Hi!

Anyways I’ll just photo dump untill I get up to the most current progress



Bought the truck in 2018ish

I messed up a little bit….
I’m currently swapping to the 92-96 front end.
It was a knee jerk decision, but I’m regretting it a little bit…. I think I’m gonna miss the brick nose

I’m a little out of the timeline, I ran a super trap out the passenger rear cause I couldn’t fit a muffler… (but also didn’t try that hard lol)

Looks like fun. I see you have the standard D44 wheel hubs front end. Some 87.5/88 bronco's and trucks have the undesirable top hat style locking hubs that look like the D28/35 ranger/explorer/b2 beams use

I’m gonna be honest with you Yota…. This is news too me and thank you for educating me. That’s part of the reason I wanted to start a build thread. I’m fairly new to truck stuff so I’m learning on the go. (Throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks sort of program)

I started out doing buggy stuff.

So i am open to any critiques that you guys may see

It was gonna be a two weekend install on the Solo cage…. Then I decided to push the cage to the front and set it up for a 14” coil and bypass.

And here we are… 4 years later

Built some shock mounts on the beam, I didn’t truss the beam up, but I will reinforce when I pull the beams to final weld and prep.


Started on a dual swing steer
