79 bronco build.

[fordman1978]

well i just picked this thing up a few weeks ago should be way better than that tiny cj-5.
as of right now its bone stock on some puny mismatched 31"s has a 400m, 4bbl intake, c6 tranny, np203 fulltime t-case, 44 front, and 9" rear.
the plan so far is put my 63" chev springs in the rear inboarded with a 2" add a leaf and a 1" zero rate add a leaf , with some boomerang shackles and replace the 9" with a 14 bolt. put 3/4 ton outers on the 44 to make it 8 lug (only until i can afford a 60 front) for springs im going to use some 8" superlift coils with the adjustable ballistic fab coil buckets so i can lower the front to match the rear lift along with building some custom extended radius arms. going to run 38-42" tires undecided on size and style yet

i will have some pics of it up tomorrow.

Sounds cool man, wish I lived closer id take that nine off your hands after you go 14 bolt, you can get some pretty beefy componants for them.

[fordman1978]

finally a few pics of the bronco. it definately needs new tires and wheels soon.



and whats been in my back yard lately

[Chevy Girl]

Good project. Looks kinda like Marv's Bronco. And the elk are impressive.

[WILLYNILLY]

dont 4get to cage ur beast, youtube has a bad wheelin vid of a bronco with no cage.



cool bronco btw..... one of my top 5 all time vehicles

[fordman1978]

yea a cage is defiantely on the list of things. ive seen that bronco video a few times and its pretty bad and a waste of sweet bronco.
thanks it should be getting better soon though. theres only 1 vehicle i would rather have than this bronco is the 66-77 style those things are sweet.

what are boomerang shackles?

[fordman1978]

they are basically shaped like a bomerang. they allow a little more travel. along with keeping the spring away from the frame at full compression

[BROWN]

looks like your going to have fun with that

[fordman1978]

yea it should be a pretty good project. just need a little more money to get started on it.

[fordman1978]

well i just got my tires. 39.5/15/15 tsls with a good 60-75% tread.

[WILLYNILLY]

Cool those will really transform the looks of your rig!

[fordman1978]

yea they will. this thing is going to be pretty beefy when i get it done.

[fordman1978]

tomorrow im going to work on putting in my electric fuel pump, electric fan, and might bolt on my 35"s with a little fender trimming
