Tanner's Polished Turd
I've been slacking on starting this build thread, partly due to the fact that I seem to not remember to take pictures until it is too late, and everyone knows they check out build threads for the pictures! With that being said Here is my Bronco, slow and steady build with moderate plans for upgrades as my budget allows.
I am going to do a few catching up posts then from there on I'll try to regularly update.
These first two pictures are of when I first got the bronco drivable.

Re: Tanner's Polished Turd
Quickly ditched the running boards and rear wing.
At this point I was just driving it to and from work/school to work out some of the bugs. (It had previously sat for about 8 years)

Scored a set of 33/10.5/15 Toyo M/Ts for $480 with about 85-90% tread life. This is how I have been driving it for 8 months now.

Re: Tanner's Polished Turd
Here are the cores I picked up and started to degrease and hit with a wire wheel, but decided to send them to the sand blaster.
Sent them off to Threat Motorsports and after a quick turn around I drove out to California to pick them up this past weekend.

Re: Tanner's Polished Turd
Front shocks came in, rears should be here by the end of the week. I am also looking for extended brake lines. Any suggestions?

These look like they would be good. I have had good results with other Russell products.
Although it is not a big deal, some brake lines are not street legal.
These are advertised as street Legal.
