SSRUNU2 03-22-2008, 10:02 PM Took mine off for the first time today also. Whewww PIA. Wasn't as hevy as I thought though. Did it my self with two big tow straps.
Wouldn't you know it the last to bolts I had to take out were stripped. Had to grind them off.
But all in all, it was worth it.
Nice looking truck 96 FSB.
On a side note was the top actually made to remove or is it just removable the same way a fender/hood etc. is removable?
poopy_pants 03-22-2008, 10:07 PM It was meant to be removed.

I take/took my doors off. Replace the factory pins with some quick release ones, quick disconnect wires, and took out the buzzer.
96GreenMonster 03-22-2008, 10:40 PM Looks good.
warm enough in LI???? send some warmness up north buddy
96 FSB 03-22-2008, 11:11 PM u r the first guy, other than me, that i have seen with a red monochrome but mine's all stock right now what r all ur mods?
Its pretty stock other than the 4"rancho lift and wheels. The bumpers were replaced by the previous owner which were originally red.
The mud flaps or whatever they are called were on it when im got it. They look like a product of Lund to me. I havent really checked. they fit very well.
The weather sure was nice today. I couldnt have picked a better day. Removing the top was not like taking off my old top from my 84. Ford really stuck us with these stupid tamper proof torque head screws. I had to run to sears and by a new set of sockets. I greased up the screws so they went back in like butter. I should have some new pics with the soft top probably by next weekend.

They came with "sport bars" pretty much for show only. You can go to junkyards and try to find the factory ones, sometimes they have them laying around
broncofocused 03-24-2008, 12:14 AM :thumbupJealousy is sinking in. There's still 3 feet of snow on the ground and 24 inches of ice on the lake. Two more weeks and I'll switch to the soft top, hopefully the snow & ice storms will be completely done by then, but there'll be plenty of snow, so I'll have to get a topless pic playing on a snowbank!
Bri_Guy5 03-24-2008, 03:28 PM all good lookin' broncos in this thread. :thumbup

also where do you ride on the beach in the summer. Just got a new tranny and tires so i am ready to go. I live by jones beach but i do not think you are allowed on the beach from memorial day to labor day.
96 FSB 04-01-2008, 08:10 PM yes you are but with a permit.
AMC canvas in amityville is doing the top.
