Kel Fab Creations Bronco Build

[Kel Fab Creations]

Use a bushing so it keeps everything from moving yet flexible. If that makes sense...

Yessir. Makes sense to me that's why I did it.

I'd like to get new poly body mounts too to match it all up. I also have motor and trans mounts I'm swapping to poly. Anyone use this set? http://broncograveyard.com/bronco/i-330 ... black.html

[Kel Fab Creations]

Actually this set looks better.

Hey Kel. What seems to be the difference between the two?

[Kel Fab Creations]

More pieces, hardware included. I'm doing research now trying to find the best price available. In my head I'm only counting 8 body mounts. Why are there sets of 12 or 20? Not sure what I need yet.

[crisis88]

I saw the one has more pieces. But like you, I'm still not sure why there is a difference.

[ChaseTruck754]

are you counting all the "pads" under the rear cargo area? Seems I'm always surprised by how many are there when I cut one of these suckers up again...

I've got the poly mounts on my crew. I think I have the energy ones vs. the prothane. I can't remember which. I do know the best price I was able to find on them was on Amazon though - so have a look there.

Also one thing to note is they don't sell the steel inner sleeve kit thing with poly kit & trying to get the ones out of your stock mounts without destroying them may be a tough ordeal. You can buy the new inner sleeves from LMC truck though, or I've even gotten them from the dealer in the past & I don't remember it costing a ton. that was about 10-12 years ago now though.

I built these to go through mine

Who can guess where these are gonna go?

[yikes]

Steering links. Haha!

Who can guess where these are gonna go?

TELL ME NOW! I can't figure out why a bolt together joint appears to be threaded internally to be bolted in... It's like some sort of crazy double removable redundancy for when one bolt strips out?

[cs_drums]

Are you going to thread the body mount bolts in to those in the cab and use them to make a removable cage? Wild guess!

But seriously what are they for?!

[ChaseTruck754]

Have you done a rear shock mount yet? If not - that's my guess for the double removable tube mount things. I was going to say they were part of the engine cage, and you didn't like your original setup, but I couldn't see the benefit or change they would add so I dropped that.

Either way - I'm interested to see how you use them.

[Kel Fab Creations]

Keep guessing! This is fun.

Detachable snow cone maker

[Kel Fab Creations]

I LOVE snow cones! mmm.

[Rmc]

Mmmm eBay? Racedezert perhaps? Ok I give up where?

[Kel Fab Creations]

Alright. I'm done messing with you guys. Here it is in all it's glory. lol.

I like it. I recommend some sort of lock for the bolt? I'd consider drilling the threaded portion of the bung/coupler and bolt to use a cotter pin.

[Kel Fab Creations]

For sure. Gonna put a dab of locktite on the threads as well as a lock washer.

That was weird. It didn't show your second sentence till after I responded. Cotter pin is a good idea but I think lock washer and locktite should be fine. After all, thats all that holds the rad arms to the beams right?

[jkrell]

Cool design, buff. Only down side I see is the inability to shank out the bolt. Maybe if its an option on design version 2.0 you can get the threads recessed a bit so bolt shank can pass through both sides.
