    1” lift threw everything off, almost.

So far, we’ve done a new motor, new trans, wiring, Dakota, lift, wheels/tires, etc etc etc. next step is installing new fenders, hood, doors, quarters, and tail. Someone mentioned before I install new body parts I should do my 1”body...

    Help me understand one Explorer swap question please

    Hi All! I recently purchased a 97 5.0 explorer that I plan to use the engine and trans from. I've done a ton of research and lots of info is out there in terms of the process, I don't know what all the parts talked about are, but I can probably figure it out. My question is, why do so many...

    Help please with Mustang seat compatibility

    I ordered a set of new seat frames from Toms and only received the drivers. The passenger seat is backordered until no one knows. CJ Pony parts has the Mustang drivers side complete frame, and it looks like all thats missing would be the offset brackets to bolt the seat to the floor...

    Bumper Talk - What looks good?

    Trying to sort out bumper options for the eb. The stock bumpers look good, but on a lifted rig with big tires they just look a little dainty imho. Not saying they look bad, just not well proportioned: I ordered the Toms impact bumpers and when they arrived they just looked a bit big. I do...

    Windshield wiper removal

    As I dont have a hard top, and the wipers are effectively useless, I’m going to delete them. Also that motor that’s powering them is hideous. How do you remove them? I’ve removed all the bolts holding the assembly in, but I can’t figure out how to take them off.. Sent from my iPhone...

    Gas Cap

    I ordered a “new” gas cap from eBay for my bronco. The locking latches are way shorter and I can’t get it to turn and lock. Any thoughts? Description said it. Fits classic Broncos… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Fuel leak

    Where is a common place to leak from? I filled up yesterday and after a short drive I smelled gas. I pulled over and sure enough, I was dripping from the rear. It was warm and evaporating fast so I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. We had to remove the rubber gas tank filler hose...

    Coyote compatability

    Would this work in my 74? I assume it’s going to take a ton to make it work, but if I wanted to ruin myself financially, is it possible...

    Free shocks, springs, and track bar

    All just came off my 74. I don’t know if they provide lift, but it’s been mentioned maybe 2”? I have 33”s with this set up and I rubbed a tiny tiny bit when fully turned steering to either side. I’m told they’re about 3 years old. A little scuffed but would finish nice. I can’t post in the...

    Share your dash pics!

    I have a couple of questions about a dash and I’m hoping you guys can help! It seems like there are two options for dash. This one that’s already precut for the typical Bronco stuff: And then there’s this one that looks like basically a blank canvas: If I get the one that’s a blank...

    My bronco is smoking. And leaking lol.

    Anyone know what is going on here? I went out for a quick drive and this happened while it was idling in my driveway waiting for the garage door to open. Where does that hose plug in? Is this water or coolant? I lost a good amount, what do I replace it with? Sent from my iPhone using...

    Non Coyote power upgrade help.

    Hello! I have a stout 302 with an Edlebrock 500 carb, hooker headers, and flowmaster exhaust. The truck sounds amazing, and it pulls just about as strong as I need it to for what we are using it for. That said, no one ever said no to more power. Is there a stronger motor I can instal that...

    Parking brake troubleshoot

    So when the rig was delivered the parking brake didn’t work. I took it to the local shop and they installed new cables, but when I got home I realized it still didn’t work. I went under and saw that it needed to be adjusted, there was a ton of slack in the line to the driver rear tire. Also...

    Roll cage placement

    Hi! I’m mocking up the family roll cage portion, and I will be mounting seat belts to the roll cage. The existing cage that’s in there seems like it’s pullled back a few inches further than it should be. When I try to mock the family portion, it seems like the rear bar is too far back for...

    Help me understand the floor shifter. And how to shift.

    Hey! My recently acquired bronco has a Duff floor shifter. The shifts from 1st to second, and 2nd to 3rd are smooth and crisp. My issue is getting it going. When I shift to first from a stop, I release the clutch and feel the gear engage, and at the same time apply gas. It seems like it’s all...

    Vazha 74 build thread.

    It’s here! I’ve been looking for one of these since as long as I can remember. I never really had the time and the energy to fight with my so about one, but I was pleasantly surprised when she not only agreed to get one, but encouraged it! Imagine all the lying about car parts I don’t need to...

    Metal/Paint in the Thousand Oaks Area

    Hi all!! I’m awaiting delivery of our very own 1974! :) I plan to do a big build thread, but before anything I’m in desperate need of a local metal and paint guy. The car has typical rust in the doors/hood/and tail. Nothing crazy, can be salvaged, but I just don’t have the steady hand for it...
