That's a clean design Vlad. I worked with a buddy who doesn't nothing but offroad and overlanding stuff and the ridiculous amount of money people spend on stuff like this I don't see why you wouldn't have a market for it especially if it's a simple design the average user can do themselves.
@@InvincibleExtremes yeah my neck of the woods is overland central. People bring brand new Toyotas they just got from the dealership straight to my buddies shop to get the complete ARB overhaul. More money then sense around here though haha.
Good update and good design. Your Bronco reminds me of a 66 International Scout we bought. The owner was selling it and said it needed a clutch. We looked at it and I had already rebuilt the 3 speed in my 62 International pickup so I thought putting a clutch in would be fairly easy. After installing the trans in my truck the clutch didn't feel the same. Well it turns out the slave cylinder for the clutch needed to be rebuilt and bled. I reminded my brother of that and when we got the Scout home that he bought for half what the guy was asking because it wouldn't go into gear, well it was just a bleeding of the slave cylinder and we were back in business. It's a lot of fun in a four wheel drive to go where most cars can't. Working on a big project now but not a car project. My son just bought a fixer upper. It was a rental and the bathroom had a leak for awhile that messed up one wall and some of the sub flooring. Lots of fun but he got it for a low price in a good area. Lumber supplies can be costly but I have stashed away some that is helping him out. Hope your family is all well. Happy Motoring.
That rack is great. Designing overland rigs might be your thing. Dudes pay big bucks for custom stuff. Do you still own the firebird? God bless you and your family.
Bronco II's are awesome, I had a clean '89 Eddie Bauer the interior was pristine. It was light enough to surf through 2 feet of snow. I put 235's on it just like you have there and it made the rig the perfect height and power ratio as compared to the dinky little 215 75 R15's it had on it when I got it. Ended up trading it straight across for a '93 Explorer that has a 3" body lift, 6" suspension lift(Superlift I think) has 35" Wrangler MTR's, 4.56:1 ratios, Auburn front locker, Detroit rear locker. Fabbed winch bumper in the front (no winch yet) trying to get a C5 bellhousing to mate to the 4.0l for a C4 auto and swap to a 4WD tailshaft and adapter to mate to the BW 1354 transfer case, considering doubling it with the old BW1350 from the old Bronco II which was still good but I replaced it before trading (used case was like $50) someone converted the Explorer from the stick 5 speed manual to an A4LD(rebuilt. Poorly at that as it grenaded at the 8,000 mile mark even with an auxiliary transmission cooler with electric fan) anyway. I have a 1968 Mercury Cougar 302 2V I want to put in it eventually and run an NP435 4 speed and a stout F250 transfer case(I haven't decided which model yet) something with a great low range crawling gear! I now have 2 Bronco II's an '88 and a '90 I'm going to get rolling ASAP and the '90 will be my daily driver. I like how you're doing that roof rack!
Так, вааапще ничего не понял . Мне показалось,что на крыше будет фанера,а на неё - опционально тэнт????? Совсем нЭ понял,зачем ??? Или это для груза / багажа дополнительное отделение?????
i would have popped the windows off and made steel panels with flares so can climb in top from windows, then took back door off so make extension for bathroom and kitchen to go with the steel camper top and turning the rears so don't hit rocks or drop a drive shaft. 🏕
