My current project is be built using a Bronco Design body and I have come to a point where I have some questions about the durability and strength of the body. My major concern is the front clip and mounting the battery. When I picked the body up Corey said the battery has been mounted on the box used to attach the body to one of the front body mounts on the frame. It looks like a really nice mounting location for the battery but my concern is will it hold the battery when being driven in some pretty rough terrain (where I live there are some roads that rival KOH). I’m kind of worried about mounting radiator and running into the possibility of core support becoming damaged due to terrain this rig will live in. I also know I have clearance issues with my headers and inner fenders wells too (351w based motor is causing this). I am giving serious thought to doing away with the inner front clip and building an inner clip with DOM tubing. If you’ve had any experience with using the inner clip in rough terrain and how it held up I really like to hear from you. If you have any ideas or advice on building a tube inner clip I love to see or hear about that too. Lastly I want to say I’m really happy with the quality of the Bronco Design Body and you couldn’t ask for a better person to deal with then Corey. I’m just really concerned with heavy components damaging fiberglass because of constant and some harsh conditions the rig will see. Thank you
