Nice! I've got the sad reality of REALLY listing my crew for sale now. It's been "for sale" for about 4 years to keep the marital bliss. New toy in the driveway though and unfortunately my baby has to leave. At least I can still look on longingly at others dentsides and dream.

Also nothing but a frame up front so once I get to working on it I will build minimal structure so I won’t have to worry about hitting anything lol

Got to finally start on this last night! Started with removing the stock beams.
Once I had the new beams on I reinstalled the knuckles and wheels and tires
Had to see what it looked like at full bump.

My dad son and nephew helped my tuck the 460 and c6 in to the bronco this weekend. One step closer. I ordered a bunch of hemis and some brackets to start building my steering. Until it shows up I’m going to work on the front end. Start tiring the cage and everything together. Mount the radiator ect

I'm guessing based on the wet ground and the lack of smog check concern that you're not in KA.
Some time ago I had a project Baja that got stalled by massive work over-time and then a friend talked me into selling it to him. The electrical plan was to use one of the
Hella removable key type battery kill switches as the "Ignition key" with a push button for the starter and toggles like these
true mil-spec Honeywell (ect.) toogle switches for all of the switching. The TL series switches are rated for 15 amps which eliminates the need for most relays. They aren't cheap, but IME they're worth it for both their simplicity and and reliability. A pdf that breaks down the part numbering etc.:
https://prod-edam.honeywell.com/content ... load=false I've been successful in searching amazon for all of the versions of these switches that I've needed.
The horn button was the only break from the TL toggle switches plan, for it I was planning on using one of these:

I saw the SwitchPro and had assumed it was more for lights and that sort of thing. It was the lone toggle and the push-button in the panel that triggered my post.
