LOTS going on the last 2 weeks!
got the motor pulled and the trans/tcase dropped off for upgrades
Rear fenders all mounted up
Spencer fabbed up some rock sliders for me! His welds are way better than mine.
Fresh meats - I chose BFG AT2 just based on the weight of the tire. really wanted a light...
Ya i already bought the desolate ones. wish i would have bought the longer versions but they will work. these were only 3/16" and started deforming the holes, i feel much better with the 1/4".
Also im pulling a stock 93 5.8 with 220xxx miles out of this thing. ran when parked to build it 6 months ago, missing some smog stuff. let me know if you need anything, everything but the accessories are going. (computer, wiring, motor etc)
Front 3" glass, unknown mfg but kinda seems like Trailer Products??? Previously mounted with holes but they look to be in the right spots and are in decent shape.150$?
Bronco K&N Intake, bought for a 93 with a 5.8l but i think it fits a lot of years. New in box unopened. 150$ (300 new on...
Took a little break from Bronco'ing and made a new patio table with lots of help from Sam. Turned out pretty sick! home depot 4x4s, some scrap 3" box tubing I had at work, and some all thread.
back to bronco-ing:
Trimmed the middle u joint so it just touches at metal to metal droop. Had to go...
Theres 2, ones mine https://forum.badlinesgoodtimes.com/threads/trixie-the-twin-turbo-race-truck.1853/#post-33539

Bronco movin along
got the front end mostly assembled. Realized i need to do a lot of trimming on the pass stub shaft to get the droop. Tommy had some great suggestions about using a D50 shaft, im gonna just trim these and see if they last, otherwise ill upgrade to those.
Got my steering brace...
Still hits even with my fancy lowpro retainer. in the photos the beam still has about an inch and half of uptravel. Most of the issue is the oil fill cap. I could try to go with a different flush mount cap but at this point its looking like more hassle than its worth. Im moving on for now and...
Finally got off my ass and did the blasting and painting I needed done
Got the rear end mostly assembled, just need to double check drive shaft angle and weld the perches on. then I can paint the axle too.
Started putting together the front end as well, needed to button up some brake lines and a...
You're not wrong, but I have some grandiose vision in my head of sliding into a Pemex gas station, topping off with (maybe) 91, turning the boost down to lame, and heading to the cantina after a long day of prerunning. Call me a dreamer haha
Bronco is movin along nicely
squirt gun action getting less and less rusty. Steering Box Brace/pitman double shear/whatever you want to call it done. Just a flimsier copy of what i did on the race truck which has been working beautifully. Shock mounts and pinion angle set. Limit strap tabs on...
