Don't want to re-hash old news, but the wipers interest me. I'm near that point in my build and would like to know the ins and out and whys and wherefors. Are you glad you did it and how did you did it? Nicest Bronco I've ever seen, Btw. Howard in beautiful West Michigan.

Thank you for the kind words! As far as am I happy with that modification, absolutely! I love the fact that it gets rid of the bulbous cover at my forehead. To me, it makes it feel a little less confined in the drivers seat. So far I have been in some hard driving rain and they worked well, I never once felt that they were not clearing the windshield and that was while driving along at 70mph for 3 hours. I would most definitely be doing them again and I am, in fact we are building a LUBR for a customer and it is getting that mod along with a 1/2 cab that will be receiving that modification as well. We have plans to build a U14 shop truck in the future and it will get it also so yes, it is well worth it in my books.

Tom, truck is awesome! Still LOVE looking at it any time! First class job all the way! I might have to copy the wiper mod as well eventually. However, there is something nostalgic about having them on top of the windshield to me. Maybe I am CRAZY!! :eek:

Took the Duck for a trip to Charleston and met up with this fellow and his awesome family. The tall guy is BFerrari and the handsome guy on the right is yours truly.

Took the Duck to a car show this past weekend and she won a few awards. 1st place in the class it was listed in as well as best in show. I am quite proud and thankful for the recognition.

Well as some may cringe, I had to do what I built her for, to go where I wanted to in comfort and she does that well. From camping to off road, she is a very capable rig and not just another pretty face.

They are more fun to use than just to look at, that's for sure! I know you had some of the most comfortable seats on the ride too! Thanks for sharing Tom!

Looks like you had fun doing what Broncos do best. If you don't use em why bother. ;)

Great pics of the trip! I know you mentioned a custom mix for your boxwood green. Is it metallic?
