Re: Kel Fab Creations Bronco Build
Sorry, I wasn't trying to say you were bashing. I'm just used to threads on DR where somebody starts talking crap about an easily fixable body line off so they say they will never buy that glass again blah blah blah. I just didn't want everyone to think I was starting something like that.

Re: Kel Fab Creations Bronco Build
I used u-nuts on my quarters... allows for the fender to be moved around a little for fitment. My Autofab glass didn't fit perfect around my tail light either... but I think John mentioned that it was made for the earlier (80s) Bronco rear.
I think on your glass I would just trim the back off off and do a little fiberglass work to match it up.

Re: Kel Fab Creations Bronco Build
I was bashing. But then again I'm the a-hole that does that and I really dislike the quality of 90% of the off road glass I've seen. I know much better can be done. I've done it and so has John.

Man, why didn't I think of those u nuts. That would have been easier. I'll probably do the fiberglass reshaping after I get all the new suspension under it.philofab wrote:I used u-nuts on my quarters... allows for the fender to be moved around a little for fitment.

Re: Kel Fab Creations Bronco Build
Haha. I have heard that autofab's glass is top notch but I prefer the flat top, wrap around, and tapered rear of the fiberwerks.ChaseTruck754 wrote:I was bashing.

Re: Kel Fab Creations Bronco Build
Got alot done this last week...
rear dropped shackle hangers.



extender fuel filler to fit up to new glass.

started working on beams. 4.5 extension. pretty stoked on these extension pieces.



machined this hole saw pilot adapter thingy up. never opened these up for a uniball before but this is what i came up with. worked great. i got a tip that some guys are doing something similar to this but keeping the bushing in there while doing it but my bushings were squished so the sleeve wasn't exactly in the middle anymore. My way just seemed to lessen any further clean up afterward. the cup fits snug. not sure if anyone has a better way to do it but this worked quite well.



threw up the new wheels/tires to see how it looks.


got new seats too, mounted on stock sliders. got the sliders from a guy that had em on his 96. i expected the pass. side to have the tilt with no slide. What year did that end? would my floor even fit that style direct bolt in? as it sits you would have to climb in between the front seats to get to the back but i wanna have a center console. ideas?

rear dropped shackle hangers.

Re: Kel Fab Creations Bronco Build
My 92 only slid forward. I just built my center console to hole the weight of a person getting in the rear. I do not believe the flip style will fit.
I'm just here for the views. It helps me feel wanted.

Re: Kel Fab Creations Bronco Build
Ya, i'll be selling these hangers. Off the top of my head they are only like a 1.25 drop I think. Just enough to clear the 6.25? center to center shackles I got with the 64 kit. let me know if u want some dropped more. I'll be selling these for 225.

Re: Kel Fab Creations Bronco Build
You sure have made some progress and the shackles look sick. Now if you would hurry up and let me so those radius arms.... I know my bronco is gonna end up over there.
