Just picked it up this weekend in preparation for my Bronco to be sold, already in love with it. 5.0/auto with a leveling kit and 33" BFG's. Already working on sliders and a rear bumperImageImageImageImageImage

Goal is to keep it clean and simple like yours, stock front bumper with lights or light bar, shell for camping trips, rear tube bumper and sliders. Not sure if I wanna do cut and turn beams or just keep it at its current ride height with the leveling coils

Looks great man. Sad to see the Bronco go, but this is a cool truck. I had the same year in the tan/gold color.

Thanks! Same, but I'm not as upset now that I have $4,200 to put towards the truck lol. I may copy you and put a light bar on top of the factory bumper haha

Yeah not bad for 225k miles, but it has a rebuilt tranny, new transfer case, and new driveshaft, and working A/C! Gonna need new shocks soon, the Bilsteins on it are done. Just not sure if I'm gonna stick with the leveling kit, or do a cut and turn. And I need to swap out the leaf shackles soon too so I can patch the bed. PO before the chick I bought it from cut the bed to fit drop shackles to give it more of a Cali rake :roll: :cry:

Yupp looks fugly, only two holes to clear the rear shackles though, I'll snap a pic later. Once it's all patched up I'm going to line-x the bed and tailgate once I find a clean one, and make a stealthy spare mount

So picked up a oem t-case skid, intake snorkel, and some other goodies from Willie. Still messing around in my rare free time to track down the annoying pulley squeal, and peel off the crusty old purple tint. Also the HID's act really weird, when I turn them on sometimes one or none of them come on, rarely both, and it's random which one comes on, anyone know anything about HIDs? Oh and my boss was really desperate to move some units so I struck a deal with him and ended up with brand new 33x12.5x15 BFG KO2's, and 15x10 Method Double Standards, wasn't planning on doing tires, let alone wheels this soon but it worked out in my favor, still not sure whether I like the Methods or the Alcoas better though

Hey, those are the wheels that I picked up for my project! I was worried that they would be too wide but they look good on your truck!

Yeah they look really nice slightly bulging out past the fenders. Just had to trim my front bumper a bit more, and cut my fender liner. I'm still kinda wanting to go back to Alcoas though..

Think it's like 3/8. You can always drill it out to 1/2"
