Oh, you're the dude that bought Brians axles. Those have been some places..

I say, paint it beige. The world needs another Beige BII on 35s. :D

It's coming along great dude. Hope to give mine some attention and hit up Browns with you guys this year.

Nice build man, just read it all. I just bought a running Bll for 100 bucks and I can't wait to get it here and start tearing into it. It will be a dedicated wheeler ill trailer around. Thanks for some tips and ideas that were in here. Keep on keeping on.

I would go as far and "Blowing the dust off" but lets go with a "half hearted wipe and see how dusty it really is and walk away"

With a few wheeling trips planned soon i decided it was time to poke the bronco and see what falls off.

started with putting in a new CB (ignore the ugly interior...please, please just do this for me. thanks)



mounted my maglite:


grabbed a hydraulic handbrake and its ready to run plumbing to:



then i got a little carried away with the grinder, still need to do the rears...

Your mag-lite location might be a bad idea, one good bump and that thing will fall on you. I have had several come out of their holders after hitting a bump, and I was just driving a 18 wheeler down the road.

Thanks for the advice. I personally have not seen that issue before, been in many a rig mobing a trail or back road with no issue. If it happens on the trail I will relocate it, and you can tell me "I told you so"

Well I removed my old beat up shocks and drove it to my buddies work to measure for new shocks. Also wanted to see how much i needed to remove out of the rear fenders, turns out not as much as i thought. Need to add about 4 inches to my rear bump stops and add about 2 inches to my fronts.

insert poser shots here:

Ordered some Bilstein shocks for the bronco that fit the measurements, can't wait to get them. 71 bucks a corner from ebay.

Yeah the fronts didn't need that much trimming, I got carried away while cutting...oops. At least I will never have to worry about the fronts again.

I was watching "Extreme 4X4" today, they are getting ready to do ANOTHER heep, I think he needs to do a couple Rangers, Bronco II's, and Explorers, and get off the heeps for a while.


Sorry for the rant, I'll go home now.

They won't, jeeps are everywhere. They are easy to build and everyone and their dad drives one. Not to mention the aftermarket for those is insane.
