there is not much storage in these things! I cannot find a place to mount my 48" Hi-Lift Jack - Broncos have as much storage as a Mini or SmartCar.

I can't wait to see it in person, that is just awesooooooooome!
