Lugo's Project AnnaBelle 94'
So this will be my build thread on my 94' XLT! I call her AnnaBelle because I can split it into 2 stages! Anna will be the suspension, and Belle will be the interior and cage!
I warn this is gonna be a slow build, lots of time, no money!
My plans:
I'm gonna do all the fab work myself but it'll mostly be WIY (weld it yourself) stuff cuz lets be honest, without breaks and plasma cams its hard to make intricate plates and trussing and whatnot. Plus it's cheaper than buying complete stuff when I can do it just as well!
Front:
Threat 4.5" TTB extensions and I'll incorporate the uniball.
Threat radius arms. The new plated ones not the oldschool tubes.
Either 14" or 16" coilovers preferably Bilstein or Sway-Aways and a bypass at some point. I want 20" of max travel and strap at 18"
Then tube bumpers, and 4" glass fenders and hood.
Rear:
Some kind of built 9" (any input on who??)
F53 Deavers for now and triple bypasses.
Eventually a Threat 4-link and it'll tie into the cage (when Belle begins!)
There's a lot I'm forgetting but I don't want to bore you guys anymore with engine plans and how I want the cage. That'll come when it starts!

Re: Lugo's Project AnnaBelle 94'
Dumb question but just to be sure, when everyone says the 1" uniball, are they talking about the spindle pivot or the beam pivot?

Not an update but I wanted to share a trick! I'm sure everyone has their ways, but if the glass top starts to fade and look shitty and the paints good hit it with some pledge! It takes about half an hour and it'll stay looking good for a couple weeks before it needs it again!
You can see the difference!

You don't work in Glendale do you? I see a truck like this with generals and 2 lights on the front bumper all the time.

You should tell them to work on their Costumer Service.. I have a set of 3.0 5 tube bypasses that need some parts, and they wont lift a finger to help..

Small update, I finally got those generals on! The bronco doesn't look like such a Granpa truck anymore!
