Extreme Bronco II build
Hey guys im new around here and figure that i might as well introduce me and my project!
The project is a 1988 Bronco II with the 2.9L v6 5 speed that i picked up for $700. Its gonna be a hardcore trail rig (all info you probably already got from the profile on the left ) The plan is a relatively cheap trail rig with custom double transfer case, front and rear 4 linked Dana 60s, 39.5" Iroks, beadlocks, chopped top, roll cage, HD bumpers, and maybe even some tube doors for the cool factor So thats the plan! I already have the tires, which are 39.5x13.50R16 Iroks. I also had the double transfer case pretty much done with a Dana 300 setup for passenger side drop with a Dodge D60 front but a buddy is giving me a great deal on a ford HP 60 so now im in the process of changing it to a drivers side drop setup for that.
Here are the pics I have as of now:
The truck (already been rolled on its drivers side):
The bead locks:
I welded the nuts on so that i dont have to use 2 wrenches every time:
The double transfer cases:
The BW1350 complete with filler fitting and vent tube/oil level sight tube
The Dana 300 also with sight tube, but will be modified for drivers side drop
And the intermediate shaft. It will break most likely but im gonna make spares. Can make a lot of these before it costs more that making a new one piece shaft!
And heres my SolidWorks model of my custom bumper. Its 1/4" wall 2.5" tubing with a 1/2" thick winch plate. Only weighs 90 pounds :icon_thumby:
Anyway thats it! Thanks for looking everyone and comments/questions are always appreciated!
