Budget build Bronco II, cheap & capable

[crazyflights]

Update for today , while i'm taking a break. Install Ock rite in front complete, accept center pin, they sent on in box, but the little hole for pin that holds it in place is way to small, cant get close to getting dowell thru it??? So i will call tommorow. Fabbed right side radius arm and has turned out way better than planned, i will try and give you all quite a few pics, but sorry the quality isnt great.

Well got Bronco completed the other day but ran into a little set back, motor has not been to great since i got, it, oil pump would act up, well oil pump finally went out when i was in the middle of a mud pit, so it finished off what was left on the junk motor. But luckily I had spare, that should work out, Monday night motor went bad, Monday night we removed old engine, yesturday, installed new used one, and tonight planning on finishing it up, I will post picks when i get a chance, very pleased with tires, locker, and amount of flex im getting.

Awesome build! What kind of bar stock or pipe did you use for the extended radius arms? I'm wanting to do that to the EX just not sure exactly what to use.

It was 1in & 3/4 DOM 1/4 thick, so had 1in & 1/4 Id, and i had weld in inserts for that size, it really wasnt all that hard to do, i did end up with little bit worse pinion angle than stock, but i can live with it.
