Might want to think of an angled end on the side tubing at the corners. That could be a tree/object hook. I knocked off a old CB antenna ball mount on the back fender and caught a tube bumper on a tree blasting threw the Pine Forest in Baja. Just a thought.

I was thinking of that also, however Its going to be 3" wider rear per side and 4" in front (track width) hoping once I get the glass and suspension together it wont be a factor. But I hear what your saying. I was also considering, once the cage is in I would run a tube to the outside of the rear spring hanger and then possibly tie in the rear bumper to that so how. Something like this maybe

No real progress on Old No.2 still collecting parts that are stock piled in the Garage & shed, but I did just get back from a little road trip from Oregon. Had a couple of cool pics I thought I'd share.

Thanks Guys! Yep keeping the same color and paint scheme, that's one of the things that kind of drew me to this Bronco. Haven't really seen this color on any other bronco as of yet. And its a stock color apparently. Cant wait to get the glass on, but still waiting for the hood. I figured I would paint them all at the same time.

Well the pile of parts keeps a growing, getting anxious to get this started for the first phase. Just waiting on a few more things and then I'm ready to start. Thought I would take inventory of what I had and what's needed. Waiting on the front Bypasses ( which should be in the next week or two) 2.5 or 3s still haven't decided, rear bumps, Solo rear hangers and shackles, ordering FOX finned reservoirs for both frt. rear Bypasses, and hopefully if things work out the rear end ( but that's if I sell this upcoming Job.... thumbs up and fingers crossed!)
