These pictures are from over a year ago... I can't remember if it's linked now or not.

Just looked. This Bronco is linked. The front end is wider too, I sold Mike some axle cores for him to extend if I remember right. He builds high end road race cars (Porsches and Beemers), so expect to see some cool stuff in this thread.


I have later photos of it but I will wait until Andy posts up.

The pic in his sale thread for that third member is from the first night he drove it completed... I'm just posting up pics from its progress for Mike.

The rear end geometry is designed around drive line reliability

Driveshaft plunge is 1.08" and has 5 degrees of u joint angle at droop.

The rear upper control arm is 4130 just like everything else on the truck and is heat treated by Certified heat treating corp out of l.a.

Heat treatment was done on the UCA for side load (sliding the truck around a turn) and is made from 1.75"x0.120" 4130 and 0.100 plate if I remember correctly.

That looks like some awesome work. I like how the attachement to the frame is done. The interlocking tube clamps are a nice touch! Those things aren't cheap either.

Did you truss your and extend the beams yourself? They look good.

Can't wait to see finished pics...

Yeah he text me this morning that he replaced his battery and then the starter went bad. New battery and starter and he was on his way out to test.
