Plan on taking advantage of not working tomorrow and hopefully having a productive day of work on the Bronco.
Plan is to:
1. Build trac-bar (bend an off-set in it) and get heim ends welded on to bolt in-place.
2. Work on Pass. trail door.
3. Get the body bolted down for good so I can start taking measurements to bend the front clip.
I needed to get some weight on the front end before welding the trac-bar for good, so Keith had a good idea - bolt the PO's heavy as h*ll front bumper on it and mount the winch. I've also got some other heavy things I'll stack on it tomorrow - a couple car batteries, chains, etc. to make up any other weight to get accurate measurements.
Here's a pic with the original front bumper and winch - looks goofy with the narrowed grill and wide bumper
