Thanks the console is one of the best parts of this bronco! And yes the T lever is the 4wd shifter, it's the stock 4wd shifter that we just heated up and bent over to work in the console. I works great by the way!

Thanks scott the beams look great huh!!

it's an access panel so I can get to any wires I need. It has a cover that matches the rest of the console it's just not on in that pic

The bronco has not been running well, it has been stalling when put in gear and runs very rich! So I replaced the computer, map sensor and some other things. Turns out there were two wires in the map sensor harness that had fallen a few inches down. We pushed them back in and wham!! Runs 1000 times better!! We also started the front bumper, we are going to add the skid plate next week then build the back bumper. It will carry 2 35" spares flush with the tail gate. Here is some pics of the front bumper so far.

Thanks for the complements!! It has taken me about 9 months to get to this point. Today we finished so of the things we have been waiting for. I mounted the passenger seat, filled some holes in the firewall with new plate, mounted the sub and amp and built some new panels to cover the holes in the area we mounted them. Check it out!

Image

Still have to build one for the other side of the amp!
Image

And yes the seat still flips up! For now untill we cage it!
Image

The reason some of us build these things!!
