Default Ford Bronco from Canada

Hi all. I've been looking around for a while now
and finaly got myself cr01. So 10 hours later
I ended up with this.



Then I didn't like the idea of wheel base being too long so I cut the body
but changed my mind and made a flat bed for it.









Then I looked at some skid plates (to cover my axles ) for sale - they
all too small. So I got some allum. and just made one. Slides over rocks and other staff great.






Then my son was about to put some logs on Ford but everything was falling so I modified a bit.






















For the wheels - I sanded allum finish away and painted it black.
So I got black on black - no damage visible.
I like doing stuff myself kind od inventing something not just wait
for my mailman bring it to me...

very nice work making things work! The rear bed looks great. You should try to make it into a dump body.

For the front plate there is a template (in mm) but I have made front and back
parts longer so it would go ok over rocks and as I have found out lately works just fine
on snow too.



And finaly I had time to make rear skid plate. It has a bit different design.









And here you can see how it looks from the bottom.
Central skid plate on production stage.






And last update is up roof intake pipe. I am just not sure if i am
going to keep that cup. And may be I will change color of those screws.




comments are welcome. that is why we're all here

What did you use to make the snorkel? How did you bend it?

Hi.
So for that snorkel I used white styrene
pipe about 1/4 inch. Used shrink tube to give it
some nice look than heated it up with heat gun
to give it the shape i wanted. Just dont heat it too much
otherwise it might melt down.
For the mud flaps - I realy like them myself too.

I got something to show you.
Started to make wide fenders.
Lets see how I will like it.








As you can see it is not very Bronco style but I think they
gonna look good because they will be in one line with rear fenders.
At the same time front tires wont throw dirt in drivers face on a muddy
road in a rainy day.
