Finally had a chance to drive the bronco and I am so stoked on the back half that Vik built. I am blown away with the setup right out of the box. I’ll get up to Barstow at some point and do some tuning with king but I’m in no rush this this is so fun to drive as is. Front is a big improvement with the 3.0 IBP coilovers, but it’s no where close to keeping up with the rear so I am going to add a big bypass up there as well. I’m sure I could revalve the IBP and get it working much better, but I have the bypass now so why not.

I took some video but don’t know how to post it here. Any ideas how to get it from an iPhone onto here?

There is a page called "Trophys & More" that had a quick clip of it just starting the engine. It still has the back stretch missing the filler panel. That is, unless someone else is building the exact same rig. HAHA!

Awesome to see this thing complete. Definitely an inspiration!

I was hoping to but need to have the bronco down for 3-4 weeks to get all the details buttoned up. Plus Lee is getting my two A/C units up and running around that time. So like I've said the past 5 years, maybe next year it will be ready!

Oh I know the video your talking about now, yeah that is one Vik took when he first fired it up after finishing the back half. Yeah I am so happy with it, was nervous testing it the first time that it wasn't going to impress me after all this work but I am blown away.

This should get the front dialed in nicely!

VikDok got the front end dialed with a super quick turnaround like always. Had to redo everything up there except one main tube to fit the 4.5 bypass. King is doing some repair on the front coilover and once it’s back we will go through and valve everything then go shock tuning!

Stoked on your build she’s come along ways, looks good !! Adding those front bypasses should make front perform as good as the rear. I like your progress photos, closer to mine being in that same garage Saturday morning.

I had been too lazy to get my wheels powder coated but finally did it and was super happy with the guys over at Swift Powdercoat. They knocked em out super fast and I love how they came out. Garret up at Offroad tire guy got me all dialed with the new tires.

King came through on the repairs to the coilovers, got those on and the bypasses came back after redoing the valving. Like always Vik came through, was at my house doing midnight race prep so I could go shake it down in plaster city.

Had a nice quick trip and met up with Brandon Hollander down there. Had my little kids so we just ran around feeling out the new front end and I’m super stoked to get this thing dialed. It’s going to be a beast. I knew I should not have ridden in Brandon’s. Big motor, interior and fit and finish is so on point makes me know I have so much more work to do!!!

Your bronco is awesome buddy. You and Vic did an awesome job putting that beast together.

Sexy as hell !!! The wheels bring her together nicely

Are you running the IBP and a traditional bypass up front?

Yes the IBP and traditional 4.5 bypass. Both were valved with the setup in mind, and I am told by the guy who will do tuning this will be dialed. Thoughts?

I was just curious. I didn’t think the IBP was necessary with traditional BP.

I see, and yes I agree don’t think it’s nexessary at all but I had the IBP’s already and didn’t want to go through the hassle of selling them and getting a regular c/o. I was originally planning to just run the IBP but was not happy at all with the performance. Long story but the reason I wasn’t happy is the IBPs were defective and the metering rod came loose and misaligned and was smashed into the top, destroying everything inside. I didn’t discover this issue until we went to fit the 4.5 bypass and the IBP would not not bump. I’ve heard many people say the 3.0 IBP is more than enough and had it been working very well could have been the case. I guess not such a short story, but that’s why I’ve got the 4.5 and IBP.

If your not using the IBP you could save some weight on the front end and do a 2.5 coilover in place of the IBP. I can trade you if you want
