Here is my budget bronco. Ive built it over the last month for less then $1000 and all it needs to be finished is to finish up the bumpers and add some scratches and more trail dents.

specs are: dana 35 with lockright in the front and a welded explorer rear. superrunner steering kit 6" lift with extended radius arms, add a leafs,block,and shackles to lift the rear. 33x13.50 tsl's on 15x8 black steelies. Swapped to a fm146 tranny and 4.0 clutch.

hmm well in that case I didnt subtract the $200 I got from selling the lift I was given with the bronco or the $150 I got for the auto shit that came out. If my math is right that puts me well under you!

Nice build. Mine started as a "budget build" and that went out the window real quick.
