To each his own. In my opinion, it is one of the best designs for a "functional" hood scoop. But, hey, what do you tell a "ghey" guy that would rather have the "lund" tape fakey scoops stuck on the hood of his "stocker" bronco.....

The Hillbilly homebrew cowl scoop looks good, I always wanted to try doing that, but lost ambition before the knife came out to start butchering.

i don't know who the hell you are, so wtf is you problem with me? i never said i wanted scoops on my bronco, and yes it is stock. do trucks and suv's all start out lifted in idaho? because they don't here in illinois. and i'm 25, yes i am younger than you, but i'm damn sure not a 16 year old kid.

Talking sorry bout the "16"

Most old Fords end up lifted in Idaho, kind of the nature of the beast I guess.....makes traversing old skid-roads much easier.....

I don't have a problem with you Mr. Lund catalog, I just find it offensive when people start ******* on someone else's creation that they are proud of, when said dogger has not performed any mods to his own rig and prolly even has Jiffy Lube change the oil for him. One of those guys that thinks his 351M is a 351C........Sorry, I couldn't help myself....

Maybe you have that kind of relationship with Cheeto, I don't know.

from another site we are both on.
i wasn't ******* him in a personal, mean way. and i just got that bronco a month or so ago, and i bought it because it was stock. i've always had lifted trucks, but never built my own, so i bought a stocker to build the way i want. i do my own wrenching, and even change my own oil like a big boy if you were poking fun at me because i mentioned j.c. whitney, i don't get it. i wouldn't buy replacement body panels from them, but most of their other products aren't too bad a quality, including their steel cowl hoods.

Dear whoever designed 14B hubs,

You sir are a fuggin retard. All the bearings and races go in from the back side? The outer race is pressed in and has a snap ring? Way to go rainman.
