[BrianBuckelew]

Hey im new to these forums but i got a 96 Ford Bronco and im just starting to take it off-road and stuff but its stock and ive put myself in some tight situations. Im going to put a 3"-4" inch lift when i get around to it but for now i dont got the money i want to replace the front side panels with after market ones that arent so low in the front so my front end wont hit rocks as easy ten i want to take off my stock bumpe and put in a stell bumper on the front thats a little higher but i need some suggestions anybody got any thanks later

LOL thanks Seabronc . The 92 to 96 are easy to mak new bumpers for because of the way the factory one bolts on . I am thinking that a 96 would have an airbag though so becareful you dont set it off that would really **** . depending on how much lift you have for suspension and if you have a body lift or not will depend on how the bumper will have to be made if you want gaps or not . On my F250 shortbox I made the plowframe main mount useing 3/8 thick 8 inch C channel . I have a 92 body on an 81 frame though so the c channel fit perfect over the frame horns but I still have the body contours that you have to deal with . I plan to build a regular bumper for it this summer . Probably use th same 8 inch c channel and cut and weld it to follow body contours then when it wraps around ends cut it so that it follows wheel well opening shouldnt be very dificult if you have experience with a welder and a torch or better yet a plasma cutter /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
