You can do it faster if you get off the computer

got my motor in place with trans. now i need to install transfer case,carb,finish up radiator mount. and figure out how to wire everything up. i think i will basiclly start over with the wireing. going down to get oil pressure,water temp/volt gages in the morning. i figure since i am going to eliminate the computer it would be easier to do.
also got my front clip almost dailed in. never mind the single shear shock mounts they dont work will never work
once i get all this done,i am going to build new beams and axles(or modify the ones on it now not to sure yet)
then it'll be done untill i get my rear frame section built and new wider rear axle built
still trying to decide if i want to order the fiberwerx rear glass or modify truck bedsides for the body
what are your thoughts??

go truck bedsides - depending on how much you will stretch it this should be easier and most likely a little cheaper.

bajascott · Post by **bajascott** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 5:31 pm

fiberwerx are 400 for the 12" longer bronco sides..plus shipping.
if i could find some truck sides cheaper than that..... i will go that route. i was also thinking about doing some of my crazy sheetmetal work to offset the stock bed rails and use my skins i have now............................................................................................................ that was me showing you what im talking about...
haha i cant put in works i have to use the mexican sign languge it esplaane it.

I forgot Fiberhacks made that fugly bedside for the speed unlimited bronco. Not into how the thing bulges up by the rear window. It's like all these fake louvers to me. People trying to look "TT" and looking dumb instead...

bajascott · Post by **bajascott** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 6:05 pm

thats why im glad this front clip is stock looking, i really dont like all the louvers.they make no sence on a street driven truck but who am i?
i dont really like the way they round the fenders on the fiberwerx glass either but im kinda stuck. i could just leave it stock W/B and just widen the rear axle to match the front...

Put off the stretch for now, and get it ready to join us in Pismo!

bajascott · Post by **bajascott** » Thu Nov 11, 2010 10:45 pm

i have actually been thinking about not doin it.just getting all my stuff (springs ,shocks rearend etc..)put on and seeing how it does with the stock length.but wider stance. hell i dont know,i want to drive it!!!!haha

Hey Scott what are you doing with the AOD? Im interested in it if you want to sell it.I want a Overdrive for freeway.The C-6 with 4.10 gears just isnt that great on the freeway for gas mileage.Do you have a link to the bronco you speak of thats streched?

hobbyturnedobsession · Fri Nov 12, 2010 8:58 am

Come on Scott! If I'm finally going to make it to a shindig you got to be there too! Put it back together!

bajascott · Post by **bajascott** » Fri Nov 12, 2010 9:42 am

hobbyturnedobsession · Fri Nov 12, 2010 12:08 pm

Hahah alright then! Let us know when you get more done, I want to see it.

not very nice......
well came to the conlusion, that doing a stretch on this right now would *cough *stretch *cough* my budget a little too much right now.
with a road trip(off roadtip too) coming up with my girls,the possiblity of heading down to oismo, and dealing with this race up here, now will not be the time to ry and work it out. so i am going to get it back to gether get the rear suspension done and drive the piss out of it again till something catistrophic happens again....
