wow that was a long time ago i pretty much forgot about this. i had to cut the old perches off the 9 inch then weld new ones on. thanks for liking it! I like it too, and its not bad for being a learning experience for me. now there are lots of things i would have done differently. i learned...

mine:

nice, my radiator hose coming off the bottom was in the way of the box on mine, i wonder if maybe you have a different engine or radiator? mine is the 4.0. and im still running stock steering, with unbalanced 37s and without an alignment, so needless to say its pretty shaky. when i aired my...

too flexy...sounds sweet! sorry if im asking a question already answered in your thread, but what coils are you running?

you got pulled over for 33s on that thing, THATS INSANE!! man MI cops suck. and i like your radius are crossmember!

dude how the hell did you get that steering box in there? i have a 99 too and that box was the first one i tried, but i ended up going with a FJ 60 box cause i couldnt fit the first gen box anywhere. and it looks like its been a while since you got this thing going, hows she doing?

truck looks sweet! im totally copying your rear shock mounts!

man sick truck! looks like the front is pretty stiff, how does she ride?

wow that was an old post i replied to, oops, hopefully it helps anyway!

i bet it could be done with about $2000 if you tried. but my best advice would be to set aside at least $5000 before you start. i just finished mine and its around 6000 and still pretty basic, nothing too crazy

now my truck is sittn pretty, well actually it has a bit of a drivers side lean, but whatever, no worries ill tweak that sometime in the near future. and it pretty much looks like a billboard but it already looks ridiculous, why not make it a little more!

i also did random things like put in a 10 inch sub and mount the cb antenna on the toolbox

Rear end: used 4 front leaf spring hangers to mount the leafs, then got a new yoke and u-joint to hook up my stock driveshaft and set the pinion angle, then mounted the shocks, mounted removable mud flaps, then i put the bed on, chopped it a bit and put on some cheap spray on bedliner, then i...

next on the list i mounted my front axle. just used the stock spring buckets and shock mounts from the bronco and the springs are a 4" rough country lift springs, and i used the stock bronco track bar and steering also up front is a FJ 60 steering box connected using 3/4 DD X 3/4 DD u-joint off...

it is finished, im just showing how i did it. havent got that far though seeing as uploading images takes forever and i dont really like sitting at my computer for that long... so ill get there soon dont worry

after the frame plates were done it was time for some rear crossmembers. i put a huge hunk of steel in the rear (not sure exactly what cause i found it in the scrap pile) and used 1.5in .120 wall tube for the rest. strap holding frame at the correct width: 2 crossmembers: a few more of the...

just a little fyi, the only welds i didnt do on this truck are the front frame plates, the rest i did myself after learning to weld when a friend gave me a 10min crash course. it is obvious where i started welding and what i welded recently because i am getting better everyday, and when i first...

first order of business on the build was to plate the frame. as you can see i have good plates up front, but i now regret what i did in the back. i put plates on the inside of the frame in the rear when i should have just boxed it. so basically the plates on the inside of the frame were a...

chop chop time!!!

i started off the project by taking the bronco apart and keeping what parts i needed and selling what i could. i kept the axles and suspension stuff

well here is what i started with: put 32s on it and wheeled it too hard for the stock **** to take, needless to say, i broke a bunch of **** when the decision was made to do the sas i picked up a 1979 bronco as a donor:
