[tcm glx]

Right on!! A pillar tube looks nice and tight!! Are you planning to run a pontoon setup to the frame?

yeah pontoon/rocksliders, plan on doing some wheeling with this thing too. the B-pillar land directly above the front spring hanger.

with the A-pillar going right there, will it take away that AC ducting behind the vent? only reason i ask is i have the exact same bronco as you and plan on caging it pretty soon, but wasnt sure if i wanted to go on the side of the dash or go behind it since i dont wanna mess with the AC ducting.

So far just loosing defrost/mirror vents until I fab a new vent for it, the defrost tubes unbolts and you can snake the dash bar back there too, may have to heat up vents on passenger side, but shouldnt be too bad! Who needs defrost and mirror vents anyways

And if you get it tight enough to the body you don't have to move e brake at all, as it it right now e brake is staying in stock location

Ruff Stuff has 14b snouts as well (he says stronger) - $8 cheaper than ballistic.

corp 14 aluminum hubs - ballistic (8 lug!)

Wow, that whole post should be made into a sticky in the tech section.

Thanks for ruining My day with the 14B stuff, I had no idea that there were hubs and snouts available that cheap..........

How did it ruin your day? Were you making your own, or planning on making some to sell?

And on that note - had any free time to whittle stuff down & make chips fly?

Are you going to use the entire D50 TTB or just put the ends on 44 housings?

I am in the middle of putting 4" over D50 housings under my 87 F150 with the sterling 10.25 rear.

What are you going to do for your E Brake and Steering Column support?

[drewbee88]

Tube slides in between cab and e-brake, so ebrake bolts up just as it did before no modification needed
