I've always been toying around with the idea to chop the top off my bronco and well, I finally did it. I still have alot of work to do but I love the way its turned out so far.



After I took the top off I used it to cap the ends above the tail lights. I've never tried to weld this thin of metal and its a HUGE pain in the butt.



The plan is for now to put a 4 point cage in the back for now and either put on a ranger tail gate or make one up. I'm also going to do something with a soft top snap riveted on. :icon_bounceblue:

LMAO, Guys realy? Good job on the chop top man, are you going to soft top it?
A guy that lives near me used his leftover top, caped it, and made it a bolt on for winter.
It was sweet.

LOVE IT!!!! Now that I have another truck (94 Dodge dually) I will cut my top off one of these days. I really think Ford missed the boat on this one. Could you image if they would have build the BII with a removable top the full size Bronco??? They made the Ranger to look like the F150. The BII looks like it but no fiberglass removable top.

Not my cup of tea unless you do a nice soft top, but to each his own. At least it clean looking.
