It's nice to finally know where the wheel base is going to be. I now know that my buddies trailing arms will work for me.

What is your new wheelbase going to be?
Re: 95 Bronco Build!
It's going to be right about 120"

Looks good! Are you going to fill in the shell window or make it one lrg. one? I always thought it would be kind of cool to make it some kind of wing vent to get some ventilation for the rear passengers.

Or a air scoop for the rear shocks ???
Re: 95 Bronco Build!
Going to fill it, this truck is my inspiration. He left a window in it, I did a little photoshop action.

I agree with you on that. The cool part about what I'm doing is the shell will still be removable. Maybe one day I'll tackle that

Re: 95 Bronco Build!
Any plans to mold off these bedsides when complete, or is it a one and done deal?
Re: 95 Bronco Build!
I'd say just a 1 and done. That mold would collect a lot of dust!

Re: 95 Bronco Build!
On a caged truck, if you ran a piece of 2x2 sqaure tube inside the cab that bolts to the body mounts, would that be enough support to allow a 4" notch in the rear body crossmember?Travisfab wrote:The notch to move the tank is not a huge deal if you're caging the truck. You can just only do so much with these trucks.

If you were to run horizontal tubes parallel to the rear window line and plate them to the cab, I think that would be enough. 4" is pushing it though, you're getting really close to the back of the cab at that point.
On a side note, my direction on the build has changed a bit. Since I have the Explorer now for a comfortable family cruiser, I've decided to make the Bronco a dedicated dirt truck. I'm not going to build the cage so much for comfort and storage space, and more for simplicity and strength. No carpet, no stereo, just flat out performance! My son is two now and is getting close to being able to help out in the garage. I'd like to finish it up as a father some project.

Sad day, but it's time to move on. Trying get my ball rolling in Real Estate & I just flat out don't have the time for this project anymore. Any or all is available.
