PILE oh shit bronco 86

[Austen2019]

Hey guys new to this build thread deal so bear with me.
Little about me I have built a purpose built Toyota pickup 22re race truck and raced the more and snore events. Got a couple first place finishes in class 2000 and won a championship. Fast foward to a couple years ago. I ended up parting the Toyota out and only had a long travel kit left to sell. A guy hit me up and asked if I wanted to trade a bronco for the kit and I took the offer. Brings us to currently I now have an 86 bronco.

I got the bronco with a brand new c6 trans with a Rancho 4in lift kit 351w motor no rust except on tailgate and drove on the trailer.

This thread will start from a year ago.

I finally pulled it into the garage and started with the motor. I love simplicity and carbs. I registered it in Arizona so I can remove all smog from it. Put intake on it rebuilt the heads, put a 650 double pumper holly on it. Cleaned everything up with all new seals and arp hardware.

Next was the suspension and brakes it all worked but I was getting it ready for a Mojave trail trip for my brother in laws bachelor party and didn’t want a failure so I went through everything on this bronco. Checked both diffs out new brakes and rotors on rebuilt the hubs and installed manual locking hubs.

After the exterior was good I needed to do the interior. This truck sat with the back window down for a long time and was nasty inside. Removed the dash completely had to fix a lot of wiring replace entire ignition system and duck tape the ac heat system because all the flaps were broken. I made it only able to defrost with heat.

Was able to get it going for a desert trip 2 weeks before the Bach party to test it out.

WTF happen to that jeep

He tried to climb a hill with 4 dudes in the jeep and snapped the axel. Strapped the tire so the axel wouldn’t slide out and got it back to camp.
