What size tires are those, and do you have a close up pic of the track bar mount? Looks real good, I have a '77 44 waiting to go in my bronco soon.

installed my gears and welded the spiders, also i purchased some 5.5" Superflex EB coils from broncograveyard.com


Okay got my springs installed, their not broke in yet, but they are softer then my SJ's but not as soft as i would like. Maybe they'll get softer as they break in.

Got my front headlights and parking lights wired up. Also got my Winch hooked up and i'll have to make due with the shorter winch cable for now. Still need to make a few more braces to the frame/bumper to strengthen it. I still need to mount one shock in the rear and make a rear bumper. But its damn close.

I may have a hub going though, the LF is extremely hard to switch from free to lock and back to free

And my Radiator has a pin hole leak somehwere on the pass tank about half way up, so thats another thorn in my side i gotta fix

Man, that is awesome to see it go from two different trucks to one. Makes me want to go out and rip my b2 off the frame and rebuild it.

Thanks a lot....

Looks great!

yes that is weld

okay, got my last shock mounted, and the rear bumper done, also put my plate on it and changed the spark plugs

really all that is left is a radiator (its leaking between the tank and the cores) and finish supporting the front bumper

heres the rear bumper mounted (it looks really wide, but my tires are still wider then the bumper)




amd i had my first mishap...........



i popped the coil out (LF) when i lifted the front tires off the ground, the eyelet i put on to retian the bucket bent outward and released the coil (i replaced it with another eyelet and welded it closed so it cannot pull apart again)
