Did you ever find what you needed? I think I have some 2.0 x 8.5" coil overs off a pro-lite in my parts bin if you still need shocks.

Dude - I love the way this thing is turning out.

Broke the steering rod with the bend in it. Murphy's Law also dictated that when the broken parts went tumbling under the truck it would center punch the oil filter and wipe that out. lol

Broke some stuff we could fix...
stocked up on desert karma.
Then broke some stuff we couldn't fix....

loaded up and rolled out! koh bound.png made it! koh.png High fived my bronco bro. We made a bet the year prior committing to have both Broncos there this year. We both won. bronco bros.png having it out for the first time was awesome....it's been in the works a lonnnnnnngggggggg time.... koh2.png

Put the seats and "interior" back in the truck to complete the (opposite of a) luxury prerunner feel interior.png Fabbed up a quick spare tire mount just so I'd have one out at KOH. I want to build a dual swing out rack later but this fit the need and the timeline. quick rack.png At this point it wa...

threw in some more wiring!
then fabbed up the twin stick operation
I can jam it in and out of 4H on the fly. 4L is on the co-dog side. If we need 4 low he's probably getting out anyway.....

more coolers and radiator gaurds
fabbed up a cross member
......at this point we were in crunch time to KOH - full panic had set in

Then it was time to put all these parts I've been hording for 15 years back on the truck!
Plumbing and wiring going back in
Bolting shocks and panels in

built a front bumper

exterior tub painting:

I might be a little out of build order given I'm playing catch up, but here's more!

Panels before paint Prep help primed and seam sealed

Testing 1,2,3

pictures didn't post....I'll figure this out again. lol

Back in the forum to try and post more updates! Finished paneling and primed everything before laying down a coat of primer and base “Ford Saddle Tan” then color matched Raptor liner.

Paneling is all in and the cab is patched back up. I still need to finish weld, and won’t be able to do the last row until I figure out a tailgate situation.

I’m not dead - but still not productive either. Lol. The trans and T case are now totally rebuilt, and I’m a little further along on the paneling. Got a lot of cleaning and painting done on the underside, and my temporary brake lines are now replaced with SS. Got some sway bar arms too. Last notable...

Mas….







Working on the paneling and shock mounts.

Good for you! Keep the dream "alive" lol. My crew cab was supposed to be sold 3, probably even over 4 years ago. I'm dragging my feet because it's like selling off a child... Have you done anything to it lately? It seems like fixing a few of the things I really didn’t like set me back about a month...

Ok - I ended up not selling or trading it so rather than make more forward progress I cut the roof off and started making it a 3 seater. Lol

Slowly working on it again!
