Hey folks. Been lurking about fro a while.
First Diesel I had was an 89 F350 7.3l IDI. That had me hooked. Loved that truck and miss her. I always wanted to do a Diesel 4 door bronco/centurion type rig but never had the chance. I do prefer the old body style and was googling around for a donor vehicle to drop a 7.3l into my bronco when I Scored a 2001 Ex 7.3l back in Feb. I fell love with it!

I've been modding her a bit at a time and she has come a long way. Still got a ways to go though to get everything the way I want it.
So far:
38r turbo w/non-ebpv pedestal
6630 filter
coolant filter
regulated return w/ fuel bowl delete
PHP Hydra
4" straight pipe
db electrical / denso type starter
riffraff billet intakes
riffraff cac boots
adrenaline hpop
JW valvebody
IronCross bumper <-- bit of a regret on that
engo 12k winch

To Do:
Lift it
install tank sump
trans cooler upgrade
rear bumper w/ tire carrier
roof rack
delete rear ac/heat
better injectors
Need to learn how to do some body work. the PO put some dents in the rear passenger door.

welcome to db:hellox:

why the regret on the bumper?:humm:

Well the ironcross bumper is better than stock for sure. However, I don't think it is quite as durable as I'd like. For example, it doesn't have good bracing on the mounting plates, making wobble more than I'd like going over bumps and such. Secondly, the material itself is surprisingly soft 1/8th inch stock. While bending the mounting tabs behind the bumper to make some fog lights fit, I actually bent one of the holes for the light out of round. I was able to bend it back into shape but I still don't think that should have happened in the first place. Considering it was near 1/3rd the price of others, it's not a bad deal at all to be honest. Had I known this about it up front, I likely would have saved up a little longer for a little more.
