Hey everyone so starting my build thread for my dad and I's bronco. This will be our baja cruiser and weekend warrior. I just sold my 96 f150 prerunner to help fund and build this bronco project. It should be a pretty speedy process, its already in shop over at Hollanders and have about 95% of the parts. The base is a gem my dad picked up at an auction. Its a 1996 XLT 5.8 with only 100,000 miles. Black paint with tan interior. Should have before pics and progress pics up soon so bare with me. I took a while gathering parts before actually getting the bronco and me and my pops very excited to see how it turns out and hope you guys like it.

Front Suspension-
King 12" coilovers 450/550 coils prerun series
King 12" dual bypass prerun series
King 2x2 bumpstops

Hope you guys enjoy and let me know what you think! More will most likely be added in along the way like solo front bumper and desolate rear, roof rack and other odds and ends once i get some more money saved up again. Also If anyone knows of any we are still on the hunt for some 5.8 bolt ons or upgrades, (1) baja rs style seat we only have 3 as of now, new or used 2x2 king bumps, and maybe a punisher valve body if a GFB member happens to have one before we put in the order. Anyways hope to get progress up soon

Re: Jr. Sr. Bronco Build
Here are some update pics. Huge thank you to Travis for really stepping up and helping on this build. He has helped me many times. As many people know We are totally slammed with race prep, redesign and fabrication on a Pro 4, our normal stuff, My day job, new products that we are designing for our line, and we are getting ready to do a big Bronco build to document and make a TV show out of for a close friend of mine that owns a large media company. With that said SR. and JR. and I did some horse trading and we are plucking away. Here are some update pics. Sorry for the mess in the shop
