Whats up Corral!

My name is Jason, and I've popped in here from time to time for help, advice, and some cool builds. So it was time op make an account to have conversions with the real people involved directly to the Ford Community. I own and operate a Fabrication Shop here in Northern California and have been a Off-road / Hot Rod enthusiast sense I could walk. Father and grandfather started the family into this industry and now its my generation to keep it going. So without further Jibber Jabber here is out build.

My Gf wanted a truck after a few years of wheeling with me so we started looking around. I got her eyes set on a Bronco ii. We picked this up a few years back and I've been slowly building it for a great On and Off-road Rig. This B2 can take you to church and threw Rubicon the same day! We have taken it threw all of Rubicon and most of Fordyce Trial, along with some occasional fire trails/weekend get a ways. This build progresses every time we touch it and we have no plans on stopping. I am going to start prototyping a few Ranger/Broncoii Parts here in the upcoming year depending on yours and some local responses I get back from them. But enough about that. Here is a Build List and Photo Dump. Glad to be here and start sharing/conversing a little bit more!

Yeah me too! I always wanted one and when the wife said she wanted a truck I jumped into finding something I love and she would love. And it worked out perfect. Its fun having her ideas added with my logic and making it a very capable rig. We have so much fun in this thing and plan on building something a little bigger here soon as we don't sleep comfortably in it. We like to sleep in our rigs.

Workin hard or hardly workin
Real clean rig. I am a huge fan of that slider-to-bumper setup. I'm in socal would you consider fabbin another one for me down the road? Anyway, curious about the leaf spring conversion, is that a personal preference or just a better setup for the BII? I am heavily inspired to get back to work on my 87, just waiting on engine parts. My whole steering/suspension setup needs an overhaul before the trail realistically.
