Well earlier this year found out we're having kid number 2. Fast foward a couple trades and selling off a bunch of shit, were piecing together clapped out bronco and a stock width long travel from desolate. Really trying to build something i can drive out from the house and enjoy a camping trip with the kiddos, or tow out behind the truck and scare the shit out of my wife.
Original plans was to get this guy on a stock width kit from desolate, keep the 2.5 coil overs in the front (cause who can afford those sexy IBPs?)
Bumped the rear up to 3.0x12 bypasses (if they ever come in, 9 weeks and still waiting)
Slap a 3/4 cage in the rear for future expandability
Had planned to keep the stock 8.8 and add a truss, have since replaced with a 9" ford rear end, new housing from quick performance third member etc.
Got the stock c6 rebuilt, added a shift kit.
Factory 351w is still going strong, added a set of shorty headers to it, looking to get a set of gt40 heads.
Would love to build the 351 and stroke it to a 383, but waiting on my onlyfeet page to take off
Stock beat up fenders are staying with some 35s tucked into them.
desolate bumper in the rear.
Front bumper looking to do something custom integrating a skid plate and some tubing into the front stock bumper. (would love photos if anyone has ideas)
Loving the ideas of keeping it sleeperish
definetly not on the level of alot of the builds i see on, that being said first time i've doing anything like that and stoked to get it back on all 4s.
