How much lift are you planning on running to fit those tires? Trimming?
What type of Radius Arms and coils?
I love my Bronco. Here is mine with a 6" lift and 35's. I wanted to make it a little lower, but 6" was the lowest I could do without making new cross members or really limiting up-travel of the front diff as it would will make contact with the TTB/main engine cross member.
Let me know if you need any help or have questions.

Great Truck Elmo
Elmo great truck! I love the paint, my DD is red in the sam,e areas as yours but my middle is silver. Gray interior. They are beautiful like that! Your truck is awesome!
I am going to run a 6" lift, and probably use leafs to do the SAS upfront. I have the Front Dana 60 ready to go as you can see but for some reason I am just really liking the idea of leafs, although the truck I just bought has 6" coil in it already. Uhhh....decisions, decisions!

What coils, and radius arms are you running on your bronco? I'll be building a 78 or 79 here shortly. Those look like CAGE offroad radius arms if i was to guess?How much lift are you planning on running to fit those tires? Trimming?

Starting the Roof Rack
Here are some pics of my "soon to be" roof rack. I got the water cans from an expo member Rover Hokie-the man is great! Great deal fast ship, he even did me a solid when I needed to change my order....HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!:wings:
The roof rack will be 54" wide and 85" long, I will see if I can post the crude drawing I came up with for the entire thing, until then here acouple pics.

I started to expand the roof rack...more to come. I started witha a Harbor Freight ATV Rack becasue there arent any racks that I like available. The metal is thinner then I hoped but I am strenghtening as I go. Here are a few more pics and more to come.

Rack Mounting
Well, just to be clear, the pics above holding the water cans are about 1/4 of the actual rack. This is the right side above the driver, it will be duplicated on the left side nad they will both be mounted via the rain gutter. The back of the rack will be mounted either directly to the roof, which is not my first choice or to a "hoop" system. What that means is I want to run tubing down the side of the truck and bolt it into the body below the windows and res the cage on the front and rear support. So it will kinda be an exo cage but not really at all, just to give you an idea.

i don't know if your still looking for a fold down seat or not , but I have nice one from the rear of an econoline van. Its blue in color. Shoot me a PM if your interested.I can get pics and dimensions.(just south of Roanoke,VA)
The van will go to scrap soon and I hate to leave this seat in it, it just won't work with the plans for my van.I'll take $50 for it.
