Update! Got the knuckles back from being stressed checked and updated for the new brake and rotor package. (managed to get one side installed) I also had time to service, clean, and install the front differential.

Few more updates! Beams and Steering are pretty much wrapped up. Dash structure is pretty close to being done, need to add a few more tabs. And installed an EJECTO SEATO knob. ;)

Love this build. Thanks for all the updates. Question - you mentioned you went wider with the Camburg rear housing... how much wider did you go and did you match the track width with the front?

Thank you!
The rear housing WMS to WMS is 72” and the front WMS to WMS is 74”. The last housing was 69.5”. The Bronco tracks a lot better now.
 
A few more progress pics.! After the Off-Road Expo on Saturday, I got pumped to work on the Bronco and get a few more things knocked off the never ending list of things to do. lol

Mounted/Installed:
She's a roller!
Mob Armor iPad GPS case for the wifes navigating area.
Vintage Air Bulkhead
Jamar Remote Brake reservoir to Master Cylinders

I liiiike. Very nice.

But, to be an efabber extraordinaire... was there no way to get that bulkhead on the nice flat part of firewall panel? (plumbing options constrained my install for sure)

The Bulkhead was placed in that position due to paneling. It’ll be nice and protected once the paneling is finished inside the engine bay. It actually sits on a flat surface in the photo. It can’t be seen due to the angle the photo was taken. As far as plumbing constraints. I’ve already test-fitted fittings and hose layout for the AC plumbing. The AC plumbing should all be finalized in the next week or so.
 
A few more updates!
I fab up a bracket and mounted an engine oil cooler. I’m currently in the process of building and plumbing some oil cooler and transmission oil cooler AN lines. I decided to use a different bulkhead for the AC lines that connect to the firewall too. I’m working on that project as well. Those pics will be up next.
