4.56 gears and ARB lockers front and rear so I can try to keep up with my Old Man in his Early Bronco.

Front suspension :

SWP cut and turned beams, with bolt in 3rd member. Single Swing steering, warn hubs.

14" Bilstein coilovers with AGM coilover sliders, Hypercoils, Bilstein bumps tucked into SWP coilover towers.

Out back:

Deaver J40s on ruff stuff perches with Camburg extended shackles, and AutoFab 2-link
SWP upper shock mount with Bilstein 9100 12" quadruple bypass shocks

Custom skids by our very own CHO of RICHER RACING:

Speaking of Jonny and CHO at RICHER RACING; they gave the ol girl so much love, I got a little jealous!

First, they stripped her down....



Is that 2" tube behind the dash? How am I gonna keep the ladies warm and myself cool without factory ducting CHO?

No worries, custom fabbed backing plates for vintage ac round ducting

[DMbronco]

Speaking once again of RICHER RACING; yep, they get CAPS on this keyboard- I can't say enough great things about these guys. True professionals, and just handle their business like a bunch of bosses over there. Off Road Fab is not my business, but I havent experienced anything close to these guys.

I am a pain in the ass; Hey Jonny and CHO, I need a cage, I'm driving too fast out there. But, it can't be loud. So, yeah, I'm gonna bring you guys some bushing mounts from AutoFab you've likely never seen, and find a way to build a cage off them. And, the dash and interior have to be factory. And you gotta plate the Apillars solid so it can still be a sleeper.

Oh, and here's my 3rd grade level rendition of what I want, pretty please

[DMbronco]

i recovered the headliner with marine grade vinyl for easy cleanup-

[DMbronco]

sleeper a-pillars, plated front and rear/ inside/out

[DMbronco]

hey RICHER, how about a removable crossbar with tube clamps to bolt between the B-pillars for the front upper harnesses to bolt to?

I want to keep the 2014 super duty center console/seat for my lady, and also be able to stretch out forl ong trips outside of desert season?

No problem- how about some space age tabs from the future?

[DMbronco]

About those nifty cage bushing mounts from our very own AutoFab; they replace factory body mounts too, so your cage and body are on poly bushings and you're civilized in the streets



and powdercoated
