Got a stock bumper on it for now.

Fancy winch/tube bumper eventually. Will draw up in Solidworks and either get Karl to build it or attempt myself depending on how proficient I've become at welding at the time I decide to do that.

And word of advice, dont mention not having insurance on a vehicle u drive..... Thats VERY stupid. I would rather drive a non-licensed vehicle than one without insurance... I pay $16 a month for my DD, and $30 a month for my off road rig. Its a good thing to have when **** happens.

Yep $16 for a 94 F150. Full coverage would be $43 a month. It helps that I'm 26, have a class A CDL, and a clean driving record(well its clean now anyways)

Why not, I've worked on almost every other part of that bronco. Only things left that I haven't touched are tranny, t-case, driveshafts, and electrical!




I'm gonna start making a new front bumper for my 150. Gonna kind of look like the Warn bumper, just not so deep and will have 4" box for the main support that will be for the reese hitch, not a hidden winch. This way I can keep the heavy weight off the front and if I ever need it, I can winch from front or rear.

And you know i'm good with that arrangement. I need the money to finance better parts for the ranger, then I take the old stuff off and sell it to you again.
