Do you not get enough wind in the bronco driving down the street with no doors and no top??
Or is it for when you have the top up and the doors on and the windshield up?

I plan on running the top with no windows kinda like a "family bikini" top.:biggthumpup:

And the fan really works well... just tried it today.:toothy12:

Real nice, dude... :biggthumpup:

One suggestion though... If you gonna run the rocks, try raising that new high lift, if you can.... It looks (to me) that it hinders your approach angle a little.

Looking good though, can't wait to see it again, in person!

A high-lift bumper...... do you have a patent attorney? Better get that one documented ASAP.

PASTUUUUSHHHH (my drum impression) :hysterical:... Good point!!!!

That rig has come a long way since the M&G .. look forward to seeing it again.

Maybe next time you'll have a custom bumper on the front Wink

JP, I think JayT is right. You will be amazed at the rocks that will peel that highlift right off the front of your truck. Drop a tire in a hole and its gone. I always worry about my bumpers, knowing full well they are only appearance items. Have to be careful and think about them all the time.
