Re: Mark's 71 BKO

It's just a home made bracket, I started with the WH bracket to help dial in my spacing.

It runs again!
I ended up taking 14" out of the grill then lowered the grill about 2".
Body working the hood (that was bad to start) was a PITA but I got to learn a few new things.
If I did it again I would only use new parts. Beating out my banged up grill and a bad hood was harder then I thought.
Just tooling around I'm excited over the increased visibility over the hood, the narrow front end it just weird to me, I see many face fulls of mud in my future.

Do your tires clear that bumper when turned at full stuff? Looks good!

It's always been very close, when I did all this work I actually bent the bumper out another 1/2" to help it.
I've wanted to do a new bumper on it for a while but I've got other projects it needs. Mainly a new dash

Looks awesome Mark! I have thought about doing this for many years, but I just can't bring myself to do it. (yet) I want to sit in it to see the added visability from the drivers seat.

Re: Mark's 71 BKO

Thanks!
It's super weird to be narrower up front.
My garage is turned 90 degrees from my driveway so I always have to turn past the camper and jeep, I've been doing this a long time.
The other day I noticed my tire can go under the camper jack and rub the jeeps spare tire without the broncos fenders/grill hitting anything. I can't wait to get it on the trail.
